This is a nice and fast one!
ReplyDeleteIt did travel fast, didn't it!
DeleteJoli timbre arrivé à point nommé pour le timbre du dimanche :)
ReplyDeleteA very cheerful stamp that allowed me to participate today
DeleteHow timely.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love when numbers align so pleasingly!
I liked that aspect of it, and Heleen probably chose to send it on the 24th for that reason
DeleteIs that an envelope from the future? Postmarked 24th of January 2417? Cool, time travel!
ReplyDeleteHaha, 17 probably reflects the time of day, or maybe it is just a mysterious code only know to POstNL.
DeleteMaybe a mysterious code. Anyway a nice stamp.
ReplyDeleteThe post office is always mysterious
DeleteIt can indicate the time or the number of collecting. I guess it is the time, because "17" is a high number.
DeleteYes, Pretty stamp! I wish I got one yesterday 😄
ReplyDeleteI was very fortunate!
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIn 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.
