I've been collecting covers canceled in Chicken, Alaska, and I recently picked up two of them that each have a penciled notation on the back. Can anyone tell me what the notations AK-1081 and AK-0772 refer to? Is there an Alaskan reference work with these kinds of numbers?

There is "Postmarks of Territorial Alaska," originally by Bill Helbock and now in a revised 4th edition by Dr. Michael Senta. 9 markings are listed for chicken. The type format for the catalog starts at 1 for each town and is numerical.

Those numbers look like inventory codes to me.
