 PUNCTURED 'OS': 1911-15 Monocolours Watermark Sideways (Crown to Left of 'A' as seen from the reverse) 6d bright chestnut as SG O43
but on Thin Paper, lightly mounted, minor toning on a couple of perf tips at right. With a Thick Paper 6d brown for comparison. [Rosenblum states at p29 regarding printings on Thin Paper that "Again, a very few sheets were issued, O.S. only, about
1918. They are probably accounted for in exactly the same way as the 2½d and are equally rare" (our emphasis); he also mentions that the Thin Paper being whiter resulted in "greater clarity of the inks" which in turn produced distinctive shades]

 1914 (Feb 3) entire linen parcel tag to "Baker & Rouse/Kodak Ltd/Sydney" with rare franking of Monocolours 1d block of 6 tied to the
reverse by Port Moresby cds, folded between the second & third columns. The only pre-WWII parcel tag we have seen from Papua. Presumably the package contained photographic film. Interestingly, the minimum parcel rate was 8d so it was not sent as a
parcel. If sent as "Merchandise", the rate was 1d per 2oz x6 for a package weighing up to 12oz. If sent as "Printed Matter", the rate was ½d per 2oz x12 for a package weighing up to 24oz. [From April 1905, Baker & Rouse were exclusive agents for
Eastman Kodak in Australia. In 1908, they merged with Kodak's local arm to form Kodak (Australasia) Pty Ltd]
