Any gum on this? if not maybe its a cut out???

[Malcolm Groom]

Faint remains of gum and difficult to determine whether cut out or not. If a "cut out" from what?

[Ross Ewington]

The margins are too straight-edged to be a cutout and as patriotic labels were produced for fundraising
purposes in Tasmania during WWI, I would say without hesitation that this is a label (poster stamp).

Another point in favour of it being a special printed label is that it is in colour and printing in newspapers,
magazines, etc during the era were almost exclusively in black on white.

Should have looked in 'Jackson' first sorry!

Dave ....would you be able to provide a full bibliographic reference for "Jackson" ... I for
one am unfamiliar with this text. Thanks in anticipation.
