Full clear postmark impressions - excellent condition.

Fine condition.

Some blemishes as per scan but rarely seen and quite exhibitable (this item actually came from a Gold Medal winning exhibit of postal stationery from Australian Territories !)
Flap faulty - small lebel on reverse with "1958 ... the Centenary of the Birth of the Red Cross Idea".
The flap has not been sealed to comply with postal requirements. Note Konedobu has slogan rather than "wavy line" m/cancel. Fine condition.
Excellent clean condition - hard to find used with genuine correspondence.
Fine condition - interesting letter about life in PNG at the time.
Flap has not been sealed to comply with postal requirements. Fine condition.

Fine addressed condition - contains PO pamphlet promoting issue.
Note Konedobu m/cancel has commemorative slogan cancel for the W.H.O. West Pacific Regional Committee Meeting. Flap has a tear but was not originally sealed o/wise condition is fine. Scarce franking for this rate, ditto the machine cancel!
Minor flap fault o/wise condition is fine. Don't overlook this one - local commercial covers from this period are surprisingly scarce (most stamps were removed and dropped in the "mission mixture" box at the local church!)
Excellent clean condition.
