very fine 'GPO/MY2/71/ADELAIDE' cds & Melbourne arrival b/s of three days later, very minor blemishes. A very scarce usage: fewer than 10 covers have been recorded with the 3d on 4d used for its originally-intended purpose of paying the
inter-colonial shipletter rate. Ex Wise (1950) and Bernhard Forster.
As noted in the docketing within, the sender was "JCC Vielhaack/Adelaide". The family name is found among immigrants from Germany in the 1850s. Harry Lower's similar 1873 cover sold for $1515.
