Census of RRR and RRRR circular date stamps on Tas Pictorial

[Ross Ewington]

After seeing Patrick's rather nice Type 1b Glazier's Bay above, I have been somewhat reluctant
to post this example from DE 7 00 but a census is a census!

Recently offered on eBay amongst a mixed lot which also included 2nd allocation 343 and 308 on 1d Pictorials.

NICHOLLS RIVULET · 21.JU.1___ · TASMANIA - Type 2a is rated RRR but unfortunately this example has been ENHANCED

[attachment=0]nicholls rivulet destroyed.jpg[/attachment]

Offered on eBay, correctly described and at a fair starting price of US$3.50 during October 2011

[Ross Ewington]

LADY' BAY · AP 2 13 · TASMANIA - rated RRRR to end of 1912. As a strike on an Australian stamp pre-dating this example
has not been reported, I think it is worth recording in the census. Interesting to note too that a little of the apostrophe
appears to have "re-emerged".

Gosh ...it's about 9 months since something "new" has been added to this topic. I don't
think this partial RIDGEWAY has been recorded before although it looks familiar to me.

Ross, thank you and other for recent up-dates. It seems Long Island may be slipping back to a lesser rating if the number of examples continues in this way.
I will be progressing the up-dating of the on-line census over the next few months (which is in the TPS members website)and hope to have a complete listing of examples know via this forum and other contributions.
The numbers of examples plus prices where known will make interesting reading.
Please keep adding any new examples !
Pete

Ross
Would be nice if the two 3d cancels of Mills Reef were a pair,would have been a stunning cancel.As per usual I think I find something a bit different only to have another turn up shortly after.Thats the fun of the hunt I suppose.Cheers

LADY BAY · 1 JA _3 · TASMANIA - a nice example with the 'month' added by pen

WARRENTINNA · -- -- 02 · TASMANIA - rated RRRR - very light but quite discernible

sl1004.jpg (382.77 KiB) Viewed 44249 times

...has this been recorded before? There are so very few examples of this 'blue chip' postmark known
so it would be interesting to know if it's a 'new discovery'!

[admin]

Ross, definitely not recorded in my census. In fact, Warrentinna is shaping up to be one of the rarest of the rare.
I'll download the image for use in my on-line census.
