Western Australia 1893 1d GB Postal Card sent from London to Fremantle
1885-93 Watermark Crown CA 1/2d Green Block of 4 and single affixed to 1893 1d GB Postal Card sent from London to Fremantle by H.A. Slade with a short note requesting the recipient send it back to him with additional two 1/2d stamps telling him if the recent packet was received. The card was cancelled with London Duplex and backstamps of TPO 'AU 11/93', Albany transit 'Aug 12/93', and Fremantle 'AUG 12/93'. The reply of 1893 from L. Sterling said that because this was not a current Australian postal card, he affixed five 1/2d Green (overpaying the postcard rate by 1d) which he hoped was acceptable. The post card was re-used by placing stamps over the original address and re-addressing the post card to the original sender. Stamps are cancelled by barred circle 'F' and 'FREMANTLE/4/AU 18/1893/=WESTERN AUSTRALIA' duplex along with a strike of Great Southern Railway 22mm 'TRAVELLING-POST-OFFICE' CDS. A remarkable two-way TPO item.
