This postmark seems to read Korolówka k. Borszczówa.
This is the name of two different towns, the second of which is today in Ukraine.
Is this a TPO postmark? Both towns appear to be very small - especially the first - so I find it hard to imagine that there was once a railway line connecting them.
The stamp was canceled during the Pilsudski years when Poland (1923) had a sort of Federation after obtaining some short lived treaties.Below a map of the South-east sector of the federation.Korolowka was dependant on the regioal (Powiat) town of Borszczowa.The Poles call this the borderline region or (Kresy). The small k. in the cancel signifies this.
Thanks for the information, everyone! I think there might be a number of towns called Korolówka and that one of them is in Poland. My googling didn't turn up this one in Ukraine. This Korolówka is small (92 people in 2001) but may have had a larger population back in 1923.
