Illustrated side has CITY IMPROVEMENTS FAMILY HOME In centre: DEPNT 1D The other side is blank, except for a very small countermarked heart. What city/country is this from?

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 08/13/2025 06:48 am @pert, based on the denomination, it's gotta be from the UK, right? Also, is DEPNT short for "department"? Added: I didn't do an exhaustive search, but I note that Glasgow had a "City Improvements Department" : Quote: The first consequence was the replacement of the fragmented pre-war structure of building and letting by a centralised organisation, headed by the Corporation's Housing Committee (constituted 1916), on behalf of which a new Housing Department (created 1919) organised the building of houses, while the existing City Improvements Department was responsible for letting and management. https://i.rcahms.gov.uk/canmore-pdf/WP00003948.pdf "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
