Thanks! Tried connecting the #'s to the Route - no match: and it may be as simple as someone cleaning a "self-numbering" rubber stamp. Then again, it is better to ask a question if you are not sure of the answer. Thanks again. |

Hi
Maybe I am a wee bit prejudiced but the map almost looks like a map of Colombia. What it would be doing on a US cover I have no idea.
My first guess was also "connect the dots".

My initial reaction/guess, is that the handstamp shows a map of Wisconsin. But I'm not familiar with the geography of Wisconsin and have never been there... |

I know. I know.
It was take your kid to work day at the post office and the clerks child was bored. So to keep his interest the clerk gave him a number stamp. |

Certainly not carrier markings lol. A lot of carriers for one cover if they were.
Odd cover alright and certainly a conversation piece to say the least.

Could it represent 1963 to 1987? Is there a significant event is Wisconsin in the time period? Steve  |

Sorry to critique, tiki, but you didn't connect the dots correctly ... they should be connected in numerical order .... |
