Quote from Steve on November 30, 2020, 4:18 pmBas has written in an email rather than in the Forum: Another nice card. Bolo is about 25 km NE of Stutterheim, and about 60 km N of East London. PA opened on 1882, and was a PO and renamed BOLO RESERVE in 1892; it was still open in the 1980s when Putzel was producing his Encyclopedia. Your postmark is BOLO Put 1, which was still in use in 1910, presumably at the renamed office.
