When slogan cancels were introduced at the United
Nations in New York, they were available only at the UN Post
Office(UNPO). The UN Post Office is a sub-station of the
Grand Central United States Post Office. It is staffed by US
Postal employees and operates under US postal regulations.
The UNPO uses a dater die in which the month, date, time,
AM, PM and the year designation can be changed (Type A
dater).
UN Postal Administration (UNPA): introduced a solid
one piece dater die for the 1961 "Decade" slogan #8. For
slogans #8 - 15 the UNPA and the UNPO each used their own
die on the FD.

Starting with the 1965 "UNICEF" slogan #16,
both the UNPA and the UNPO used a solid dater die
on the First Day. The UN Post Office used its
changeable dater die on the first "working" day
after the philatelic first day. There are two first
days for each UN New York slogan cancel starting
with the "UNICEF" slogan #16. One is the FD of use
by the UNPA and the other is the FD of use by the
Post Office, which actually handles all United
Nations mail, including items postmarked by the
UNPA.
