Is This A British Postmark?

It is some kind of stamp, obviously... glued in one old tiny notebook... and I am just curious does it ever had some postage usage?

Hi filipo,

It looks like a postmark of the London Two Penny Post (although the one I've seen listed has an oval frame).

We have a Wiz here at SCF, by the name of Eunice Shanahan,
she specialises in pre stamp GB covers,
you can contact her via
-/rosdep.html

Please let us know the result!

I had trouble with the link Rod, but try her other site at http://www.victorianweb.org/previct...c1.html#pic2

where a cover is illustrated, with the same mark. The notes say

"Octagonal transfer datestamp Night 7 OC 30 1824 of the type in use from 1823 until 1831, applied at the Westminster Office (day before month)"

Alcock and Holland's British Postmarks would cover this. Anyone? Anyone? I'm betting it is going to turn out to be a transfer stamp.

Read up cjd!

Note to self...if you wait to hit "Submit" until you're done refilling your glass, its old news on SCF.

Speedy confirmation.

At least you've got your priorities right!

Brilliant work, gentlemen.

I trust the glass was water....

A really brilliant work, Jubilee! Thanks a lot for this shining observation!

Rod, thank you so much again for your great advices and help!

Nigelc and CJD, thanks also for the contribution in this thread!

Hi everyone,
Eunice is otherwise engaged at the moment but if you click on this link
-/letters/Previctorian/bullock.html

you will find a night transfer stamp applied to an old letter.
This one is from the Westminster Office whereas the one shown in the original query is of the Chief Office.

For anyone interested in these markings our home page is at

Clicking on

will take you directly to '200 years of British Postal Markings 1668-1868
Hope you find something of interest.

Ron (and Eunice in absentia) Don't ask where that is

Can't be as embarassing as asking where my mom is. She is at school this week learning to be a hooker! (rug hooker, for crying out lout she almost 80)
