In the first instance, Lots 2001 to 2005 will be offered individually on aprovisional basis. Clients may bid on one or more of them. The hammer prices (or, in the case of any of them that are unsold, the reserveprices) for the five lots will then be totalled, and the five proofs - the complete set of KGV embossings - re-offered as one lot, at one biddingstep above the provisional total. If they sell as one lot, the provisional results for the five lots will be voided. If they fail to sell as one lot, theprovisional results will be confirmed.

Ewen's Stamp Weekly of 27/5/1911 stated "The postcard was issued 7.4.1911but is not yet in general use, as old [States] stock is being used up."

John Sinfield notes that JB Cooke printed 13,440 reply cards by a print & turn method that resulted in 50% of theprinting having the unsurfaced face & 50% having the surfaced face. Only 7200 cards were distributed, all of them toWestern Australia. The balance were retained in stock in Melbourne.

Only two used examples [and none unused] are recorded".

An extremely difficult "set" to assemble. [As noted in the ACSC , the differences between thetwo sub-types of the various portraits generally relate to the size of the portrait or the size and/or typeface of thephotographer's imprint.

[There was no official date of issue. The first distributionwas on 17/5/1911, to Victoria & Western Australia. Supplies were sent soon after to the other States. The ACSCstates that the initial printing from an 8-on plate was not issued. This is an error. Recent research shows that printingfrom the 32-on plate commenced only on 17/6/1911.

[While it is well known that reply cards were separated &re-issued as single cards, it has generally been unknown that normal cards were also re-issued. The Fullface PostalCards were unpopular and they were withdrawn as soon as the 1d Kangaroo issue was available. In February 1917,in response to a critical shortage of Postal Cards, the old stock was re-issued to each State, on a needs basis.Examples of usage in 1917 are rare]

We could find no reference to a "Saltan" POW Camp. This may have been a mis-rendering of "Sagan", which was inwestern Poland. "Konstanse" or Konstanz is in the far south of Germany, on the Swiss border.

On 1/10/1959, the postcard rate was raised to 5d, the same as the letter rate. At the same time, the concessionalrate for printed matter was abolished. The cost saving associated with sending Postal Cards was therefore lost,causing usage of STO issues to decline even further.

The only later issue we have recorded is the 1942 KGVI Oval 2d green, whichwas NOT an 'OS' Die. So, we have a 12 years gap from which no cards, other than this one, are recorded.

In October 1920, all post offices were advised that in future wrappers were to be used for posting only newspapers.Henceforth, all wrappers were required to bear the inscription 'NEWSPAPER ONLY'. In most cases this washand-written (or ignored!) but at least five handstamps were used. These handstamped wrappers are considered tojustify separate listings as provisional issues. It is indicative of their scarcity that, at present, only 7 of the 15 possiblecombinations of indicium & handstamp have been recorded, and only the Adelaide & Perth handstamps have beenpositively "tied". Because this class of wrappers have previously been largely unknown, we expect that the catalogueprices will prove to be conservative.
