Does the number in the middle of the precancel represent a particular company or a small town? I started collecting US Postal Stationary last year. So far I have been collecting mint whole envelpes back to the 1920's. When I get beyond that I will probably have to settle for cut squares. You keep saying Post Cards. Do Canadians not make a distinction between Post Cards and Postal Cards like we do here in the US?
I will be doing a video in the near future about precancels but suffice it to say that the number represent towns. I have always used the term postal card and postcards interchangeably perhaps taught so by my father, the post offices also use these terms interchangeably so who knows? Many thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
It’s always good to see really interesting and collectible material that doesn’t cost a fortune!
Definitely! Many thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Thanks for the video. I personally have not been drawn to the cut squares yet. I still "purely" like stamps themselves. 🙂
You are so welcome! Many thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
