- Nope, Canadian postal codes are in the form: A1A 1A1 where the first letter indicates the general location with lower letters on the east coast, higher as you go west (toronto M, vancouver V) Fun fa

- 80252 isn't a Canadian postal code. Canadian codes are 6 digits in two alphanumeric groups of three. 80252 is Denver, Colorado area, so I think the state designation should be CO instead of WO. There

- Another note is also inside: Triangle Eng Rebuild 4416 Roosevelt Rd (SE of Cicero) NE8-3212 Hans Felberg so, I guess you're right about the original location! (Downers Grove, Ill.) But nobody knows

- The "WO" in your original post continues to be a puzzlement - unless it's an old phone number, using the first two letters of a district suffix. Downers Grove is in Illinois, and Roosevelt Rd. and C

- Lawrie beat me to it (and I come from further away, too). In the mid 80's I lived near and worked at the Lockformer company in Lisle, Illinois. I had a few (quite a few) big nights out at a pub in Do

- I'll bet you're right. I was taking the number to be a zip code, but it is also right for the old phone numbers here in USofA some years back, LLN-NNNN, my number used to be WE9-3392. -Rock http://ww

- Yeah, saw all that. Funny - the main thing I thought about Lockformer at the time was how CLEAN their *factory* was. Because it was also the showroom for their big metalworking machines they kept it
