News from the dumpster....
Victorian playing cards stamp 3d http://cjoint.com/data/gAj27tYsXq.htm a fine example of engine turning. US Wine stamps 1934 and 1941 http://cjoint.com/data/gAj4vGoUdi.htm http://cjoint.com/data/gAj5DSDHng.htm nice vine and grape design there. .... and to show there is no limit to which I will sink, the very nadir of stamp collecting, a nice pristine copy of Aust Parcels post label franked with Roos small punctured "OS" to the value of 5/- Interesting as the cancellation shows "Canberra FCT" (Federal Capital Territory) the name it had for a brief 28 years between 1910 and 1938 It is now ACT "Australian Capital territory" (Those of weaker constitution, may be well advised to pass on this image) http://cjoint.com/data/gAkc1Rn7Ta.htm Which brings me to my question, I have a Victorian postmark "Hawthorn West EC" anyone know the significance of the "EC"? Thanks. |

An equally impressive parcels tag, showing the Jubilee line and the punctured selvedge indicating the OS officials were perforated with a sheet fed perforator. http://cjoint.com/data/gAk5gVMUvH.htm |

Looks like that to me, too, Blair, though I'm not sure about the 'C'.
Could it be a mangled '3'? Hawthorn is the next suburb, about 500 m away. Richmond, where I live was - I think - E2, so E3 would be probable.

I have lost it Tony, archived under something different, I think it was a 1/- roo. If there exists E2 and E# perhaps EC was E "C"entral I am fairly confident it was a C "Asia-translation" Looks like that to me, too, Blair, though I'm not sure about the 'C'.

Don't think Hawthorn could be an East Central, though, Rodney: it's
further to the East than Richmond, which was E2. Tony rodney wrote: I have lost it Tony, archived under something different, I think it was a 1/- roo.

OK thanks Tony,
I'll keep an eye out. "Asia-translation" wrote in message ... Don't think Hawthorn could be an East Central, though, Rodney: it's further to the East than Richmond, which was E2.

McGee Sierra Madre, Los Angeles, California, USA, Earth Member: APS, ATA, ISWSC, MBPC Trade?: *http://www.mcgees.org/stamp-offers/ odney: As I mentioned in a previous post, there is a more recent service called CIJOINT.FR which has a much larger maximum size and retention period. It is FREE. Cjoint.Com - 1 MB limit per file , 21 days retention only. (Note: the owner now asks for donations, as it costs him 300 Euros per year to run cjoint) CIJOINT.FR - 8 MB limit per file , unlimited retention. (No requests for donations yet.) It would therefore appear that maybe CIJOINT,FR would work better for RCSD as the scans would be retained longer. Blair |
