The Convey Congratulations ... slogan was used in Adelaide from 22 August 1935 to 10 July 1941.

The 6 identified dies used at Adelaide with this slogan:

have circular date stamps with no box number; or
have box date stamps with either of the recorded numbers 2 or 4.

Within each of the broad types of dies, there are various formats incorporating different letter positions.

The date stamp usually had TIME then DAY/MONTH then YEAR.
