On the postmark is given “ The Columbus egg is the COLUMBUS on it IJ” (IJ River info by Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJ_(Amsterdam)
The postmark has the date 02 10 90 at that time the ship was still named STAD ENKHUIZEN, but there is only one passenger ship on the Binnenvaart website which has the name COLUMBUS, somewhere is a mistake made.
