Typical horrible GB Parcel Cancellation... :evil:

mstary1 · **Posted:** Thu Nov 29, 2007 21:00:01 pm

Brisbane cancel, foreign stamp. I like it.

Hi mstary1

Yeah I like it too......where do you live?????

What time do you go to sleep???

mstary1 · **Posted:** Fri Nov 30, 2007 08:23:32 am

G'day QldCds.
Live in the blue mountanis NSW, and I'm a bit of a night owl

That stamp is in a large old album I was given. Havent really gone through it yet. But it's an old Golden Globe loose leaf Album. Sheets are tied with string. All stamps from around the world starting from about 1890.

I know bugger all about foreign stamps but this one caught my eye.

Victoria Point.....Queensland....A nice strike on a well centred stamp

Hi dm57

Beautiful...can I buy/swap for it, or do you also collect Qld cds postmarks?

This ones staying home at present Ted,but when it is time to move out....you'll be the first to know.

Do you also collect the Qld numerals ?

Dieter

QldCds · **Posted:** Mon Dec 03, 2007 11:42:43 am

Clear cancels, at the top: one example for each letter of the alphabet....at the bottom: some for just eye appeal.

PS the 'Smitham's' pmk is probably what Cowan & Dell call an Archival or Reference imprint, applied much later with the real stamper (?). I think their terms are euphemisms for 'fake'......

QldCds · **Posted:** Mon Dec 03, 2007 12:02:41 pm

Hi dm57: no I don't collect the numerals, I have enough trouble keeping on top of the CDS. If you do, I have one you're welcome to No 373, which I posted on the thread 'For all the stamps that are NOT regular postage stamps related' some time ago. Although Glen remarked that this number is also used in Vic.

Here's one you can have Ted, it can be your first Xmas present.......just email me your address

Goondiwindi.....2 days after issue I believe....stamp isn't perfect though.

How crisp is that Postmark on the 3d Kooka.....I like that!

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Mon Dec 03, 2007 13:41:43 pm

QldCds,

That scan of nicely cancelled stamps
are a really mouth-watering sight. T
hanks for sharing this with us.
And thanks again for the stamps that
you so generously offered some time back.

Cheers
Andrew

QldCds · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 00:19:49 am

Hi again dm57..for 6 years I drove from Melb to the Gold Coast Qld on Christmas holidays so mother-in-law could see her grand-children..'Goondi' was a welcome stop on the way there, and back...altho' on the last trip in 2003 an idiot galah (that's an Aussie flying-type bird: no beach bikini!) destroyed my radio aerial...no music for 700 km...)
Crosscresscent...more on the way...I know where you live heh heh heh.
regards all
Ted J

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 00:27:02 am

Hi Ted,

Best wishes on your holidays.
And hope no galahs disturb you
when you go on long trips.

Cheers
Andrew

ozstamps · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 00:37:40 am

Andrew we have 2 meanings to the word Galah locally.

And only one of them is a Bird.

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 00:56:21 am

Glen,

What is the other meaning?

QldCds

Where is the Zillmere cancel to make the alphabet a bit more complete? I do have a spare if you need one.

QldCds · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 10:26:55 am

Hi dwhopper: you know I didn't realize my alphabet listing wasn't complete!!! (no Z pmk in my collection....) so I would be elated with a Zilmere

Anything I can swap it for?
With thanks

Ted J

QldCds · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 10:37:56 am

Just as a little aside to Glen's note above: every morning from about 6 am I chuck out seed to feed up to 30 galahs...Judith calls them the 'pink ladies'.

They make up a moving carpet of grey and pink and chortle as they eat. Then I get to watch the sunrise from an easy chair, and chuck stones at Corellas...I call them 'flying cockroaches'.

All a bit "ho-hum" out here on the frontier.

Regards

Ted J

PS I didn't mention the zillion Zebra finches that arrive for the leftovers. THEY look like a mouse plague.

I think I might start a 'birds-on-stamps' collection......starting with some of yours, Andrew!

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 13:11:22 pm

Ted,

I am just closing my eyes for a moment
and trying to picture what you take as everyday routine out there.
Looking at birds, throwing stones at cockroaches
(I told one joke about cockroaches
on another thread and don't know how many people enjoyed that),
zebra finches by the zillions - WOW!

Glad to see someone has a Zillmere cancellation
that you can use to make your collection complete
as far as the alphabets go
- I don't know whether we have towns named after every alphabet in Malaysia
- X and Z would probably not exist.
Perhaps I should turn back to geography and try
and research the names of all the towns in Malaysia
as an aside - one more hobby to add.

Cheers
Andrew

QldCds · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 14:47:30 pm

Hi again Andrew! Did you notice my subliminal fixation on the 'Z'? Unfortunately, dwhopper's Zilmere pmk is ouside of my collecting timeframe (KGV period) If I go beyond 1939 or so, I'd need 3 reincarnations to get close to one from each Qld PO!

AND I might come back as a cockroach as a retribution for my a.m. activities!

Judith and I (teachers) did look at jobs in your country, and trained in TESOL...but....too old to cope...bugger.

Regards
Ted J

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Tue Dec 04, 2007 15:17:26 pm

Ted,

Well, if you do chance this way,
you know who to call.
You don't sound too old
if you can throw stones at cockroaches.
Give our regards to Judith.

Merry Christmas
Andrew & Klarissa

Maybe someone who lives at, or near, Zillmere might send you an envelope so postmarked.
Note 2 ls in Zillmere Qld 4034.

Like the square London cancellations and the German Erfurt cancellation. - 1892 (115 years old).

Cheers

GlenStephens · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2007 03:59:35 am

One QldCds will like .. look at the sensationally bold 1920 strike of WONDAI Qld!

2d Grey roos are $90 minimum on any cover, and in combo with 2 x ½d KGV heads is a most unusual mix, paying correct 3d rate to Europe.

Ted, I am mailing today that Kooka MS to you .. let me know if you want me to add this one too - will not add a bean to mail cost.

QldCds · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2007 10:58:16 am

Yo Glen do I want it?
Absolutely
Indubitably
And quickly!
Regards
Ted J

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:24:46 am

That sure is a really nice bold WONDAI cancellation.
If it was that bold on the stamps, QldCds would be even more pleased.

Cheers
Andrew

QldCds · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2007 12:11:17 pm

Hi Andrew! Glen's cover and the great Rodney Perry article in the SN mag you just received, prompted me to post these covers.

I picked them up for the postmarks, but also enjoy the destinations and lovely handwriting.

The Danmark cover has very poor strikes, but of a rare PO. I like the Mt Isa stamp combination for its "Australianness"....

iomoon · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2007 12:23:38 pm

Nice one Ron.

Do you have any geological Mount Isa's covers?

kris · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2007 12:37:43 pm

beautiful work Ron!
some great postmarks and covers - oh, & stamps not too shabby either!
all the best

ozstamps · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2007 14:49:34 pm

QldCds .. do you have a Longreach on ocver?

This one likely overweight for the 1d 1st step, and should have had 2d Postage due collected but apparently not?

My guess there are 2 different due markings .. the "T" being separate to the

2d
I.S.
O.

Anyone know what the I.S.O. stands for?

GJ50 · **Posted:** Tue Dec 11, 2007 23:02:01 pm

I S stands for Inland Section

F B stands for Foreign Branch

The O was a code, they had a few, I have seen M and I in IS ones and a G on F.B. ones

Slayer · **Posted:** Sat Dec 22, 2007 07:25:48 am

Hi Andrew

I see you collect FMS for their postmarks too

One of my philatelic aims is to create a collection of the FMS issue with a postmark from each of the post offices open during the period- there were circa 220 different post offices open in the 4 states...I'm at number 60- still a long long way to go :lol:

crosscrescent · **Posted:** Sat Dec 22, 2007 13:04:00 pm

Hi Slayer,

Nice to know someone else collecting postmarks of the FMS.
Must admit my knowledge of the number of postmarks is limited.
Didn't know there are around 220.
I just picked these up for the towns I am familiar with and for clarity of the cancellation.
These were offered at half Steven Tan's 26th catalogue values.
The whole bunch put be back less than RM50
- less than 7 pounds sterling or about AUS$17.

Cheers
Andrew

A KGV 1/4 Single w/mark with Balranald NSW cancel - hard to get this cancel so neatly positioned (please disregard some of the pulled perfs and perf toning!):

Tobben · **Posted:** Sat Dec 22, 2007 21:11:58 pm

Manny nice postmarks here. And the postmark is important. Two days ago I sold this one on the QXL.no online auction in Norway.

Husv¦r is a small place on the cost in the midle of Norway. But to get the "rigth" price for it there have to be at last two idio... ahm philatelists who want it.

It is the Nk (norwegian catalog) 246IIa from 1941-45 with an number printed 354.340.000! Catalog value is 1,-nok, but the postmark gave me a price of 100,- nok.

I also tried to sell this from another small place, but that did not sell. I started the auctions at 1,- nok.

I'll look out for these towns.

Thanks again and happy collecting.
