HOBART · LAUNCESTON 'PAID' CDS WITH VALUE TABLET

[Ross Ewington]

The discovery of the item illustrated below has prompted me to commence this topic
so that we can record some information and images about these interesting and often
overlooked cds postmarks. It's OK to include here examples with the value tablet removed as well.

Slightly doubled but full, clear impression of second type (with dot stops) of the HOBART POSTAGE PAID
with 1d value tablet and Code T (this code is not recorded in the "Green Books") - has anybody else seen
an example?? _________________________________________TO VIEW THE COMPLETE IMAGE, MOUSE-CLICK ON IT ONCE
