EARLIEST 1913 POSTMARK DATES on 1d ROOs - RECORD THEM HERE

[Ross Ewington]

As a "follow up" to the debate about whether there should be a "cut-off" date for rarity
ratings of cds postmarks on the Pictorial issue, let's start a census of cds postmarks on
the Kangaroo defins up to say... September 30th, 1913*.

You can read the discussion "RATED POSTMARKS on PICTORIALS - IS THERE A CUTOFF DATE?"
via this link: http://tps.org.au/bb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=113. Use your the back
space key on your keyboard to return to this topic.

I know that it will take some time but the empirical knowledge collected should provide
an interesting overview of the distribution of the Kangaroo definitives to Tasmanian post
offices.

* I originally set the reporting period as the first six months of 1913 but I now feel that a nine month
period would be of more use. Don't worry if you have a few postmarks from the beginning of October,
you can include them too!

Instructions to contributors:

1) post one or more "early dates" that you have recorded as a reply to this e-mail. Images
are not important but if you include same please keep them fairly small.

2) please use this format for reporting your postmark - this is important as it makes it easy to simply
copy and paste your item into the master list:

TOWN / DATE / YOUR INITIALS ....... e.g. MANGANA - FE 25 13 / R.E.

3) as postmark details are provided I shall transfer all the information up to this first post and then
move your post to an archive file. Wherever possible I would like to identify the source with the
contributors initials.

Here we go ....

thanks Roger

at present I am only recording early dates on the 1d value to try and determine approx. when a particular
office ran out of Pictorials and started using 1d Roos for the standard letter rate. As the 9d Roo didn't replace
a Pictorial issue (it replaced the 9d QV s/face with Crown/A wmk), Moorina probably re-stocked with the new
stamp quite early in 1913.

[John Hardinge]

After having a look at my own collection, I have added new early dates as shown with JH initials. Of course, the next step is finding late dates on 1d, 1d on 2d pictorials and seeing how they match....
