1913 1d Red Kangaroo cancelled-to-order with 'MELBOURNE/9/VICTORIA' cds dated 9JL14, folded and fine. The Kangaroo wrappers were not sent to the U.P.U., and the purpose of this CTO wrapper is uncertain, very scarce and unlisted by BW  | ||

1914 ½d Stamped-to-Order: Green Kangaroo used to uprate Tasmanian ½d Green embossed wrapper, cut-out (53 x 37mm) cancelled Hobart cds, 22JY14, almost certainly used by either the Hobart 'Mercury' or 'The Tasmanian Mail'.
