The postage paid envelope has been uprated for registration & overseas mail with machine label of $12.04 affixed.

Can anyone tell me how the postage of $12.48 was calculated

Thank you in advance.

I would welcome any information on the "CARDED/G.C.M.C/23 MAR 2001" and "2nd/3rd" handstamps at left on this 2001 registered cover sent from Hazel Park, Michigan, to Queensland, Australia.

Chad 'GCMC' as is pretty evident, is Gold Coast Mail Centre - the Post Office Greg's Box was located.

'Carded' notes the date when cards advising box owner that a signed for item is awaiting them, were written, and left for boxholder.

If the first one got no response someone would have written "March 30" or whatever under "2nd" line. And if no further action "April 8th" on 3rd line.

PO here only holds mail for a few weeks then returns it to sender. A staffer might see an item late April with 3 un-collected notes, and toss it back in the "RTS" system.

The recipient is a member here - "tonga2".

Found these items in a box, I think they fit in here. quite interesting to read.
am interested to know what value that is put on these kind of items as I am only still learning.

There are not many references about posted covers, I suppose its all about who to; who from and what about,, and of course who collects them.

A recent acquisition with the bonus of some interesting inserts.

It would appear that the original postmarking was unsatisfactory & had to be redone, which explains why it took almost a month for the cover to travel from Shark Bay WA to Perth WA & only 3 days to make it all the way to Corimal NSW:

This enclosure tells us that Frank Adamik, now of Canberra, was the man behind Wombeyn Cover Service, whose rubber stamp addresses have adorned many covers I have seen during the 1960s & 1970s.

Perhaps the original cover that was spoilt, was back stamped Wombeyn Cover Service.

Posted this in the pre-decimal commercial covers thread, but Brad suggested putting it here. Completely agree

1947 (Feb 3) solo usage of the 1942 5½d Emu paying the combined registration and letter rate within the British Empire; from Melbourne to British philatelist Francis John Field in Sutton Coldfield, England.

This cover was sent from the fifth and last Regional Air Navigation (RAN) Meeting of the Provisional International Civil Aviation Organization (PICAO) for the South Pacific Region, which was held Feb 4-22, 1947, on the premises of the Union Building of the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

This cover was cancelled on Feb 3, 1947, the day before the meeting officially opened, when a special post office was opened at the University for the event. It features the conference's hand-stamped, blue, provisional C6 registration label, showing the boxed PICAO initials and location, "Melb. - Aust.", below.

Detail of the PICAO blue provisional C6 registration label.

The information above was taken from the excellent website on the postal history of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)...
Index: https://www.icao.int/secretariat/PostalHistory/index.html
Melbourne 1947: https://www.icao.int/secretariat/PostalHistory/1947_melbourn ... eeting.htm

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) website for the Melbourne 1947 conference (see link above), features an almost identical example of this cover to Francis J. Field, registration No. 41. My example is No. 36, and was clearly prepared at the same time.

Sister cover to my own featured on the ICAO website.

I really like this one and not just for the use of the triangular stamps.

It also takes me back to my school days when one teacher pointed out that "Britain is an 'A1' country," as a way of remembering how to spell the name of the country ("ai" as opposed to "ia").

It seems our highly educated medical doctor from Libya did not attend that class. I wonder if he got in?

Kindest regards

Did that cover arrive with just a name and Hyderabad as the address? Are there any markings on the back?

Sammy Stamps (The charity I assist at) has a stall at a small stamp fair at Burwood East 3 times a year. I usually find something interesting at the other stall holders. This time it was modern commercially used registered covers from the Pacific region, mostly from Fiji.
