Here is the machine stamp I got on a letter from the bookshop of Timbres magazine.
The sticking paper wears a lot of yellow postal birds, logotype of La Poste since 1960.
On the other hand, I know little of the numbers (thanks to Yvon Nouazé for the help) :
* on this adhesive paper, a number (not easy to read) appears on the left bottom and up right explains the type of market passed between the firm and La Poste ;
* in the "perforated" stamp, the code : SE 25355. It is a Satas machine, and this code is a series number.
For the content of the letter (weighting between 500 grams and 1 kilo in priority mail = 3,77 €), I bought some books, cheaper thank to a promotion on prices (see their number of June). The announced books' defaults seems to be just a lack of freshness, certainly too much time passed in boxes. Nothing that makes this books unreadable.
Update of 24th June 2007 :
Thank to a mail from Yvon Nouazé, I update the significances of the codes. He gave me some bibliography in French : Laurent Bonnefoy et Luc Guillard, les Empreintes de machines à affranchir utilisées en France (volume 1, 484 pages) et les Empreintes de machines à affranchir utilisées en France depuis 1999 (volume 2, 284 pages), published by the Union marcophile association. (The marks of franking machine used in France)
