New Zealand Stamps : Sundry

First frame of New Zealand on modified Steiner pages.

Lovely Stuff Billsey,
Thanks for posting.

Yeah, I haven't really *worked* on N Z for quite a while, but I did modify the Steiner pages enough for these. My KGV looks really nice, only missing a couple and the SSFs are also pretty good, only need the usual suspects for perf and paper varieties. I really ought to get back to the country and clean it up some. Perhaps after my revamp of Argentina, the last few years of Venezuela, Poland, Spain and Finland... :)

Very nice group of Chalon heads!

Pretty decent engraving on the postal reply coupon. I don't normally think of Harrison & Sons as a printer known for line engraving.

SCF is terribly slow, may be my end Telstra has been down
Taking me minutes to get a post thru.
or none at all

It's not on your end. I can load pages just fine, but posting is really slow. Another reason to always create your posts in Notepad before pasting them into the reply box.

EDIT TO ADD: It tool 85.6 seconds to post this reply. Maybe it will clear-up before the Admins get up in the morning.

Here is a modern stamp (SG #747) indicating fee paid on a check from Chapel Hill, NC, U.S.A. Check was written on July 16, 1960.

And, here is another one for the thread. This is an old piece of postal stationery, a newspaper band. The band is approximately 263mm x 90mm, or 10.375 in. x 3.5 in. in size. The iPhone pic shows the large 3-line watermark with the "star-crown-star" at top.

That's a pretty thing. And can you imagine a present-day Post Office functionary who'd have the grammatical skills to write "If this rule be infringed ..."?

This colorized picture postcard shows an old view of Queen Street in Auckland. Imprint on back of card says, "Muir and Moodie Protected Series, Auckland N. Z. Printed in Saxony."

Card is franked with 1 d Dominion stamp (SG #405) postmarked Matauri Bay, NZ, July 10, 1912. Matauri Bay is on the northern finger of North Island, 30 km north of Kerikeri. It was sent to G. Milliioz, Administrative Officer of the Military Hospital of Bourges, Dept. of Cher, France.
