Australia~Stamps not in the catalogue.
We landed a rare fish yesterday.
Australia Post's "Across Town" Parcel stamp. First I have ever seen, similar to the rare "Box Link" Sydney labels of the early 90's I have written to Aust Post as this service does not appear on their website, or it is very well hidden. I have a feeling this particular label comes with a service (probably repetitive) on delivering magazines to Anglican Churches throughout our city. http://cjoint.com/data/mqbFZxDJhz.htm The label comes diecut to prevent removal and re-use. http://cjoint.com/data/mqbLUljkNI.htm |

You are most welcome Tony,
all my scans / images are free to anyone to download and retaining on their computers. If there is anything that comes with a known copyright, I try to indicate by "acknowledgement" It is difficult to adequately describe these labels, It is used to prepay postage so I should think "stamp" [perf1]? I'll keep an eye out for you in our Church in-box, and send you one if they appear. I'll post any response I get from Australia Post. Gibbons Stamp Monthly address these "Across Town" labels in their March 1999 issue a *.pdf is worth viewing here.... http://tiny.cc/S9C6p HTH rodney "Tony Vella" wrote in message ... Hi Rodney.

Pierre, Tony, Hi Guys, My father was a "tool and die maker" for Westlands aircraft in Somerset, UK, so the vernacular is a common one for me Fairly easy to understand if you consider a "cookie cutter" Usually the term is referred to in tandem, as a "Punch and Die" The punch (in our example) comes down on the (sandwiched stamp paper and backing sheet) it cuts the paper, leaving the backing paper untouched, hence when you peel the stamp from the backing it leaves the serrated edged selvage paper behind (in normal peel and stick issues). In our case here the punch is design as an oval cutter to give the dimensions of the label, and slit pins to puncture the paper in the design I roughly drew. These same "slits" are evidenced on the Spanish Postal Labels in a half moon shape ...C Hope this goes some way to explanation. I consider all "peel and stick" stamps to be "die cut", I find it a more sophisticated designation, some refer to them as "kiss cut" as you may imagine, with the very low tolerances required. rodney ..

Sorry Pierre, my camera is with my wife and son, probably snapping pics of the family, or a stupa as we speak. (or taking pictures of silly faces from my son, he's at that age you know ;-) Here is a scan at 600 dpi untouched, you can see the slits http://cjoint.com/data/mqhF5QmJla.htm or a computer drawn slit example http://cjoint.com/data/mqhIJE3UiS.htm download and toggle between the two perhaps.

Pierre,
there is "die cut" and "kiss die cut", the stickers on backing paper had been "kissed die cut" or "kiss died cut" or "kiss die cut" groetjes, Rein Op Wed, 16 Dec 2009 04:56:21 +0100 schreef Pierre COURTIADE : Without asking permission to Rodney (I do apologize for that !)
