Very interesting one skilo - I didn't realise collieries had postmarks. I am originally from the UK. and Emma Colliery was also known as Towneley Colliery (Durham area) - closed down in 1968

Thanks Bas, I appreciate the kind words! I have learned that the Colliery Postmarks are quite scarce, so definitely keep a close eye out for them!

Here is another interesting one:

Glasgow & Carlisle ~ Up Special - Feb 18 1913 (almost its birthday!)



Have a good one,

Nice one.

If you ever find that postmark with the date 6 August 1963 that may have come off the Royal Mail train of the 'Great Train Robbery'. The 'great train robbery' was on the 7 August, but I think the TPO's may have used the prior days date as the train started from Glasgow before midnight.

Dear Bas S Warwick,


Secção = functional divison inside Lisbon central post office.

C.G. = Caixa Geral (General Letter Box)

7 1/2 T = 19h 30m

SOURCES
For "secção" (postal decree, Portuguese language)
Decreto de 1/12/1892
For C.G. ( postal guide, Portuguese language)
JUNIOR, João José Lopes (1908). Guia postal para uso do commercio [...]. SL: Typographia do Commercio.
