Next on the list are Packet Cancels with an "*" and no code ....
Were handstamps assigned to individuals ? Is that why the code numbers range up to 75, because there were a lot of people working to cancel the packets (multiple teams, multiple shifts) ?
It's good to see these packet cancels, obviously 'ugly' but with a wealth of variety.
ReplyDeleteAnother aspect is that many of these are on what I refer to as 'Bank Cards' which often have stamps on the front and the back, and pay higher parcel rates.as with your £1.55 and £3.15 examples. Having these from the 70s often means a mix of decimal and pre-decimal. Throw in regionals as well as they make quite an interesting study - which I shall put on my own postal history blog at some time!
