Here's a card that may provide more input. Nothing special ... ACSC P67 Postal Card, dated Feb 6, 1934 from Melbourne, Victoria. What is fun is the note on the back that describes the monthly meetings of the Junior Stamp Collectors Service and Society (JSCSS). To be held the second Saturday of each month (1934). "Your attendance is requested, please, for all meetings, with new Members or Visitors". The comment at the every end says, "Please keep <this card> for Reference and Display."

Does anyone know anything more about the JSCSS? Just wondering when it started, how long it lasted, or whether it is still going on. I wonder if a display was ever made?

These references to the society are from newspapers of the era:

Leo Thomas FitzGerald. I believe this post card was sent to this young gentleman (would have been 16 at the time). His younger brothers were born /lived in Barrow Street, Brunswick.

Great supporting documentation. I assume the club is no longer? That would be quite the run if it was still around.
