POSTAL CARDS: 1905 Provisional Issue 1d deep blue with Admonition "Available only for the Commonwealth..." handstamped 'ALSO AVAILABLE FOR UNITED KINGDOM WITHOUT EXTRA POSTAGE.' in violet PC12, a couple of very minor blemishes, unused. [These provisional cards were produced in very small numbers: Brian Pope estimates that 240 each of the ½d & 1d were produced & a mere 50 of the 1d+1d Reply Card. Most examples seen of any of these rare cards are defective. Margaret Hamilton's examples of the ½d (uprated) and 1d unused (as here) & 1d used, sold at our auction of 30.3.1999 for $6875, $7150 & $7975 respectively. Her unused 1d+1d sold at the same auction for $8250. They were all acquired by the same buyer who, it is believed, intends to donate his collection to an institution]
