New South Wales Numeral Cancels

The worn 168 is not wide enough.

The 88 of Port Macquarie is a chance at this stage.

The only other numeral in the 160s that would qualify is a 161 of Aberdeen. The others were all superseded by 3R16 types, except 169 of course.

If it is a 161 it'd be the worst strike I've ever seen from there.

What about a 290 of Michelago?

That's the right size and type but the first number still looks more like a 3 than a 2.

I think we've long established that these numerals can be deceiving.

Please excuse the amateur effects

It's a strong possibility and probably the most feasible at this stage.
I'll keep an eye out for more.

198?

I thought of a 198 but it's the wrong device type for the stamp issue.

Curious
Does it follow, that if the same numeral appears on a Star and a barred cancelling hammer, then the corollary is that the size or the numeral
should be identical?

I would have thought they would always differ.

Any numeral that appears in a star (or more correctly, rays) pattern that subsequently had a barred arrangement will always look different in every respect.

Take these five from Bathurst for example.



There were 15 different numeral devices used at Bathurst and, apart from types 1 & 2 and types 9 and 10, they're all very different.

NB: Freeman types 14 and 15 (both duplex devices) are the same numeral but the datestamp was altered.

Rod222,
Although the strike on my stamp appears to have bars, I suggest that is a consequence of the blurred/overinked/worn rays.

This graduated animation shows that the position of the markings on the subject stamp align with the position of the rays on the clearer 290 strike:

Those animations are truly excellent fairdinkumstamps.

We need a tutorial




Right! I completely missed that.

As per Rod222's request, here is my attempt at a tutorial to show how to create a postmark comparison animation:

Great use of technology fairdinkumstamps.

A little beyond my reach I must say, only insofar as I haven't used a slideshow program for this sort of thing before. I didn't even know it could be done!

Amazing, Thank you very much FDS.
Never used Powerpoint prior,
This will be a steep learning curve.
What amazes me is the ability to reduce down to SCF
format.
I have used Giffmaker, many time before, but getting below 200Kb
was always tough.
