Hi, are they special? Correct postal rates? What would their values be? Thanks.

Mixed States - Federal usage are always popular especially with the OS perfins.

The post marks could be valuable also. I don't have my books with me at the moment (on a train) but:

Bundalaguah (2) RO c.1902; PO 12/1/1914; RO c.-/5/1915; PO 1/3/1923; closed 29/6/1974.

Cobaw PO 1/12/1887, provisionally closed 11/8/1952; closed 31/8/1953.

In any case the obscure post offices would only add to the appeal.

The Bundalaguah appears to be from a Receiving Office period, hence it should be scarce.

Traralgon3844 -- thanks for the info

Bundalaguah appears to have used that same cancel right through to 1969 and is rated R. Scarce but not too scarce and as stated on a cover such as yours would be much more desirable.

Cobaw similarly used the same cancel right through to it's closure in the 1950's. Again rated R.

Traralgon3844 -- How about Camperdown?

I presumed that Camperdown being a large town would be common.

I was right.

Interesting the STATE QV head issues were being used latter 1920s.

I reckon ~$20 the lot listed here is the right kind of price.
