Envelopes
 
APS1) 2d KGV violet star embossed cover commercially used to London UK. Rare and Probably Unique Vic cds. ACSC EP12. The Postal Stationery Catalogue page 196 states 'the whole printing was cancelled-to-order with a Melbourne cds numbered 23 and dated 3 July 1916. The quantity required for UPU distribution was 378.' And it also points out that 'a single printing of 390 envelopes was delivered into stock on 29 June 1916 for purposes of distribution to UPU members.' So that leaves 12 envelopes unaccounted. This has to be one of those 12 covers. So, this is the only known postal use of this envelope. Did an office person just grab one from stock as it covered the postal rate of 1.5d to the UK ( plus late fee cost?) This is not CTO! Cancelled with Spencer St. Melbourne Late Fee cds of July 6 1916, 3 days later than the cto stock. The catalogue value for a CTO used is $300. A Printed to Private Order version of this envelope does exist - see ACSC Postal Stationery Catalogue page 268.  Used price is $500. Supplied with normal for comparison. Price for this rarity $1650

Registration Envelopes
 
DB336) 4d Orange KGV ACSC RE8, uprated to 5.5d to cover with 1.5d Red Brown, being the new rate of 5d from October 1920 plus the Halfpenny war tax. The 5d RE10 envelope was introduced in the same month, and so this is quite late usage. Cancelled by Melbourne registered cds of 18OCT20 and with Bulk Reg'n. Melb. red registration label No. 6142. Addressed to The Police Station, Prahran and believed to have contained 10/- and 20/- money orders, numbers of which are recorded on the face upon receipt on 19.10.20, presumably to pay a fine. Received cds of Windsor on reverse of 19OC20. Scarce and unusual. Price $149
 
DB334) 5d Chestnut KGV ACSC RE13, with early Registration Label. Nice Used example with Yass, NSW cds of 14MR23 and red NSW reg. label No. 63. Clearly the date slug at Yass was wrong since it also bears a Registered cds of Murrumbateman of 14MY23 both front and reverse and a Registered Sydney cds on front of the next day. Fascinating!
