On this site, I will post all my other miscellaneous items which I have collected over the years. I can't say there are many but to some these are considered as junks or garbage but to me, it's a collectible. Some of these came from the family or through inheritance and that is why I am keeping them. Whilst my heading for this site is Australia Postal and Numismatic covers, I have stopped collecting them as to me, it is not that attractive to collect anymore. I hope you like them as much as I do.

If you see any blank spaces on this site, please remove the "http://" or "https://" on your URL and hit enter again. Thanks

Australia Post 200 Years $1 Part ll

Australia Post 200 Years $1 coin, Part ll
Like red sentinels, posting boxes have stood guard on the streets of cities and towns in Australia for more than 150 years. In the nineteenth century, cast-iron posting boxes were generally manufactured at local foundries, although some models were imported from England. They were designed in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Typically, they were cylindrical, featured a decorative frieze and were topped by a device such as a crown.
