I'd check on that Barry,

Tamil Nadu State which is the Eastern side of the Ghat Mountains
Google Madurai and Tuticorin

That is an interesting map you have there Rodney. I see it shows
Madras as still part of the Nizam's Dominions. I suspected you of
conservative leanings, but turning the clock back that far? (Though
I've failed to find another, more recent, map of a suitable size.)

One of my maps shows Madura and Tuticorin for Travancore.

Have you studied Ohm's Law.

Resistance is futile.

An excellent map, Rodney. I've bookmarked it ... in case I should
ever suffer a brainstorm, and start collecting Travancore seriously.

I've heard enough snapping and popping lately.

To return this conversation to the elevated intellectual level it had
reached at one point ... Here is a Travancore cover (which arrived
today) addressed to Cochin State, showing the arrangement by which
Travancore and Cochin exchanged mails with each other, without
additional charge:

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

Serendipity again
I had a part cancel "EXPERIMEN" and had been most curious,
thanks for posting those very nice images.
That's very convenient, you can collect Cochin, and have a closet
collection of Travancore at the same time

OK my turn to brag and tell,

"On Sirkar Service"

Travancore SGO4b (1921) 10 cash pink with left "S" inverted.

So you've come around to the idea of inverted letters, have you,
Rodney?

I'll raise the stakes to an inverted right 'S' on a 3 Chuckram

Ahem, not collecting Travancore Tony?
I tug my forleock to your random specimens
that you just seem to have on hand.

I am having a marriage tiff with Travancore,
bloody watermarks, a right pain in the donkey,
I find I can only spend a brief time with them before I lose faith.
I would think I need the very expensive SG watermark machine
if I need to go deeper.

I leave you with a few SG1 examples.

There were (or supposed to be) just two colours, dark blue and light blue.

Rodney, when you say 'SG 1', I assume you are speaking in Simplified
terms. SG 1, in Part 1 terms, was on laid paper, and I would be
prepared to make a modest wager that not all the stamps in your scan
are on laid.

The watermarks, though, certainly are a bed of nails. One (and a very
good one) reason for avoiding Travancore for places - such as Barwani,
to name but one - that didn't plague the poor, honest collector with
watermarks. ...
