12 September 1908
Postcard "Nelles Hébrides. Paysage" (Landscape) with ANHCo 2d stamp cancelled 1902.
The stamp is one of the hundreds (thousands?) which were cancelled on sheets in later years
and is affixed at the edge of the card so it wouldn't be obvious that a part of the cancel is missing.

26 September 1908
Postcard "Nelles Hébrides. 47 Retour de la
Pêche" (Back from fishing) with ANHCo 2d stamp cancelled 1902. Not only is
2d the wrong rate for a postcard and the year 1902 doesn't fit into the history
but the stamp is from the sheets which were favour-cancelled - see the multiple
cancels! (Goron coll.)
16 November 1911
ANHCo stamp (genuine) on a cover to Noumea (genuine & older than 1911 I think) with a forged cancel (Alavoine)! ("Mele" coll.)
date unknown
1d and 2d ANHCo stamp (genuine) on a postcard, not travelled. The date on the cancel could be 3 SEP 02 but is very uncertain.
Most likely a "souvenir" card. (coll. Petit)
1956
Concoction of an ANHCo cover in the 1950s. (unknown coll.)
19 January 1957
Concoction of an ANHCo cover in the 1950s. The ANHCo stamps are a nice example for a misperforation anyway! ("SeSi" coll.)
Cronin 1958
One of the Cronin letters with old stamps. I think he drank a pot of Kava with the postmaster....
After 1956 and 1957, M A.Cronin is back on 1958 with a cover from LAMAP to TORONTO.
The ANHCO locals and the first French definitive issue of 1911 tied by PM27 8 OCT 58
the first day of the LAMAP postal agency. No problem with the postmaster !
Backstamped SANTO 22 OC 58 (type PM20) .

actual Australian stamp and a 2d ANHCo stamp. Tss.... tss.... Sheryll!! (Klinger coll.)
The "22 AOUT 07" forged cancel. This cancel exists only with this date. It tries to replicate the French PM2 cancel but is easy to differ from the real one as the characters are much too big.

A bogus Pt. Sandwich cancel. We don't see Port Sandwich forgeries very often, maybe because it is harder to fake than the PM2.
