Good afternoon Amy

You may/may not be aware of a New Zealand/Australian barred edge Frama?

In February 1986 New Zealand introduced key pad Frama machines to an initial 23 locations. Later more Frama machines were progressively installed around New Zealand. This was at the time of the Australian barred edge Frama paper.

Somehow a (part?) roll of this paper made its way across the Tasman and one of the Wellington Frama machines had this installed and New Zealand 25c Frama stamps were produced.

The situation came to the attention of New Zealand Post Office HQ. I think that it was at or around Christmas time when the NZPO personnel concerned with this + other dubious work (printed inverted Framas, on the gummed side etc.) was essentially arrested at Wellington airport whilst trying to leave for Australia. His belongings included various rolls of NZPO map/logo paper upon which he was to try and obtain Australian Frama cliches, as well as the NZ/Australian paper etc, etc.

Needless to say he did not return to work for the NZPO. In ealry 1987 some of this dubious material was floating around NZ and I presume also in Australia and Germany (where the market for ATM stamps was huge at the time). It is fair to say that this was contrived (rubbish) but as we know errors/contrived or otherwise do have a value of some sort and presumably can still be found from time to time out there.

I am sorry but I do not have any to illustrate.

Thank you.

David.

Cool!! I will add this as a known 'error' so to speak and see if a picture can be obtained. Great detailed information there and definitely worth adding to the thread.

To those wondering why I haven't been adding much to the wiki lately - I have been / still am quite ill. I can only sit up for a few minutes at a time - so I will edit more when I am feeling better. Nothing too serious - just a bad case of the flu.

Keep those contributions coming.

Also - David Smitham (and anyone else) - would it be worth starting a new thread on New Zealand framas?? I have no knowledge in this area but if you think it would be helpful to someone??

Hiya!

Here's an update for your listings!

Sometime (after Festive paper I believe), the Frama machine with B99 Cliche was removed from UNSW and two reconditioned machines were installed at Sydney International Airport - one with a cleaned up B99 cliche and a second machine which had an old 'No Postcode' cliche installed.

As such, you will need to modify your listings for B99 in Tiwi and Farewell from UNSW to Sydney Intl Airport.

I can confirm that the white EPOS paper which was dispensed from B99 did indeed occur at the Airport and not UNSW, as I was the lucky collector who obtained them and traded a few in the collectors market!

I've been a member of the SAFAMISG (South Australian Frama and Machine Issued Study Group) for a few years now, so I have built up a reasonable knoweldge about Frama if you have any questions. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the actual machines when they were still in operation so I know what the mechanics inside were like too!

Hi Amy

Are these images any good for your initial posts.

I have a couple more early ones if you like.

Regards
Harry

levi · **Posted:** Wed Jan 04, 2012 16:53:51 pm

I'll arrange some scans for you of some of these gaps.

Should I post the links so the photo simply loads like a normal post, or, given that you need to move the images, is it better If I remove/break the IMG HTML code so you can more easily move the picture HTML? What's best?
