SHOW MENURegistered Express Mail
Introduction
The items scanned represent what I have acquired over a 15 year period, just 30 examples dated between 1901 and 1967. The majority are Inland with just two on overseas mail.
Each scan is named by the date/s of posting.
Early examples are difficult to find and the display lacks examples from the period of mid‑1920s to early 1930s.
It has been of interest to pick out a special group from a collection and it is hoped other such displays will follow.
One point to take into account is the presence of philatelic covers, such as first day covers – just one example is shown in the display.
