This cancel caught my eye. It's appears to be something like longitude and latitude and a date. But the only thing that correspond with this date is the Mexican Revolution....


What am I missing ?

Possibly commemorating the revolution ? I might have skipped that day in history class.

re: Help identifing a cancel.

The cancel is from Perpignan, France. Are the characters you are referring to the: "12H 40". I believe that is the time the stamp was canceled. There is a character after the 40 which looks like an "s" but I am not sure of its significance. It might mean soir (night time) making the time 12:40 in the morning but I am not sure how likely that is.

re: Help identifing a cancel.

Thank you. I thought it was 12W and 40S. Lol. Been up to long looking at stamps. And know very little about long and lat. Thanks again.

And in case anyone was wondering. Yes I have a WW collection..or at least part of it right now.


And everyday I think to myself why didn't I just start with one country. SMH

Hi Perf11 and smauggie,

I agree this is 12H 40S and I think this is 12 heures 40 du soir or 12:40 (pm) in the early afternoon.

I've also seen postmarks with M instead of S and so if this were 12H 40M I would read it as 12 heures 40 du matin i.e. 00:40 (am) after midnight if any collections were processed that late at night.
