I wonder how many of this Harvey postmark still exist on kangaroo stamps. Type CDS 3b, recorded used from 1896 until 23rd October 1913.  |

Not many, I'd guess, it was a private town in the 1890's Milk production and Oranges. Currently snacking on a slice of Harvey Cheese  |

Crowned "TULLIS" frank It's a shame the lower part is unreadable. Interesting that there only seems to be records of Tullis Post Office in 1922 and after, yet that seal is said to be 1850's. I wonder where it originated. As an aside, Tullis and Co. were papermakers in Scotland from 1809 (R. Tullis & Co.), later mergers saw formation of Tullis Russell & Co. (1906) and Tullis Hunter & Co. Ltd (1922).  Source: https://special-collections.wp.st-a...ject-update/ |

Never aware of a Tullis Post Office. At least now, some information is broadcast. Someone, someday may be able to expand. PS: for the record "Block" = woodblock. |

Stamp community member Itma received a comprehensive response from Malcolm Brown of the Western Australia study group regarding the 'Peak Hill' cancellation on page 4 of this thread: "Thanks for getting in touch with the Western Australia Study Group.
With your question regarding the Peak Hill postmark, you are correct in saying that it was normal for the month to be before the day. It is however also found with day before the month.
I have attached a photo of the type 3b postmarking implement for your reference, and this may help in your understanding. (This one is for Greenhills, Western Australia.). When viewing the postmarker, you can see 4 slots for where the postal clerk needs to insert the slugs. The Index (or code) number goes at the top, with the month and day slugs in the centre 2 slots, and the year at the base. Sometimes errors occurred with the day and month inserted vice-versa, as well as other insertion errors too.
It is easy to see how these insertion errors occurred, as when the clerk was inserting the slugs, the cds is viewed back to front. The slugs needed to be inserted in reverse when looking at the cds so that when the striker was turned over for use they were then in the correct position.
In viewing the Greenhills implement attached, the August month slug is still in the cds on the left hand side. This is actually in the wrong position. If this striker was to be used as is, then when the striker is turned over for use, the month would be after the day.
I have shown a few types of errors in another scan attached to this email:
Top left shows a correct setting with index #, Month and day and year all in their rightful places.
The strike on the 5d swan shows incorrect year in the index # position.
The strike on the 4d swan shows month before day.
The strike on the 1d swan shows day before month.
All these are 3b-b cancels struck with the Peak Hill 3b-b postmarking device.
The varieties of these clerk insertion errors are fun to collect, and help broaden ones postmark collection."  |
