Early Dates - St George & Dragon issue

#1 Post by Revenuer » Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:34 am

Looking to record early dates on Tasmanian Revenues.

To start the ball rolling i have this 2/6d Dragon dated 16/11/1863. The issue date was 1.11.1863.

I do have a revenue web site with some Tasmania content: http://www.ozrevenues.com

A lot from the November Tasmanian Stamp Auctions has yielded an EKD for the 2mm high REVENUE overprint on the 2/6d Dragon.

The 5th August 1903.

Can others please have a look at stock and see if this truly is an EKD for the overprint.

Ross tells me the documents came from down Port Arthur way and there were no more. I presume from a garage sale or market stall as all were priced separate on the reverse $10.00-$12.00 each....Dave

The document came from a retired dealer's stock purchased by the vendor in Devonport (Tas NW Coast) during the late 1980s. I have never
seen documents from the court at Premaydena before (and probably unlikely to do so again). As Dave mentions, there's no more to come!

P.S. Dave, can we have a pitcha please?

The numbering on the adhesive may be confusing if it was soaked off the document. All the dragon documents from this auction lot has the same 2.7.L / 1903 on.

Executed 5th August 1903. EKD

Just noticed this 2/6d pair with 30 NOV 63 pen cancel offered on eBay ... not not the earliest known of
course (see above) but still worth recording I think.
