FRANK STAMPS - record latest use here
This cover from the Post and Telegraph Department has a frank stamp (Secretary General Post Office) 'cancelled' on December 11th 1902. As the use of stamps perf T was introduced for all government mail from November 1st 1902 I would regard this as a very late official use of any TAS frank stamp.
Arrival backstamp applied at Launceston dated December 12th confirms the Hobart cds has the date correct.

Re: FRANK STAMPS - record latest use here
I have a Franked cover from the Secretary General Post Office that is dated 20th December 1902.
However, In my write-up I state that the Frank Stamp was used as late as 1904. I think this information came from Randall Askeland, on whose collection mine is based.
