| Abstract: | A search through the Post Office Records reveals that cancellors were dispatched on July 10th 1900, for 28 post offices and strikes were impressed in the records on July 9th 1900, all with PM index. Many of these village marks have been recorded with both AM a ndPM, and a number with only AM. Therefore it is safe to assume that the cancellors were sent with changeable slugs for date and time index. The cancellors range from 19mm to 23mm in diameter - name of village arced across top of circle time index Immediately beneath, month and day, or day and month across the middle with abbreviated year at the bottom. Offices in Gozo were so indicated by Gozo across the bottom of the circles and with a short vertical line at each inner side. [excerpt] |
