The 1935 3d is quite hard to find i'd say, they minted only 40,000 or so. Your definately not the first to think a 35 6p is the one, gets us all at first.

I get a few of those lead mail tags around here. I happen to know where there is heaps of them. Long way for you to come to find some tho.
Quite addicted to lead items of late.

For sure, i will go and clean a few up for photo.
At one stage we were finding so many we were saying "oh, another of those lead tags" , as they ring like coins.

Lead postage tags.
They are about the size of a 5 cent piece. Some have markings on them like; BC AK or NZ.
