Thank you ladies.  Back of the card reads.. "The smiles greetings booklet of 1990, received such acclaim from the design world, that it is re-released with NVI indicator as first class stamps" Looking at the Benham site, I am of the opinion these have little to do with Philately, more as gifts. I see them on eBay for $6 or so. I'll use as an envelope stiffener. |

Hierarchy of Post Offices.
The following definitions of " Sub Office " and " Receiving Office " or " Receiving House " are from the official " Rules for Sub-Postmasters and for Provincial Town Receivers,' London, 1878, pages 18 and 19 :—
" The term ' Post Office ' applies to all Post Offices, whether Head Office, Sub Office, or Receiving Office. A ' Head Office ' is an office subordinate only to a Metropolitan Office. Both Sub Offices and Receiving Offices are under Head Offices. Those offices where letters can be posted only if within the boundary of the Town free delivery of a Head Office or Sub Office are called Receiving Offices; and offices beyond that boundary, but nevertheless subordinate to a Head Office, are called Sub Offices."

Initial immediate guess... ROSSCOMMON B.O. (BO = Branch Office)It is Sir, 101 Cannon St B.O.E.C.BO = Branch Office EC = East Central London (appears a deformed "C") See below image I'll do some further reconnoitring.I think you do retroveal If you can ID 3 or more definite conjoined alphabets, it would be helpful. It is, without doubt, a double ring felt, parcel post strike. Due to the clarity of the text, I'd change my mind to a INDIA RUBBER strike.  |

Cannon Street, London. Etymology The area around Cannon Street was initially the place of residence of the candle-makers. The name first appears as Candelwrichstrete (i.e. "Candlewright Street") in 1190. The name was shortened over 60 times as a result of the local cockney dialect and settled on Cannon Street in the 17th century, and is therefore not related to the firearms. Site of the "London Stone" A bundi (aust slang for rock) a limestone boulder that has been on the location since the 1100's.  |

Wandsworth is the only "worth" I can see in the London SW District, however, no way I can reconcile Wandsworth with the smudge on the stamp The length of the apparent word is too long. Remains "Unidentified" for mine. WANDSWORTH SW Single ring eBay Code AX = 1pm These single rings not listed in the Database.  |
