Hi John
I think you have mis identified my postmark, HOBART is at the bottom, not on the top as in your example.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

St Mary's Post Office and Church. Postcard dated 1906. No photographers name but it could be R C Harvey?

A couple more from the Ross area.
[

I had a quick look through Hardinge's "The Post Offices and their Datestamps" but was unable to identify this Hobart CDS. Dated Ap 15th 1907, Circle Stops HOBART. Help needed.
Sorry about the poor image, it was the best I could get with a screen image.

The "Ulverstone Express" crossing the Leven River 1916.

For the record, Burke Series No 12, The Smelters and Reduction Works Queenstown. I don't think it has been shown here but has been listed.
It has a Valentine back.

Real Photo postcards do not get much better than this. Claremont Camp Post Office dated on the back, 20-11-15. Photographer was H.Dowie & Co Hobart.

Another HEC related real photo postcard by K.H.Reiss.

This Boags Beer unlisted Niven card just recently sold on eBay. It was posted from Launceston to Deloraine on October 10th, 1908. It is now listed.

Another Tasmanian Photographer not listed in Chris Long's book Tasmanian Photographers 1840 - 1940.
This photographer is "A .Lockwood, Photographer Scottsdale". The photograph is of a very young-looking WW1 army recruit or perhaps a school cadet?

Another Kruss real photo postcard of the Mayvilla Tea Rooms Bicheno. Interestingly printed on the back "Kruss Photo Longford"
Also on the back in poor handwriting the year 1962 upside down.

Yes, I know this card has been vandalised, but it is another rare postally used Tasmanian Franco Exhibition card. It was posted at Hobart on the 14th August 1908 to the USA with the correct franking of 1 1/2d. Also interestingly, pasted on is the Newspaper clipping, "Gossip, The United Sates Consul ...

A new Niven card to add to the listing. Launceston High School Crest & Memorial Tablet. Posted Launceston 9/6/1908

The Post Office Sorell. Photographer A.A.Rollings.
On the back of the card , "This is my office and home. Office is marked X .This is the Mail Motor Car and Coach waiting for the mails.
My address is Mrs Quintal, Post Office, Sorell, Tasmania."

The old Bothwell Post Office on the 7/4/22. Another coat of paint! This time a pleasant shade a grey with a white trim.

Hi John, It has a Valentine back.

I do not think this card has been listed before, Burke Series Number 10. "Looking Toward Smelters, Queenstown, Tas."

I have not seen this Clarke and Son's Nurseries Niven postcard before. I have now listed it along with the 3 other known Clarke and Son's Niven Advertising cards.
The scan was sourced from the Tasmanian History Facebook Group, Bramich Family Albums.

Card 1. Sorell to Fingal posted August 27th 1908, one day earlier then recorded in "Tasmanian Postal Stationary" by Groom & Shatten.

Card 2. Uprated from Burnie to the USA, posted August 29th 1908. An early date for an overseas destination.

Just recently I notice on an internet auction site four postally used Tasmanian Franco British Exhibition postcards in mixed lots. Unfortunately each card had the stamp removed, but it was possible to date each card with partial postmarks and some of the cards were hand dated. Each card was addresse...

The old Bothwell Post Office is now a lighter shade of Pink! It appears not to be operating as a post office no longer.

An extraordinary genuine postal use of a Tasmanian Franco British Exhibition postcard from the Western Australian remote town of Broad Arrow to Nannine. Broad Arrow is located 38kms north of Kalgoorlie and today is a ghost town. The card is addressed to Nannine which also is a ghost town. Nannine is...

A new book on the life of T.B.Moore was published and released a few weeks ago titled "The Track Cutter" The author is well known Tasmanian, Patsy Crawford.
If you have an interest in Moore and/or Tasmanian West Coast history you should read this book.

Another interesting T card. Australian Titan Products, works near Burnie. Construction started in 1946 and production started in 1948. I would date this image late 1947/early 1948. This same image as a real photo appears in the rare booklet, "Tioxide Australia Pty Ltd, A Pictorial History 1946 - 199...

I would have to agree with Ross. I doubt very much that these T cards were published by Robert Jolly. Robert Jolly sold his business in 1919. One of the cards which I scanned has a picture of the Australian Newsprint Mill at Boyer, near New Norfolk. This mill commenced production in 1941 and the mil...
