Great, now y'all have got me looking at postmarks... (yay!)  This is actually a pretty interesting one. In the 70's the government required all immigrants with permanent residence that were not naturalized citizens to report their addresses. I asked my mom, who is exactly such and immigrant, if she still had to do this today, and she said that this policy "died a long time ago." You learn something new every day, and you can read more about it here: www.nytimes.com/1971/11/16/archives/aliens-in-us-must-report-addresses-during-january.html |

A couple of NYC duplex postmarks
I have no scholarly information about these, only an unscholarly comment that I have a small accumulation of Numeral and Letter duplexes which I enjoy adding to. There are scads of them to collect.
