John, it probably is something new. It seems bizarre enough that this exists with no PR, but it does.

Re: NEED ASSISTANCE WITH IDENTIFYING POSTMARKS? - ASK HERE !
It is indeed Burnie Type 1(dot stops) (ii). It's quite a hard cancels to find. I cannot really put my finger on what it was used for. It's mainly seen on normal postage rate stamps, but it just really quite rare.

Re: POST 1912 MANUSCRIPT CANCELLATIONS - POST YOUR IMAGES HERE
First one I cannot decipher. The manuscript is spread over two stamps, so only half of it is there. dates a "5" for 1915. Second one could be anything. No guarantee it's Tasmanian. I will say the CDS looked like "An". Can't be a coincidence the Mss looks to show an "An" as well. Third one is more in...

Re: EARLY MANUSCRIPT CANCELLATIONS - POST IMAGES/ANY QUESTIONS??
Have had a good look at this and I am 99.5% sure it's simply a name, probably off a receipt. IT could be the name of a postmaster, making it postal. Almost 100% sure it's not a P.O name.

Re: DOUBLE RING VIOLET POSTMARK?
I wish I could offer some insight but I could only be "Post Office" and either Campania or Campbell Town if Tasmanian. The balance of probability is that it's a NSW cancel, which as a state used these rubber CDS quite extensively. It's worth keeping aside.

Milabena
Milabena is a postmark that has been long speculated about. Registration labels, actual printed labels, are known(3), one with a partial postmark. I wonder if the partial postmark is actually this? milabena postmark.jpg The late John Avery spoke to the postmaster's son back in the day, who indicated...

Re: Unknown Cancel on ½d Sideface
Jerry, sorry to be a bit vague, but I have seen this cancel before. It's not Tasmanian, or Australian for that matter. It may well be a U.K cancels. I just cannot think where I have seen it before, sorry.

1858 6d dull lilac and 1/- Vermillion
I was scanning Trove for postmark related info and came across an entry that stated "the new stamps have arrived". These would be the 6d and 1/-. Date was Tuesday 14th, which would indicate that the new stamps arrived Monday 13.1.1858. Improves the information in Gibbons which is just "January".

I would say 65 John. You can see the ball on the foot of the 5. Cannot be 29(which is a much rarer number in any case).

Re: Strange cancel
I would say it's been cancelled and then cancelled again, the second stamp being deemed not obliterated fully.
