It’s damaged and counter-stamped. I’d hang onto it but nothing that special.

 

Thanks.

 

It’s a zip code on Pennsylvania, somewhere in Lehigh County, around Allentown I believe.

 

Zip for Allentown, PA. Different number on the reverse.

 

I’m sure it does. Probably the combination on his safe. Lol

 

Auschwitz

 

Not that. My dad was there.

 

Put my foot in that one.........sorry to hear.

 

Weren't there zip codes in 1945?

 

Not until the 1960’s. They had 2 digit postal zones before that.

 

How would you know that?

 

I believe it was used as a token for something, similar to the coal miners checking in and out at the mine. Just a guess.

 

What it is is neat and interesting.

 

I wish I knew the history behind it.

 

I wish you did as well. Those numbers could mean so many things. Some counter stamps can be traced but others can not.

That is all I got...don't like, it, well, then it is National Archives SN Identifier for the 1945 List of woman prisoners of war. Germany Military District-Office Of The Signal Officer. US. Don't like that one either? Doityourself.com.
