EARLY USE of POSTAGE METERS in TASMANIA - Post Examples Here
Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2013 12:10 pm
From my experience, the use of postage meters in Tasmania is not a popular collecting area or field of research.
I have started this topic to see if we can 'document' some early usage and create a bit of interest ...say prior to WWII.
Here is a very early use of a postage meter in Tasmania - from 1929 and used at Devonport by
an unidentified company. The machine used was a Universal Postal Frankers' "Midget".
This is a very early use as postage meters were only introduced in Australia during 1927.
What do you have?
