on-cover) tied by 'REGISTERED/SYDNEY NSW' cds, red & black/white R label, to Victoria, the over-folded section with any backstamps removed, minor blemishes but not folded. NB: the notion that any denominations above the 5d are worth less than a 5d

denominations above the 5d (Cat $1000-$1200 on-cover) are worth less than a 5d franking is nonsensical. We estimate the ratio of First Wmk 5d to 9d frankings is about 250:1. [Radonitz is today Radonice, in Czechia] (Image1) (Image2)

(under-catalogued at $1250 on-cover with other stamps) tied by 'REGISTERED/ 2 /MELBOURNE' cds, no transit or arrival markings indicating it was carried in a closed bag, minor blemishes. We estimate the ratio of relatively common 5d frankings (Cat
$1000-$1200) to First Wmk 1/- frankings is about 250:1. The rate was Empire letter 1d per ½oz x13 + 3d registration. The 13x rate might appear implausible but the addressee was a postal stationery collector & the envelope may have contained a bundle
of such items. (Image1)
