I ran into a C.P.O. OMS cancel that I haven't seen before. Does anyone know what the abbreviations C.P.O. or O.M.S. mean? The postmark is on a Statue of Liberty card and may have been mailed from there or the ferry? It also has standard NYC postmarks (1949). Thanks in advance for any info.

Thanks, Carolyn. I finally found a great postal glossary at askphil.org which lists CPO as Community Post Office - not sure if it applies here, though.

In college it was the student union in our post office. Big gathering place, especially for homesick students.
