Re: postmark

Looks like a partial strike of LATE FEE SPENCER STREET cds from Melbourne ...unfortunately, the 'year' is not present in the dateline but use of Tasmanian stamps in all other states was valid from October 1910 ... the printing date / usage period of this particular 4d Pictorial would assist in 'tyin...

Re: WHOIZIT? SEEK ASSISTANCE WITH PUBLISHERS/PHOTOGRAPHERS HERE!

many thanks Des,

I didn't think that Jolley was still about when the T cards were published. As he was a 'mainland publisher' I would think that the "T" probably indicated "Tasmania" ...perhaps there
are'V', 'N', 'Q' cards, etc. out there?!

Re: WHOIZIT? SEEK ASSISTANCE WITH PUBLISHERS/PHOTOGRAPHERS HERE!

Has anyone seen these cards before? As best as can be determined (all the cards have page adhesions on the back) they all have the same "postcard back" mylan.jpg My best guess is that they may have been published by A.A. Mylan of Queenstown Any thoughts, additional images, etc. will be appreciated

It's been a 'long time between drinks' but I recently received another view by this photographer in an auction consignment yy1554.jpg To view the other card please use this link http://www.tps.org.au/bb/vie...
