The provincial designation on this postmark would be the bilingual "NF-TN" |

Thanks, the POCON looks like those numbers to me.Now, after checking Canada Post's web site 'Find A Post Office' for York Harbour, and that URL address, as mentioned in posts below, I see, with my old eyes  , that the number is 000493. Thanks all for posting. York Harbour, NL : http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/a...d=0000000493It is neat that Canada Post leaves ten digits (4 zeros and then the 6-numeral POCON) at the end. |

POCON: 000498 Date: 20th March, 2006 Town: Bridgeport, NL Code: A0G-1H0 The POCON for Bridgeport is 000493. You can confirm that by checking Canada Post's website. Go to "Find a Post Office", enter the post office name, then click on the post office's name. That will give you a screen showing the specifics of that office. Look at the URL for that specific office and you will notice that the POCON is embedded in the URL as the last 6 digits of the URL. Hope this helps. |

Quote: Look at the URL for that specific office and you will notice that the POCON is embedded in the URL as the last 6 digits of the URL Thank you!   I had never looked at the URL. Looked everywhere else instead. I will put this info in the first post of this thread also. I have recently noticed, since working on the POCON postmarks, that the POCON number for a particular Post Office is also found on pick-up cards left by a delivery person when I am out, and also on the cards send by the Post Office where the parcel is taken to for later pick-up. The card (postcard-like_ is then to be taken by the addressee (me) to that PostOffice to pick up that non-deliverable parcel or item. Another collectible item! |

Thanks again for the URL info. I have mis-read the POCON on the above York Harbour, NL postmark also!
Great to have some confirmation! |
