Here is a scan of my oldest GB item. A letter sheet (H&B LP-3 1844 issue) used on Feb 27, 1845. Postmarked at either "99" or "66" nu8mber cancel. Can't find my listing of which is which, but guessing a London marking. Anyway it is unfolded so you can see the whole layout.  |

It is indeed a London postmark, "66" used at the head office of the London District Post.
The letter was sent within London, written in Fenchurch Street and addressed to Bankside in Southwark. |

Here is the latest issue of postal stationery from HUNGARY. This Holiday Greeting Envelope came out this past year.(Front and Rear shown). It comes with a nice note card inside to write your wishes on and re-insert in the envelope. NICELY done! Nice addition to the collection. I try to get the latest items of postal stationery from around the world, as they are getting harder and harder to find! Enjoy!  |

Here is something new to me. An ARGENTINA OFFICIAL MAIL LETTER CARD! Do not know the exact issue date (maybe one of you do). but guessing late 90's early 2000's. Nice addition to the collection. This is a large item 127 x 243 mm. Item purchased on ebay and in the shipment from the UK, it got a little damage done to it. That is OK! It is a new addition! Enjoy.  |

Here is a newer postal card from BERMUDA. Don't know year of issue or catalog number as this is later than any catalog I have (H&G). It is nicely done however. Enjoy.  |

I'm surprised that a card of such (relatively) recent date has such a low catalogue number, given that Bermuda has been issuing postal cards since the 1880s. I guess they just didn't issue a lot of different postal cards during the KGV and KGVI eras. |

I just got my first Volapük postcard for 2019! It's an uprated postal card from Natal, mailed in 1893. It was sent by a Trappist monk in Mariannhill to a student at a military academy in Breda (Holland), who later published a dictionary and grammar (in Dutch) of Idiom Neutral. It has postmarks tracing its route from Pinetown (May 10) to Durban (May 11) to London (June 6) to Breda (June 7).   |

Good timing: I just picked up Hawaii UX1; erilaz just posted the later overprinted version above. I think the early Kingdom of Hawaii postal stationery is quite attractive -- I'd love to see some other examples posted.  |
