Re: Where ? Tasmanian Churches
re St Georges Church - During a short troll through the State Archive website I managed to find these images. The first image of St Georges Church of England at Sorell dated 1900 looks like a match - three windows down the side, similar cross on front, position and type of trees, etc BUT........ ht...

Re: 1880 - 13/6d Beer Duties - Colour Trials or "Fantasies"
A lot now rests I feel, with a comparison of the paper used for these 13/6d Beer Duties with the plate proofs
and other issues. I should have the "items in question" in my possession for a closer look in a day or two.

Re: 1880 - 13/6d Beer Duties - Colour Trials or "Fantasies"
BUT ..... if the 13/6d Beer Duties were just reprints of "fantasies", why produce them in at least five different colours closely matching those "as issued"? The reprints of the Bradbury Wilkinson beer duties in negative (probably from the 1930s) were produced only in one colour I believe ..... if t...

Re: 1/- green Numeral Craig 7.81 - A New Early Date?
I did refer to your FREE Online catalog Dave, but to the best of my knowledge not all of the first issue have been seen used with 1904 dates. Please regard my posting as a confirmation of a new early date of use for Craig 7.81. I was surprised to find it as I have seen numerous examples of the 1/- ...

1/- green Numeral Craig 7.81 - A New Early Date?
I was recently scanning some Court of Requests/General Sessions documents with revenues thereupon for my next auction and noted a 1/- green Numeral Stamp Duty in among the St George & Dragons and Platypus issues. Curiosity lead me to Bill Craig's " Handbook of Tasmanian Revenue Stamps " and found h...

Re: 1880 - 13/6d Beer Duties - Colour Trials or "Fantasies"
Thanks to Dave for images of plate proofs made of the various 1880 denominations in the colours as issued, I have been able to prepare this comparison between three of the proofs and three of the 13/6d "fantasies"/trials/reprints/whatever. It appears to me that the colours match very well consideri...

Re: 1880 - 13/6d Beer Duties - Colour Trials or "Fantasies"
The 13/6d Beer Duties are currently stuck down on ancient album page remnants and the paper on which the stamps were printed on cannot be easily determined. Below is an "in situ" image .... the age of the paper and the handwriting suggest a pre-WWII date at least. http://tsauctions.com/bb/Tas%20Bee...
