Could we get such a stamp from the postal office ourselves?
Mystery nixie on a perfectly addressed envelope from ex posto facto - "UNABLE TO FORWARD/FOR REVIEW" - yet it somehow made it to the P.O. Box. I can only speculate that the scanner algorithm may have read the number on the left as part of the address, and kicked the envelope out for review. Maybe that means it was sorted by human eyes and hands? I love the vintage air mail commemorative stamp, and the hand-carved stamp. Thanks so much!
I am aways fascinated with those addings. We have to live in this automated world where machines only can read QR and barcode.
Sometimes postal additions are good, sometimes they make us shiver. Anyhow, after years of great rubber stamp prints, nowadays the post seems to love to add stickers!... What is your opinion about it?

I thought the NL was made by you! It matches well with the background pictures :-)
These pen stripes are not as bad as they sometimes can be. And I found out that the quality of the stamps is good: using a piece of cloth and some water I made the stripes a little lighter (not too much, to keep some of the addition), and the stamps survived the water and rubbing!
Wow, it is kind of a horror show all on its own!
And even the stamp that did receive a machine postmark received the awful sharpie. I am enjoying the giant NL in a circle, as well. Never seen quite so much added.
