it looks more like a 3 (upside down) to me, which would make it Alphen.
The back of William's head is more or less in line with some of the number, that could be confusing.

Hi Phil,
That digit does not look like any numeral cancel. The problem, I think, is that there are two (different?) cancels over top of each other. See the top right.
The bottom part of the numeral looks to me like a 7 (upside down) with possibly a 2 or a 3 or just a random circle above it.
Here is what a 7 should look like:

I think that I may have been wrong assuming that it was a 3. Take a look at this 230 (Wassenaar).
Your cancel definitely looks more like a 2. It also looks like it was moved a bit when it was applied.

Hi Phil,
I believe it's a 9 with a line underneath to show that it's not a 6.

the 9 in Dutch numeral cancels looks very different.
(the 6 as well, for that matter)
I have not heard of 6's or 9's being underlined to distinguish them.

In order to tell the 6 and 9 apart, an extra dot was added under or to the right of the numeral.

I am sure most readers caught the meaning, from the similar words and previous explanation.
English is so Dutch or vice versa;
Extra point below the figure.
This point was made to prevent confusion with 'upside-down' appearance.
9 could be seen as 6, as well as 99 as 66 without an extra point.
The extra point can also be placed at the bottom right of the digit or number applied.

That's a very accurate translation. Did you do it yourself or with some help from Google?
It is correct, English and Dutch have a long history of influencing each other. Many English words (not only American English such as cookie and boss) derive from Dutch.

I have my Dutch-English dictionary. I write out what I think it is leaving blanks for what I do not . Then I try to fill in blanks and finally I looked at Mr. Google to see how close I am. Google translation is slightly different, but about the same overall meaning.
It is simply a late night mental exercise.

I thought that this might possibly be a 2 for Almelo but perhaps its not a numeral cancel at all...Help, bring in the reserves !!
