If the folks are bored, they will write back.

The less sophisticated you sound in your message, the
more likely they are to respond.

Don't ask about values.

"Could I please impose on you to tell me a little about the history
of this cancel?" is the proper phrasing.

This ebay seller has sold numerous inexpensive covers with the cancel:

You might ask him. He reads English, or has somebody who does.

I have seen the subject cancel many times.

It is not "rare," tho if the picture is on a specimen sheet/card, it might be
a bit scarce.

It has some value on good covers and postcards.

I would put it in the "keepsake" category, but serious collectors might find it interesting.
(Danzig is still a fairly popular specialty in Poland, but most of the folks that used to
like the stuff are now deceased.)

Decent covers can usually be found on EBAY Germany for a few bucks.

Cards like this generally go for way less than $200. Often less than $100.
It is a very nifty example.
