      I liked that aspect of it, and Heleen probably chose to send it on the 24th for that reason

    Is that an envelope from the future? Postmarked 24th of January 2417? Cool, time travel!

      Haha, 17 probably reflects the time of day, or maybe it is just a mysterious code only know to POstNL.

      The post office is always mysterious

      It can indicate the time or the number of collecting. I guess it is the time, because "17" is a high number.

    I first thought 17 might be a number of the postal-process-location (but that already is clear by the city name above of the postmark). But thanks to FinnBadger and Eva (and a Dutch website for postmark collectors :-) ) I found out that indeed it is the indication of time.
    In the Netherlands there is no am or pm when written (we do say, for example, '5 in the morning' and '5 in the afternoon'. However, in written language, and in the digital clocks, we count from 0 (midnight, 0 am) to 23:59 (11:59 pm). So the 17 (17 o'clock) means 5 pm.
