A new addition to my collection. I have recently taken more of an interest to covers and have had some luck. Happy Hunting! Jon

If you live in Australia and you scan, does it always come out upside down?

If you open the image in a new tab it will appear right side up. And, I do like the cover.

I guess flipacoin did this especially for our Australian friends. After all, those are the ones that may know about this cover

to flipacover

Cheers

The cover bears the logo (WCS) or Wesley Cover Service and the address label is that of the cachetmaker, J.M. Gower.

I found this minor historical note pertaining to such covers:


Quote:
The founder of WCS was John Gower, who had an interesting history. Gower contracted polio in 1930 and was crippled from the waist down. This led him into a very active philatelic life. He began the "Kangaroo Correspondence and Exchange Club" in Adelaide in 1931.

John Gower opened the Post Office at Largs North, another Adelaide beach suburb on June 17, 1947. Therefore a vast number of earlier WCS FDC are cancelled at Largs North, starting with the September 1947 "Newcastle" trio.

Hi Jamesw

That is correct, and the sinks in the southern hemisphere empty in the opposite direction as well
