THE LATEST USE of STEEL DATESTAMPS in TAS~ASSISTANCE SOUGHT

#1 Post by Ross Ewington » Tue Jul 20, 2010 5:20 pm

As a companion project to my compilation of neoprene-faced datestamps used in Tasmania (see http://tps.org.au/bb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=361), I think that it would be a good idea to record the latest known usage of all the various steel datestamps that were in service at the time they were officially withdrawn during the 1990s (mostly).

This is a big task and I need assistance - if you can help, please post your late dates in this topic below. All you need to provide is the office name, datestamp classification as per "Avery & Hardinge" (e.g. Type 8T or Type 5(s), etc.) and the date...... please be certain that the date is the date (i.e. no guessing on poor strikes ;) ). I will then transfer your information into the table below. If you are unsure that you have all the information, please attach an image of the postmark ...... it's easy to do on the TPS BB as we allow attachments to all posts (you can include up to 10 per post) .... there is no need for third party hosting with Photobucket or suchlike.

There is one other criterion required and that is that the date must be from 1994 or later as extensive work has already been done by John Hardinge up to this year.

Unsure of type of post mark but I am sure it is within the area you are researching.
