Moscow post office
Can someone help identify which branch of the Moscow Post Office applied the 9 - 21 - 23 cancel shown in the upper left of this postcard from
Petrograd to Moscow? The cancel is on the lower stamp. All I can read is "15th gorodskoe pochtovoe" but not the last word in the cancel.
Thanks.
Randy

Hi Howard, Alex,
Thanks for your help again. It' a bit embarrassing to not have determined the answer on my own. I certainly know OTDELENIE. But it never occurred
to me that first letter in that last word was an 'O'.
Hope all is well.
Cheers,
Randy
