Hungarian Post Office Branch Numbers

Hi Everyone,
I have a cancelled stamp from Budapest and the number "140" is at the bottom of the cancel mark. I'm fairly sure this is a post office branch where the stamp was cancelled but I cannot find a list that tells which number is associated with a P.O. in a district/suburb. I have an old list that only goes up to 104 but I cannot find any info after location 104. Can anyone help?
Cheers

Interesting question.
I had always thought those numbers were just Cancelling hammer numbers,
to audit cancellers at branch.

I don't have a list offhand. Budapest number system used depended on the year. From 1900-1933 they used the numbering system to identify district and PO.

Then until 1955, POs numbers were assigned, but no relation to district.


So around 1955, Budapest returned to the old numbering system for districts 1-3 and 5-14. Two digit numbers, the first is the district, the second the PO. Three digit numbers, the first two are the district and the last the PO (e.g., cancel 140 after 1955 = District XIV).

So what date is your cancellation?

Is it possible to get a list of numbers anywhere?
Thanks.

Can you tell the Office for 112? early



Always curious about this one.
Was it a CTO roller?

Rod your stamp is from 1955, Hungary was not using roller or hammer for the CTO at that time, the CTO was printed in the corner of the stamps directly on the sheet, so 25 cto was printed on a 100 stamps sheets.. this is why the cancel is so clean

All true general practice leave place for exception, they probably have some kind of different CTO that was made time to time


But why your cancel don't have date in the midle is an interesting question

here a similar stamp with the printed CTO , I like those CTO, the cancel is so clean it don't hide to much the design

Interesting information,Area66
