Census of RRR and RRRR circular date stamps on Tas Pictorial

[Ross Ewington]

Pete has already got it "counted" in the census on the TPS website - we Taswegians move fast!

It's a beauty ain't it??

This one is a bit of an "also ran"

I tried to get it with a buy it now for 150 but the seller said he has 20 lookers so will wait & see. So good luck to all who have a stab at it best give a good shake to that stamp buying tin!

A selection and we can argue again about (early) 1913 dates: Upgraded image.

[Peter Allan]

Geoff,
thanks very much. I possibly already have a few images from you I have not up-loaded( and I know I have up-loaded some ). I'm trying to get the original census stuff up then progressively add new examples. I'll get there in the end.
I'm certainly not worrying about the 1913 date issue at this point !

I thought I had sold all my good postmarks, but came across this Glazier's Bay. It is a nice strike and I think it might be LRD.

That's a terrific strike Patrick ...it's better than the one I used recently on the post office and postmark wiki (the Glazier's Bay listing is well advanced).

Can you see if you have an example of the Type 2 that is of equal quality?

The latest recorded date for the Type 1b is currently 02-JUL-1903
