(RCSD) Meter Frankings~Australia
On topic, regurgitating a Blair post of 2005 for interest in .......[ US meters ] A slightly different format, the meter is applied to a "stamp" not to the cover (1974 Robert Frost Centennial ) http://cjoint.com/data/kCcfgnVZLA.htm (US) Metered Mail Advertising The (Post Office) Department has approved the use of metered mail indicia as a means of private advertising, but the advertising matter is restricted to the product or service of the firm holding and using the permit. This form of advertising has been permitted in some foreign countries for several years, but the first I have seen here is a cover from Steinway & Sons, sent me with the compliments of Theodore E. Steinway. This cover bears the customary type of metered impression with the city name and paid indicia, but to the left of the former is an inscription "The Instrument of the Immortals" and a neat reproduction of a piano. As an interesting sideline, these new metered impressions will very likely find many adherents. - George B. Sloane Sloane's Column Stamps June 15, 1935 Note: At a recent Nutmeg Stamp Auction, there was offered a Steinway 3c Violet Meter impression (Hawkins-Stambaugh type DD1), International Postal supply Co machine (#5018), New York City, 4/21/38 with illustrated slogan for Steinway Pianos, depicting a child at piano. The estimated price was $20.00 |

not to the cover (1974 Robert Frost Centennial ) http://cjoint.com/data/kCcfgnVZLA.htm Meter used as a cancel: When the Scott Base (Ross Dependency of NZ) PO closed in 1987 a meter facility was made available. Some enterprising folk got the amount set to zero and used it as a cancel- see: http://www.100megsfree3.com/glaw/scott/1988%20fish.jpg - a 1988 cover. Presumably the PO accepted it as legitimate mail. Otherwise post-closure mail from Scott Base was flown to Christchurch and cancelled there - |

Must be one of the rarest meter frankings. http://cjoint.com/data/kCdNJpwy0c.htm (Posted before on RCSD) |
