Scott 307 Purple Postmark

Does anyone care to comment on what type of postmark is represented on the following example of a Scott #307? It looks purple in color and appears to start with the word "FAR" on line one, and the numeral "1" on line two--on closer inspection it wouldn't be a numeral "1"...maybe a partial "M" or "N" ... perhaps Far Rockaway, New York?: Once again I stand corrected, as upon inspection of the stamp inverted, it looks as if the letters are "FARM..." or "FARN...":



Although the stamp has only a minor monetary value, the cancellation seems a bit unusual for the time period.

I am not a large US collector,
I rummaged through my early US
Had this one for 1908

Thanks. I figured it was probably a parcel postmark of some sort, as I have a number of them as well, but never one stamped in purple, although I suppose if a postal clerk had a purple stamp pad handy, there was nothing to forbid using that color ink, as the entire purpose was to cancel the stamp to prevent re-use.

Better than the "marker monkeys" we see today, I suppose.

Those are box cancels, aren't they?

Farnam, Farnams, Farnan, Farnell, Farner, Farnerville, Farnes, Farnese, Farness, Farney, Farnham, Farnhams, Farnhamville, Farnhurst, Farnsworth, Farnum, Farnumsville, Farnworth,

I think that's as close as you'll ever get.
