Hi there,
I'm just wondering if anyone might be able to identify this postmark if possible. I've used my magnifier but just can't seem to work it out.
Thank you very much.
Kindest regards,
Debra.

Sorry too hard for me - I assume it is a SA squared circle first 2 letters CO maybe - after that no idea.

thanks so much for your help, yes I thought it might be CO also but find the rest very difficult thats for sure.
Kindest regards,
Debra.

Cooke Plains would be my guess!!

Very clever - here is a link which shows a more complete Cookes Plains postmark

Cockburn would be my second guess, and the more i look at it the more i'm leaning to Cockburn. Alignment of the first letter C is in line with date and the letters would fit. The letter C of Cooke Plains is a bit lower than the date line to allow room for all the letters. It's possible there are different varieties of lettering. All very interesting though

The link I sent before also shows a postmark identified (to the Board's satisfaction) as Cockburn - the orange 4d just above the Cookes Plains pair. Have a look and see what you think.

Thanks so much I'm just wondering though if there is another letter in front there that might be an 'F' or a 'T'. Maybe its my imagination.
Thanks again,
Debra.
