TITCHFIELD (Hotel) Post Office

The Titch.field Hotel (near Port Antonio) opened a seasonal post office in 1903 and they
provided lodging for a postal clerk. The United Fruit Company owned the hotel. A three-
line date stamp started use in January 1903 but overtime the date type became worn and
distorted. The day and month were removed, leaving only the year "03" type with
manuscript for the day and month. The 1903 season ended in May 1903. (Blue ink used)
