Hi Wert

You have one of the modern versions of an "Instructional" marking. Interesting.

In the US we call these "Auxiliary markings". I collect them from the US and Panama.

Wert, I don't know if you want to advertise your postal code. Although it is not as specific as an actual address, I've narrowed down your house to nine possible streets in Mount Hope. You might want to blur that out as well.

I really doubt any disgruntled stamp collector coming to your house man, but the bots may attract unwated spammers and such...just a thought?

Wert:

I doubt there is any danger of showing your postal code, but I removed the image as requested.

It is still available in your personal list of uploaded images in case you ever need it back.
