J2186, You do not have your account set to accept emails, so I will ask openly. What are your thoughts as the numbers increase and get harder? Invite posts by incremental ranges?

And now for the weekly update:

57: killer from steel duplex


58: Newton, Masachusetts, another Boston area zone number


58: U.S.S. Eagle No 58


59: Newton Center, Masachusetts, another Boston area zone number


59: APO 59


59: parcel post style roller cancel from Cincinnati, Ohio


And advancing one increment to 60:
60: double-ring oval handstamp from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania


60: Great Britan machine cancel which is identified as "060 = Bournemouth Hants. (Hampshire) 1929-1962 (Geographic county of Dorset)" on page 6 of this useful thread on GB triangular postmarks:

60. From a study of foreign due marks I made some years ago with the following description: Air mail letter 0-5 grams to Kenya. Sufrace fee 60 öre. Air fee 30 öre/5 grams = 30 öre: Total fee 90 öre. Shortpaid 30 öre. Due handstamp indicates double deficiency 60 öre and foreign letter rate 60 öre. 50 c have been charged in Kenya, which was probably the Kenyan surface mail foreign letter rate.

And another 60: Pallai?, Ceylon




@John,

At some point we will have to consider ranges. Numbered cancels were used in a number of countries which have not yet been represented in this thread - such as Great Britain, France, Italy, German states, Australian states. These numbers go up a long way - the largest example I have is 5005. But I don't seriously collect these areas, so only have very sporadic examples.

For the next while, though, I am only missing 61, 69, 71, 86, 87, and then 127. So with some help, I can go for a while yet.

Thanks Jan. I wanted your insight since you have posted many items here.

Advancing to 61:

61: Parcel post style roller from Los Angeles, California


61: Double oval from Baltimore, Maryland


61: Steel duplex handstamp from Newton Highlands, Massachusetts, a Boston area zone number.

I can do a 61 but I can't immediately find any other 60s, my next one is in the 70s.
