Royal Guides
This maxicard depicts Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II) as a Guide and Princess Margaret a Brownie in 1937. Queen Mother was also involved in the movement as the patron.

Miss by a whisker...?
I have encountered various problems when dealing with cancellations in maximaphily; incomplete - with last one or two lines missing; unclear - due to over-diluted ink; smeared -as the surface of postcard is too glossy, etc.
Take a look at this maxicard. The cancellation was done by the postal staff - beautiful, without any of the problems mentioned. But sad to say : looks like it just misses the teeth of the stamp by a whisker!
Anyway, I am still hopeful that someone will confirm - the postcode touches "a tooth".

King's Special Cigar
"Smoking Kills!" I better include a health warning here with this vintage cigar ad card, depicting King Edward VII who enjoyed smoking cigars and cigarettes. As we can see from most of the cigar advertisements, past or present, cigar smoking undoubtedly is a symbol more associated with affluence and success than health hazards.

Salute!
I salute the postal staff who've postmarked this maxicard for me! Why? Look at the cancellation - it JUST touches the perforations of the stamp! Frankly, with my shivering hand, I can never realize a maxicard with such a "clean" stamp myself.

Australian Commonwealth Coinage 1910-2010
This stamp shows the profile of King Edward VII on the obverse of the coin, designed by George William de Saules. King Edward VII died just two months after the first shipment of florins and shillings reached Australia. His image was replaced by that of his successor, George V, on the 1911 coins.
