Natal Post Office Agencies
Quote from Steve on March 29, 2020, 11:08 amCan anyone tell me what Natal town POA No. 107 refers to? Is there a list of POA numbers with town names? It would be useful if someone could append such a list to this thread. Thanks in anticipation.

Quote from cpsrb2000 on April 10, 2020, 5:52 pmHerewith an additional contribution on this topic. POA 63 was used in 4 other places before the last record as being in Loskop 1906 to 1907, according to Kantey. Rated RRR by Putzel, Loskop was upgraded to PO in 1907, then up to PTA 1910 & STO in 1911. Possible late (post-1911) use possibly due to the new PO canceller being broken/lost, and replaced by this old POA63 canceller which should have been returned to central stores when superseded.

Quote from Johan64 on May 17, 2020, 11:11 amYes, the collection comprises of postmarks of Durban and Pietermaritzburg post office and suburb post offices, covering both pre Union, Union of SA and RSA. I could scan and email it to you, and if you are interested, we can discuss a price. So I will need your email address in order to send it to you.

Thanks for the into. Unfortunately too wide a period for me as I concentrate on pre-union Natal, and I have deep examples of Durban and PMB. and areas.
But many thanks for the opportunity.
Keep well.
