Hi,

A 1965 10d Christmas aerogramme from Australia with a 1 cent QEII stamp added to make the 9 cents rate:



The aerogramme was mailed 14 June 1966 from Australia to the United States.

The changeover to dollars and cents from pounds and pence occurred on 14 February 1966. Mixed pence and cents covers and postal stationery were permitted for two years, until 14 February 1968.

GB private stationery (STO) 6 Pence + 8d in stamps paying quadruple postage and Continental Night Mail fee= 10d postage + 4d CNM fee.

Awesome thread.

The answer to the Subject line is "Heck yes, very interested".

I have to use the Search function more often around here.

This Australian aerogramme was uprated from 9 cents to 10 cents:




Note that the cancel is a Melbourne dumb cancel that was used when a postal item was not properly cancelled.

Hi,

This Australian 10d aerogramme was mailed 24 May 1966 after February 14 (Decimal Day) and was deliverd without being taxed:



If memory serves, 10d equaled 8 cents. A 1 cent stamp was needed to pay for the 9 cents serogramme rate.

Best wishes,

I just posted a new thread on UPU Postcards https://goscf.com/t/45740 in the Worldwide BOB forum. That might have been more appropriate here, but I came across this too late. Fascinating topic and I will definitely read through the entire thread as time allows.

In the meantime I have an oddball item -- a UPU postcard from Equador with some very peculiar writing on it. When I first bought this I thought a child might have been scribbling. Now I'm not so sure. Can anyone decipher this?

GregAlex: hum, I would go with the first guess. I do (#1) not see a cancel marking, and (#2) do not see anything that resembles an address that looks Spanish. (#3) There are an over amount of "X"'s on this card (if coded it would seem the address should have been readable (in Spanish) if they had intended to mail it.
Don't know, hopefully someone will prove me wrong. Let's see.

Here is a postal stationery cover from Hanover

I finished going through this entire thread this morning -- great stuff. If this forum had a "like" button I would have been clicking it every other post! I especially like the Shanghai local post card. I'm a sucker for ornate 19th century postal cards, especially those printed by bank note companies. Here's a nice one from Honduras by Hamilton Bank Note, put out around 1892 for the 400th anniversary of the landing of Columbus.

I believe your assumption that a child got hold of this is quite on point.

As for your Honduras Postal Card above - Nice.
