Postally used frama labels
These imperforate labels were issued as an experiment by the Post Office.
From 1 May 1984 machines were installed at post offices in Cambridge, London, Shirley (Southampton) and Windsor
to provide an after-hours sales service to the public. The machines printed and dispensed the labels
according to the coins inserted and the buttons operated by the customer.
Values were initially available in ½p. steps to 16p. and in addition the labels were sold at philatelic counters
in two packs containing either 3 values (3½, 12½, 16p.) or 32 values (½p. to 16p.).
From 28 August 1984 the machines were adjusted to provide values up to 17p. After December 1984 labels including ½p. values were
withdrawn. The machines were taken out of service on 30 April 1984.
Catalogue value is quite low, but I can't find any - please help me! Even if you have only one it will make me happy. I am interested in all I can get - also duplicates and any values !!!
It is important that they have been cancelled within the period they were in use (from 1984 until may 1985). I am not interested in First day cancels - only genuine postally used labels.
I am also extremely interested in postally used covers.
