Bristol Postage Dues - part 3

Yet more .... starting with a postcard that had an embossed design so was not valid as a postcard and was charged at the domestic Letter Rate with 1d postage due.

.... two postcards from the USA franked at the domestic rate so also 1d postage due on each.
.... a couple of unfranked postcards, one from 1908 when the rate was ½d, and one from 1920 when it was 1d.

This postcard sent in 1909 had a packet of shamrock seed attached to the front so was invalid and charged at the Letter Rate.

Outgoing postcards had hexagonal "T" tax marks with the value indicating the deficiency in gold centimes.  They were both only bearing the domestic rate stamps.

Back going the other way, this card from the USA only had the domestic postcard postage.
