Hello, Just found these while sorting and thought some readers might enjoy seeing them. Two have tiniest of tone spots but otherwise pretty much fresh as issued.

Listed in Seven Seas as the 1988 Definitive Series, E208 - E214.

Rather nostalgic images I think. Hope you enjoy seeing them. Anyone collect Prepaid Envelopes?

Michael

They are lovely! I used to live in a beautiful homestead in Bathurst NSW. It was called Littlebourne

That's not too far from where I live Eiger. I also lived near Elizabeth Farm which is near Parramatta.

Bathurst is Australia's oldest settlement west of the Blue Mountains. Parramatta is the oldest settlement after Sydney.

I have a few New South Wales prepaid envelopes (including registered envelopes) but I only collect used examples - much harder to get than unused.

I refer to them as PSE's Pre Stamped Envelopes.

I collect them, but only as mutilated stationery.
( I do not like throwing things out)

A bit grungy, but it tells me what were issued and when.
A sample

Note: My error, text should read "Leadbeater's Possum"

As we enjoyed Dorset when my wife and I were there a couple of years ago. A lovely part of the UK and a small world indeed

Eiger,
I lived a sneeze away from Dorset.

I am a Yeovil lad.
