    I have a postcard from USA to Dublin with a postage due mark which reads
    1d To Pay D.N.F. what does DNF mean?
    English marks often end with their Post Offices number so it might be Dublin something something?
    I have seen a few similar marks but no explanation what DNF stood for
    Thanks in anticipation

    Virtually certainly Dublin ?? Suggest North something or other. No problem with the 1d, the postmark is 1929 so the old pre-independence handstamps were still in use. The Irish PO had very little money and didn't throw out useful hand stamps, some lasting until the 1970s.

    Financial expediency won over political idealism !

    you're probably right but still can't work out what DNF was, but thanks

    IN UK, DNF means Digital National Framework indicating geographical areas. Could be that this remained the case in Ireland even after independence....just a thought.

    I'm pretty certain it's Dublin something, I not home at present so don't have access to my reference books, but will get it. Remember Dublin was part of, and 2nd city of the UK, so would have had many postal markings.
