Patersonia - how many pre-1900 datestamp strikes on cover?

#1 Post by John Shepherd » Sat Sep 26, 2009 4:59 pm

How many examples of the Patersonia cds are recorded on cover pre-1900? The numeral BN128 is rated RRRR thus the cds must be rarer still in the early period. (I have not even seen one on Letter Bill).

Patersonia opened on 1.7.1869 and was allocated BN128. The cds, reading "Tas" at base was issued in the period 1878-79.

I have recorded one strike only on cover dated 13 June 1882. The day is inverted. This is the earliest strike of the cds I have seen.

Are there any other sideface period covers known from Patersonia?

As far as I know there is only one cover known. As a NE office not likely it would be known on letter bill. 1882 is earlyish. CDs would have been issued May/Jn 1878 with rest of Type 1a's.
