I have obtained a number of New Zealand Christmas covers that appear to be missing an illustration,and I cannot find any reference to them. Can anyone enlighten me?

Robin,
just some thoughts......
1. It was produced in that fashion?
2. Maybe a silk cachet that has been dislodged ?

Nice postmark, would that be RANGITIKEI STATION (RPO) perhaps?

I have 75 New Zealand First Day Covers (FDC) and I do not see one, officially printed, without some sort of design.

Hi Rod,
it is Rangitikei Street in Palmerston.
It is just very odd to have the same type of writing on 1960-61-62 and 63 Christmas FDC all with the same postmark.
Must be a an error I think?

Aha, thanks.

That is confusing to me. Can you expand?
So you have 4 Christmas FDC, Rangatikei Pmks, all of the same date?
or each dated correctly?

Often collectors in those days, had standing orders for FDC, a collector in Palmerston perhaps.

They may be "rare" in an existence sense, but I would doubt they would carry any premium of value. FDC are a tough discipline.

New Zealand FDCs of that era may not necessarily have had illustrations on them. See this 1962 Christmas FDC on ebay:

The cover in question was issued without an illustration and was created by Keith Collinson of Pamlmerston North. It is detailed in Stephen Jones's publication "Illustrated FDCs of New Zealand pt"" and given the identification code of X60.1E
