Re: 1899 cancels on Pictorials

1899 dates after December 25th on Hobart and Launceston postmarks can be found with a little effort. Postmarks pre-dating December 25th are much scarcer in my experience.

All 1899 dated postmarks from post offices other than Hobart and Launceston are very scarce to extremely rare.

to assist with ID, can you please post an image of the other three positions (if you eliminate all but the cancel, that will assist too)?

Re: A potentially controversial 5x3 perfin on 1/2 tablet !

Thanks for posting this Jerry In my opinion, the perfin is a fake 1) due to the method the T perfin was produced, it would be highly unlikely for both "bars" of the T to be punctured at an angle 2) a 3 hole puncture as part of a T perfin has never been seen to the best of my knowledge ... the varyin...

Note a 'quad' has been used as second number in year for reasons unknown. This example was from John Avery's collection
so it's surprising that the dateline variation hasn't been recorded previously
