I thought this was interesting. I hadn't seen one of these before.
Any info on it would be appreciated.



I think the cancel reads 1JN 2 1945, NEW YORK A.P.O. *** / UNIT 1 ***. Not sure if that is a 1 before JN (June) or what it is. Not too familiar with France cancels.

You have an interesting cancellation there Puzzler,
I'd suggest it is an US Army Post Office strike.
You need a specialist

Yes, probably need to ask on a dedicated US postmark site.

This one $50 but not sure if it includes CDS's
maybe just machine cancels
