Thought these might be interesting to those who were recentely inquiring about this subject.

No attachment, scan or link appears. Please re-try again. I'd be interested to see what you have.

Patience. I am getting info that the scan and upload went ok, but I can't find anything.

I will list my overrun nation precancels:

Poland--------Hobbs, N. Mex. #728
Czechoslovakia--------Santa Fe, N. Mex. #703
Norway--------Deming, N. Mex. #701
Luxembourg--------Safford, Az. #729
Netherlands--------Estacada, Or. #703
Belgium--------St. Paul, Mn. #205
France--------Gallup, N.Mex. #701
Greece--------Osage City, Ks. #704
Yuogslavia--------Canby, Or. #701
Albania--------Victory, Vt. #729
Austria--------Fellows, Ca.#703
Denmark--------Drain, Or. #729
Korea--------Gastonia, N.C. #712

We had a recent discussion on this before, but I note that your Albania Overrun Countries stamp has a Victory, Vermont precancel. For anyone so interested Victory, Vermont is a discontinued post office having been in operation from 1858-1952. The current population of that town is only 97.

I wonder what the need for a precancel was from that small community. Probably an old business that has since moved or closed shop, I suppose.

Wil - your picture is OK now - thanks for posting. OC's are my favorite denomination specialty. Here is a page from Alaske. If I have two or more different from a type, I hinge them onto pages photocopied from the Scott National album.

OC's, all from Alaska. Thanks Chasa. My pics are too small. Working on that. My wife posted them for me. I don't have a scanner hooked up to my computer (it's a 64 bit processing Windows 7.)

Looks like all those Alaska precancels are from Hooper Bay. Any idea who would have used them back in 1943-44? It seems as though it's a relatively small town of little more than 1000 people today.
