However plain mail back to the addressor was free?


I cannot imagine that would be the case. *Prior to this week, all
Registered covers of that era that I have seen were simply that --
Registered and not AR. *If AR return postage was free, why wouldn't
everyone request it?

Maybe, like us, no one had heard of it? *:^)

To clarify, the stamps on the AR card paid the
AR fee, not postage. The card was returned to
the sender WITHOUT additional postage.

I guess that, technically, the returned card
was treated as "OHMS" or "On Postal Service".

Thanks Blair,
now that makes sense.
A fairly expensive option, none the less.

Now, Young Rodney, I have a real AR treat for you: a TravAncore AR
form, on original cover. (Warning: these are 600 dpi scans, so
rather hefty.) Here is the back:

and the front:

the address side (using an Economy Slip) of the cover to which it was
attached, by a dab of glue to the top left corner of the Economy slip:

and the business side, with a splash of SG O108s:

Superb Tony,
you have left that to me in your will, of course.
Goodness, that script is sooooo much like Thai script
I feel I could read it.
If only.

Were you aware that was an AR card prior?
You have shown me that cover before.

Rodney, I do apologise for doubling up on it - but as it's about the
only Travancore cover I own, you must forgive me taking it out for an
airing on every possible occasion.

I didn't know it was an AR when I bought it - the 'other' side wasn't
shown. I took it up for the nice franking.

And as to my will, I'll see my solicitor to add the codicil tomorrow.

The South Indian scripts do seem to have spread all over the place.
That Malayalam look teasingly like Javanese, too.

Lovely Tony, thanks very much,
so that's your Paisley necktie, Egyptian Fez, Cuban cigar scissors
and two year subscription to "Quilting monthly"
Hmm the Travancore cover added to that, almost makes it worth
my while to bump you off early.

If you do that, Rod, you might find a codicil that reads...
"In the case of my premature and / or mysterious demise,
I leave only my Bhor, Bundi, Bamra, and Barwani collections
to Rodney, while the Travancore collection should go to Blair."

That's OK Blair, afterwards we can swap?
Bhor, Bundi, Bamra, and Barwani collections for Travancore, sounds fair?
I may even throw in my Holkar.

You have too much time on your hands Mr. Mac.
Your time would be better spent organising some nice duplicates for me.
This time, try to seperate them from the crumbs of your iced Vo Vo's
or apple crumble that came with the last lot.
