I posted this elsewhere recently and it should have arrived at a new home by now.

Image

Let's see what else we can find that is that little bit left of centre.

I picked up a couple of nice items today in a box lot at the Phoenix Auction No. 5. and will add them shortly. (I have to do a little research on one to determine the address.)

Bring yours on.

It would appear that Miss GLEESON did not receive a packet addressed to her in 1917 at Sidelaw, in Waroona, Western Australia.

There is a very faded rubber hand stamp signature in violet of the Deputy Postmaster.

Wycheproof is pretty quiet these days, but must have been bustling in 1889 with 5 mail bags on the train, presumedly to Melbourne.

I have 2 others and one was sent on the 11.20 train. Mail may have been despatched more than once a day.

This one appears to have been used in the despatch chain. The destination office was to be appended to the bottom of the form/tag/label.

The Post Office being a massive bureaucracy would have had a zillion of similar items. You must have some, bring them on and share them with us.

Bilingual Air Mail labels -- English and Gaelic. I think these were issued around the mid 1970s by the Scottish Language Society.

Darn .. the cover is on another Hagner that I now can't find!

Anyway this is from WEWAK .... and they call it NORTH New Guinea! Date looks to be 1960 or 1961.

Muruk tells us - It is a customs declaration for 30 Gulden worth of textiles sent as a gift. Sent from Hollandia in then Netherlands New Guinea to Wewak, just across the border in New Guinea, with Vanimo as the only significant town in between. It is entirely possible that the sender thought of Papua as South New Guinea and New Guinea as North.

Hollandia had that name from 1910 to 1962 when it was renamed Kota Baru, then Sukarnopura and is now known to the Indonesians as Jayapura. Its West Papuan name is Port Numbai.

1961 would make it right on the tail end of being a Netherlands' protectorate.

I bought recently a complete PMG "Date Stamp Impression Book" from Burnie Tasmania and mailed it to a member here.

Each of the postmarks - indeed even when the hour slug changed within each day - needed to have an impression made in here, and initialled by the PM. Indeed often there are two initials on each strike.

In over 30 years of dealing I have never seen, much less owned one of these! I had no idea the record keeping was so intense back then. I be this has not been prodecure for many decades. 8)

Lawfully acquired .. indeed as it is pre 1975, and precedes The Postal Services Act 1975 (when Telstra and AP were formed) it is perfectly OK to own, and indeed to exhibit.

Anyway, a most unusual animal, and thought I'd record it here for posterity!

In 1914 The British Post Office Engineering Department posted a remittance for "wayleave". Presumably the impression of the superintendant's 'crown' was
authorisation to dispatch the letter without a normal postage stamp.

The payment of telephone bills by the use of stamps has been mention on the board a few times.

Up until the early 90's you could pay your telephone bill via the use of stamps affixed to a payment card.

Any extra was refunded in stamps or cash.

This was in an estate lot I bought and sold this week.

Had all the little denomination tab dividers down the side.

When I saw it, my heart beat increased a bit -- but alas it was empty! 8)

Here's a 3 page Telegram from Buckingham Palace to The Provost of Burntisland in 1928. The provost must have written to wish the King good health after he had taken ill.

Since we're on a telegram kick, here's one from 1927 Germany that I found tucked inside a mourning cover. Have also included the card enclosed in the letter, the message might be related to the telegram?

Found this in my stamp shop today, it folds into a neat little entire with space in the middle for the letter.
For those that can't read upside down, it reads;
"Limit Mail to Japan to 24 words."
Can you imagine having to write such a short message to someone you love but can't talk to? :(

phrag, I suspect Glen is fully aware of that - it's better than him just typing "bump" and it will bring this to the attention of a few thousand new members who weren't around when it was first shown :wink:

This may be slightly off topic, but I found the tie in to be interesting.
As usual, it's funny what can be found in the "bottom" of a box lot.
Saw this and didn't think much of it. Saw it was done for the Scott company, thought that was kind of interesting. Then saw it was printed by the American Bank Note Company and thought it was a pretty good tie in to: stamp collecting and stamp production.
The one thing I wish it had was a year tie in (I'm guessing 1940's maybe ?)

OK, just one more!

When Germany lost its colonies during WWI it was left with excess postage from the colonies. In the early 1920s, the Reichspostministerium Markenverwertungsstelle, the office of the German Postal Ministry responsible for old stamp sales, sold these excess stamps with the proceeds going toward reparations payments.

These are envelopes from those sales.
