 POSTMARKS: Press Bureau for Royal Visit 'RELIEF/6MR54/No 28' cds three fine strikes on Rex Allison cover, one tying provisional R
label with 'PRESS BUREAU/ROYAL VISIT/MELBOURNE' cachet in violet. Rare. Situated at Kelvin Hall, 55 Collins Place. PO 22.2.1954; closed 9.3.1954. Similar covers sold at our auctions of 4.3.2006 and 29.3.2008 for $414 (Sale 120 Lot 827) and $632 (Sale

 POSTMARKS: Travelling Post Office Number 1 Type 1 (Large Vertical Oval) 'UP/TRAVELLING/POST OFFICE/ A4AU65/VICTORIA/MG1' very fine
strike tying QV Laureates 4d to cover to Melbourne (very fine backstamp), very fine 'MORE TO PAY'-in-oval handstamp with "1/-" inserted but amended to "6d". Ex Charles Lathrop Pack, Roy Holland - sold for £720 - and Les Molnar: sold for $1830 (Sale
220 Lot 311).
An extremely important item, being the earliest recorded TPO cover, the only recorded cover showing the 6d charge for late fee on TPO letters unpaid & taxed, and one of only three covers with the datestamp cancelling the stamp. Rated RRRRR as a
cancellation on cover. Illustrated by Molnar & Waugh at page 4 where they state: "... mail that was handed directly to mail guards was subject to an additional late fee ... the bulk of the uncancelled mail ... came from designated free-standing post
boxes ... at the train stations. These required no late fee ..." The late fee seems to have been reduced to 4d by January 1866 - see Lot 887 - but it was some time before this nonsensical situation was resolved by the late fee being revoked. This
cover indicates that the postage due was the deficient fee only, and not double the deficiency. (Image1) (Image2)

Illustrated by Molnar & Waugh at page 58. This is also probably the earliest recorded TPO cover with payment of the late fee reduced to 4d. Ex Roy Holland (in a mixed lot) and Les Molnar: sold for $700 (Sale 220 Lot 372). (Image1) (Image2)
