SCENES on the MT LYELL RAILWAY PACKET - RARITY ??

[Ross Ewington]

I can only recall having ever seen two other examples of this highly attractive packet
that housed the 12 "artist type" colour PPC printed by Osboldstone and published by the
Mount Lyell Railway Co. to promote tourism on the West Coast ..... both packets were
in a more "stressed" condition than this example.

Do you have an improver on my packet above? Please post your superior example here.

I have always "dated" this postcard series as being from c.1908 ..... does anyone have a
more exact year of issue?

See "Postcard Envelopes" thread for perhaps a slightly better example.

My earliest date is 19/11/10. These cards are much rarer postally used.

Another envelope, has faults. I guess finding a envelope without some faults would be a long and difficult task. An envelope in any condition is rare!
