When it comes to properly obliterating a stamp, some of these modern postal administrations could take lessons from the Indian State of Jhalawar. I had to call in the heavy guns to work out where the stamp under this cancel came from:  (It's Jhalawar SG 2) And just to prove it wasn't a fluke, they did it again ... and again  |

Ballina wouldn't be that common.
There's a thoroughbred track there KG5 I would suspect reasonable postal traffic. Share your opinion on the nice strike, "office server" that's a new one for me. |

I did not know about the race track Rod! It has been 35 years since I have been to Ballina. The small seaside peaceful fishing village is what I remember. Yes it is probably near to being a city now. But a nice postmark. |

KGV, that "Strawberry Hills" cancel is very similar to what Canada Post uses on handstamped mail, as per this Langley Cross(ing) cancel. I miss they days of the circular datestamps.  |

Absolutely on the money. Here's the cover, addressed to Falkirk, from, I believe, Edinburgh  |

I think I'll have to start a thread on this entire. I've had it for years, and never got around to transcribing it. The correspondence relates to a property dispute concerning a Lord, no less. A bit more research to do! |
