Re: Furner's Hotel, Ulverstone Letter Card
Do we know the possible date of this card? It was after 1901 as it is marked 'Commonwealth Letter Card', but do we know when R W McGowan was proprietor? Would that information be in a Walch's Almanac?

Are the dimensions of 'No. 2' (minus selvedge) the same as the one that I illustrated?

Re: Platypus Reprint with dropped R
Amazing what this discussion forum gets you to do. I have had a full sheet of 6d platypus reprints for some years now, but have never really looked it over. Lo and behold, there is the 'Dropped 'R'' in row 1, position 5, and it does not recur in any position. Thanks for the 'Heads up' Dave!

Tasmanian Private Lettercards
I have recently set about writing up the handful of Tasmania Private Lettercards that I own. They come in two basic types but with variety within the types. All have an address panel on the front and a picture on the back when folded. The first type was produced by Walch & Son, and it is referred to...

With due respect to Colin, I think he has omitted one potential source of confusion when dealing with HFA markings. I have a number of covers sent from Australia to the USA which have been inscribed HFA in manuscript. All were to the same destination, and I eventually worked out that the manuscript ...
