POSTCARD ENVELOPES by BEATTIE, JOLLEY et al
Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2010 1:23 pm
While sifting through some "retired collector's remnants in a box" earlier today, I came across these interesting items.
They have all been "recycled" to send mail to Tattersall's in Hobart, thus the spike-holes, etc.
.............but this second usage secured their survival!
1) An generic envelope used by J.W. Beattie to sell sets of his "Tasmanian Pictorial Postcards"

2) An envelope used by Robert Jolley (Melbourne) for the same purpose but containing
a "fixed" set of 12 cards (see list thereupon).

3) Another generic envelope by an unidentified publisher (J. Walch & Son perhaps??) for the same purpose. The
are five different envelopes of this type, each in a different tinted paper and numbered 1 to 5.

Do any forum members have more examples of these or any other envelopes? Please post here.
