Not knowing or having any reference books on Sydney N.S.W postmarks, I’m trying to establish a date span for the usage of the postmark below. As can be seen the actual date is unreadable. These Papuan New Guinea stamps were issued 29th.Jan 1957.
Any help would be appreciated.

I would very much like to acquire that cover. cheers, Mike ]]> c1af95a9adc9efe9f338d50fc1a14afc Sid posted a new activity comment http://papuanphilatelicsociety.com/activity-2/p/356/#acomment-357 Mon, 09 Oct 2017 09:51:16 +1000 Mike, So sorry for the late reply – my wife has some serious medical conditions so have been running around looking after her. Do you have any PNG covers with the 1991-93 Bird of Paradise issues, we could do an exchange of some sort.
Once again sorry for late reply,

We know the value of his item but both of us are stumped as far as a fair value for the BNG wax postal bag seals as shown below. One is of Woodlarks and the other Baniara. Any help with valuation would be greatly appreciated.
