JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen Postal mark - England? Viewmate #general
Hilary Henkin <hilary@...>
Hi, everyone!
I have a photo-postcard; the kind with a personal photo on the front, and
postcard markings on the back - ready to mail.
I think the photo is my grandmother's now-long-lost brother Hirsh/Herman
RINCOVER. I suspect he was in England or Palestine at the time, possibly
during the 1920's or 1930's. The only writing says, "My father Herman
before his death."
Since the card was never actually mailed, the only other clue is the
printing in the corner where the stamp would've been stuck. Sort of
a "postal mark".
I've uploaded a scan of that postal mark to Viewmate #329. Might one of
you be able to confirm the country of origin, and possible time period?
