 1951 (circa) parcel piece with rare franking of Robes Thin Paper 10/- (very well-centred; Cat $3000 on-cover; + 2d 6d & 1/-) tied
by poor Sydney cds, to Cooma with 'EXPRESS' label, the address label a bit stained. Sold at our auction of 30.11.2019 for $2830 [Sale 239 Lot 477]. The rate is problematic: from 9.7.1951, the highest parcel rate within Australia was 11/8d (as here)
up to 11lb; but this is an intrastate item, for which the maximum parcel rate was only 4/8d + the Express fee of 9d up to 4lb + 3d for each additional pound (up to 11lb only) x7 = only 86d or 7/2d. Perhaps it was sent at the prevailing letter rate,
but why? Solutions are invited. (Image1)
