I recently listed this Ricketson Bros. card for auction

Printer's index number is 10 77506 - see Mike's post above

Des, I think that that after a number of accidents (including the demolition of part of the wall on the Sandy Bay Road side of St David's Park by a runaway double-decker) these trams were converted to 'single deckers' around 1947/48. Regarding the crowd pictured on the card, my best guess would be s...

the destruction of an inwards 'Via Panama' cover is particularly disappointing

Excellent project ....... this would be a good thread to also create 'a census' of these cards by posting as many different ones as possible (this may help the source of the photographs) I'll have a look through my auction image files and see if I can find more in addition to the example below unfor...

A new LRD for the Type U2 WYNYARD cds as backstamp on cover ...... Launceston b/s indicates that there was no dateline error

Previous LRD was 15 NOV 1881 so this is an 'advance' of well over a year!

New late date for the ELIZABETH ST Type 7 cds (-7OC87) ..... previously thought to have been withdrawn when the post office was temporarily closed but this cover
indicates that the cds was retained at least for the re-opening of the office.

Another card published by W.E. Rose with a view of the MAIN STREET, SCOTTSDALE - numbered '2'

Has anyone found a 'connection' between W.E. and A.M. Rose yet?

It's a pity no one wears a tie when bushwalking nowadays ....standards have definitely dropped since 1934 Mike, would you be able to post the highest resolution image possible of just the two heads? ..... I can then direct a couple of folks I know to view the image and see if they can identify these...

I was just sorting through a shoebox or two today and found this photocopy that John Avery sent to me about 30 years ago

whats the best light to put under to find it,as only using normal light

cleaned fiscal cancels will usually become visible under ultraviolet ....... otherwise, the largest scan you can make (1200dpi and higher) should be good enough to view the remains of a fiscal cancel

Unusual multi view card for the HUON CHANNEL AND PENINSULA STEAMSHIP CO. LTD printed by J.Walch & Sons This example was postally used in 1907 yy1090.jpg Although J. Walch & Sons Ltd printed cards for quite a few local businesses in Hobart, there doesn't appear to be a large range of cards advertisin...

This multiview card for HEATHORNS' HOTEL, HOBART dates from 1911 (if the printer's index on the back "11/7456' indicates the year of printing)

I have not seen this particular card for Heathorn's Hotel before although I am certain there must be a few around.

Many advertising cards were one-off in nature or 'just one of a couple' so I thought it would be good to have a 'miscellaneous cards' topic. There are well-established topics for cards printed by F.W. Niven and for hotel advetising so if you have any examples of these please post in the appropriate ...

There hasn't been another card by Harvey posted here for over 5 years so I thought it was 'time' Photo of Darlington, Maria Island ....... stampbox on back indicates that this print is post WWI (circa 19120) but I believe the original to be a bit earlier than this. yy1092.jpg Hopefully, I can find a...
