That should have been the first clue. Those are modern. You can buy those at Staples, Office Depot etc. That is not how checks were cancelled back then, or even now. You stamp an invoice 'paid' not a check. After a check is accepted by the bank and the fund transferred, either by cash or deposit, the check is 'cancelled' The punch cancel being the most common. Additionally, there should be an endorsement by the payee on the back.
