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

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".

Ridgeway

Alonnah

Glen Fern

Nugent T2

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.

This rather nice ALONNAH with a 1912 date sold recently on eBay for AU$435.50

LONG ISLAND · JU 30 93(!!) · TASMANIA - rated RRR
This is the second example that I have seen with "93" instead of "03"

...and another!!

LONG ISLAND · NO 18 01 · TASMANIA - rated RRR

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 !

Mills Reef on 3d

MILLS REEF · __.SP.1909 · TASMANIA - partial strike of the Type 2a cds - rated RRR
GLENFERN · MR 16 02 · TASMANIA - a reasonably complete example - rated RRR
ALONNAH · 13.OC.1910 · TASMANIA - a very early example - rated RRRR
MURDUNNA · 30.DEC.10 · TASMANIA - rated (R)RRR ..... really 'just a RRR' (and falling)

and again....

LONG ISLAND · JA __ __ · TASMANIA - looks like the PM had just re-inked the datestamp pad

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
...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'!

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.

Pieman Bridge

SPRINGS · 17.FE.1913 · TASMANIA
LONG ISLAND · NO 18 01 · TASMANIA

N.B. this particular cancel had already been reported however it was still on an envelope clipping at that time!

Whilst looking for something else, I noticed this early 1913 SPRINGS on the front cover of an auction catalog (Torsten Weller - 2011)

SPRINGS · 10.FE.13 · TASMANIA

LONG ISLAND · JA 15 93 · TASMANIA - 'JA' in mss, '93' instead of '03'
A similar example cancelled on the same day has already been listed in this thread
