Following yesterdays most enjoyable first PPS Zoom meeting hosted by Richard, who did a great job, it became apparent that I am not as smart as I thought I was, and I now believe my wife when she calls me a deaf old f—t. However hopefully I will be able to rectify this.

Thankfully there were some Tech Savvy people on board, however maybe someone can help with the following:-

On our identification screens Tony was a bearded Julie, someone else displayed their prison number and I lost my surname. Is this to do with how we have registered with Zoom or is this done at the hosts end?

Lorraine at show and tell had her New Guinea huts, and apologise but I cannot recall who it was who had the N.W.P.I 4d’s. Both interesting topics, and both at one stage made reference to something on the right side of the shared screen – I was unable to  view these as they were obliterated by participants recognition screen thumbnails and I was unsure how to remove them, but allowing me to bring them back as required.

Steve did well to grab something from his PC whilst in the meeting and place it on the shared screen. If I attempted that I would still be trying to get back into the meeting, maybe someone could elaborate on this procedure.

All in all a great success, I enjoyed it – thank you ladies and gentlemen.

Mike I know it’s long after you posted but only just read your post. Is this cover of any interest — the wording is not the same.

The seals/wax impressions I have came from a person who lived on Woodlarks
post WWII. I never felt that these were from the 1900’s era as they appear
too new and the paper is not that old.

Kainnikanada kindly replied to my query as shown below:-
“I believe the two examples you’ve posted are identical to the
non-contemporaneous strikes provided me in 1981 by a former District
officer who was stationed in Papua New Guinea post WWII. He supplied me
with multiple strikes of the Woodlarks B.N.G. and Baniara P-N.G. seals in
sealing wax I supplied him.” One thing for sure Kainnikanada’s scans show
seals identical to mine.

Tony Griffin backs this all up. He states ” I understand that some BNG
mailbag seal implements were found in a post office safe and that gave rise
to the contemporaneous usage seen on Sid’s examples.”

Lee states that “Modern impressions are in deep red/black wax” as these.
So have we established that these are copies of the original seals that
were used. Not forgeries or fakes. Shame as I collect forgeries.
.
But back to my original question, Value? However it appears that Pheonix feel they are worth something:-
.
Pheonix Lot 1227:Tamata: ‘POST OFFICE/CROWN/TAMATA’ impression in deep red
wax, some minor cracking & small segment missing at right. Ex John
Nicholson who believed the seal was discovered in a safe at Abau Distict
Office around 1955. Buy it now $120.

Many thanks to all who helped.
