Here's a bunch of little covers I picked up last night. From Fiji and most Official use (OHMS). Not really old, 1977 mostly, some 1987.
But I thought the post marks were interesting. And I thought they were just kind of fun.












A couple for you etiquette fans.
Goes to show, you don't always need a stamp to be interesting.

Any thoughts on the abbreviations on some of these Official cancels.
I'm thinking:
On #1 - DA = Department of Agriculture
On #5 - Medical is obvious (and not an abbreviation, Department of Health?)
On #6 - AG = Attorney General
On #7 - GS = ?????
On #8 - DPW = Department of Public Works
