SYDNEY SPECIAL Postmark Seeking the fee for this service, anyone? For payment of the Special Delivery fee. A telegraph messenger would deliver the item from the delivery PO to the delivery address thus ensuring fast delivery. A Special posting box was located in the GPO's of major cities for that purpose.  |

Australian Stamp Dealers. Ephemera Glassine Orlo-Smith (Circa 1939) Mr. Orlo-Smith was the gentleman, that with a stock of 200,000 King George V Penny reds, managed to build us our "shades" reference.  When I first posted this scan (about 10 years ago) a colleague (to my chagrin, I have lost his name) built us a colour swatch to match Orlo-Smith's work This image now is around the internet.   |

Australian Stamp Hinges Here is a hinge packet from England. 60 years on and still holding those SG219 "Lt John Shortland R.N." stamps. (Though I'm not sure I should be proud of that statement.) For the first time, I read the back of the packet and was surprised to see that You are not supposed to detach a hinge before it is completely dry.   |

Glassine Orlo-Smith (Circa 1939) If I remember correctly, Orlo-Smith was very much involved with the early days of the Australian Commonwealth Specialists' Catalgue, but can't remember in what capacity. |

Nice contribution, thanks Frank. Quote:

Yes, fell for that one (once) I think every hinger has accidentally mounted one upside down, pull it off the page, and there it is, a massive "thin". Ugh. If one is hinging correctly, with just a dab of moisture, you can almost get away with it, but not recommended. |
