Usually, when you go to the counter in the post officce, the postals clerks put the stamps... in creative ways, as you can see :)<br /><br />I sent a letter to you from Spain today. And, first time in history, the postal worker (the headmaster of the post office!) asked me if I prefer "nice stamps", and she stuck them on the envelope. Then, she commented: "I waste a lot of time if I do this, you know..." <br /><br />About cancellations, I didn't know the rule that Eric and Fafa explained, but it makes sense. However, I'm not sure they follow any rule in the Moroccan post offices :DDMail Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574231572383527950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905212958338435906.post-16692075737887171022017-07-15T09:26:47.540-04:002017-07-15T09:26:47.540-04:00Eric a raison ,lors l'on oblitère les timbres ...Eric a raison ,lors l'on oblitère les timbres manuellement c'est à dire à l'aide d'un timbre à date ,le tampon sur les timbres est pour l'oblitération et l'autre sur l'enveloppe est pour la lecture de la date .J'adore la tranche de pastèque et les pépins qui se sauvent !fafahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736967179502820837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905212958338435906.post-74996853926285011462017-07-15T05:35:39.253-04:002017-07-15T05:35:39.253-04:00If I'm not wrong, the postal rule, when stamps...If I'm not wrong, the postal rule, when stamps are cancelled by hand, is that there should be two postmarks: one on the stamps and one one the envelope. This is to make sure the postmark can be read as it can sometimes be used as a proof of date. The postmark on the stamp is usually hard to read this is why a second one is needed. I guess that one the second envelope there was no real place to ensure the postmark would be clear so the clerk gave up...Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015132661451950665noreply@blogger.com
