This postcard was manufactured by Harding & Billing. The trademark of Harding & Billing was an artist’s palette with “H&B” in the middle.
The postmark on this postcard is unclear; however, it appears to have been posted from New South Wales in 1906; although the place name on the postmark is incomplete (only the letter “S” is visible), it may be that it was posted from Sydney (although it may have been posted from another place, even from within Singleton, the same town of the address that it was being sent to).
Singleton = a town in New South Wales, situated on the banks of the Hunter River, located north-west of Newcastle and north of Wollombi
