The money collected by the post office was retained by to pay the cost involved for the additional service. In my opinion, there is no difference bet...

I sold another pair a couple of years ago that I will also post an image of to this topic as soon as I can find it. z1927.jpg The stamp is the sideways V over Crown watermarked i...

DEEP LEAD / AP 9 99 / TASMANIA

Interest has been increasing in collecting the scarcer circular datestamps on stamps issued prior to the Pictorial Series of 1899/1912. There are many rarities, resulting from the required procedure (from 1861 through to 1900) of cancelling stamps with a barred numeral obliterator and applying the p...

MOLE CREEK / -1OC02 / TAS 7304 .... very few Tasmanian steel datestamps
were used for so long after the introduction of neoprene faced datestamps
in the early 1990s.

The Courier (the Tasmanian Philatelic Society research journal) used to be a "clearing house" for reporting contemporary Tassie postmarks. With the introduction of neoprene faced datestamps in the early 1990s, many collectors chose to collect only the (soon to be obsolete) longer lasting steel dates...
