Fascinating. I can do 36 many times over, but for 37 I can only find as a postal zone number.


You posted a couple of nice 38s, getting back in sequence, here is my best 39.

(Note the Los Angeles #37 dial in the previous post is almost certainly a machine number at a central processing site, rather than a zone number at a remote station, a subtle but important difference from a postal history standpoint, although maybe too trivial a detail for this thread.) That said, I have not located a 37 in my own files, but I don't file this way either.

Boston Zone System at Cambridge A, #39:


Ingalls, Indiana RFD cancel, route 39. No, Ingalls did not have 39 routes, but rather this is part of a countywide numbering system.

Pend(e)leton, Indiana RFD handstamp with an extra "E" typographic error,#42.
Like the #39 Ingalls, this cancel is part of a county-wide numbering scheme.
