News from the dumpster....

Victorian playing cards stamp 3d

a fine example of engine turning.



US Wine stamps 1934 and 1941

nice vine and grape design there.

.... and to show there is no limit to which I will sink,
the very nadir of stamp collecting,
a nice pristine copy of Aust Parcels post label
franked with Roos small punctured "OS" to the value of 5/-

Interesting as the cancellation shows "Canberra FCT" (Federal Capital
Territory)
the name it had for a brief 28 years between 1910 and 1938
It is now ACT "Australian Capital territory"

(Those of weaker constitution, may be well advised to pass on this image)

Which brings me to my question, I have a Victorian postmark "Hawthorn West
EC"
anyone know the significance of the "EC"?

Thanks.

An equally impressive parcels tag,
showing the Jubilee line and the punctured selvedge
indicating the OS officials were perforated with a sheet fed perforator.

Looks like that to me, too, Blair, though I'm not sure about the 'C'.
Could it be a mangled '3'? Hawthorn is the next suburb, about 500 m
away. Richmond, where I live was - I think - E2, so E3 would be
probable.

I have lost it Tony, archived under something different,
I think it was a 1/- roo.
If there exists E2 and E# perhaps EC was E "C"entral
I am fairly confident it was a C

Don't think Hawthorn could be an East Central, though, Rodney: it's
further to the East than Richmond, which was E2.

OK thanks Tony,
I'll keep an eye out.

odney:

As I mentioned in a previous post, there is a more recent service
called CIJOINT.FR which has a much larger maximum size and
retention period. It is FREE.

Cjoint.Com - 1 MB limit per file , 21 days retention only.
(Note: the owner now asks for donations, as it costs him
300 Euros per year to run cjoint)

CIJOINT.FR - 8 MB limit per file , unlimited retention.
(No requests for donations yet.)

It would therefore appear that maybe CIJOINT,FR would work
better for RCSD as the scans would be retained longer.
