Ok, so while I have admitted on another thread here recently that I do not collect New Zealand (Canada and the USA are my main focuses) I couldn't resist picking this up today at an antique market in Kingston Ont. it is a postage paid registered official cover from the Treasury in New Zealand. The envelope originally contained a letter from the treasury and some coins in a plastic case, but I was only interested in the cover, so was able to convince the dealer (who had a hard time understanding why I'd be interested in just the envelope) to sell it to me, sans contents, for a couple of bucks.
Aside from the Lyndhurst Ont. receivers cancel on the back, there are two other cancels which are indecipherable except for the year 1969.
The $12 price rage is really stuck on the address label, so I well, very delicately, try to remove it with a q-tip and a bit of water at a later date.
Very heavy laid paper envelope. Kind of neat I thought.
