Super palindromic ZIP codes

As a natural followup to yesterday’s 1881 blog, here’s more. What are the smallest and largest ZIP (Zoning Improvement Plan) codes that are perfect palindromes, meaning they read the same when viewed forward, backward, upside-down and mirror image. Once you have them, are there others that fit the criteria? What are the towns with those codes? For all of you outside the US who couldn’t care less, think of something to do while the American readers wrack their brains and flood Google with time-wasting nonsensical queries. For example, find palindromic car prices both before and after the Second World War. Show proof.

the number 42 is not palindromic, but I have been told it is the answer to everything. Will that do?
