Back in the dim dark past of 1953 I got a letter delivered by the postman at 2:35 PM that was postmarked 3:15 PM that day (3/4 of an hour before it was officially posted).

No big deal. We were located 300 yards (pre metric system) from the post office. The postie started his afternoon round at 2:30 PM. Before he left he always checked the in-box for letters for his round, stamped them and put them in his bag.
