Illustrated in 100 Years Ago / February 1843 August / Centenary of the First Adhesive Postage Stamp of the United States, Elliot Perry & Arthur C. Hall, p. 36, fig. 16A
There is no doubling of this CDS but the timestamp appears as if the numbers were on a thumb wheel and the device was stuck between two settings. (The upper one appears to be an inverted 9:30.) There is also an extraneous marking between the second O and C in O'CLOCK.
