Pshann,
The '02' on your first postmark is the year slug i.e. 1902.
The canceller number would be below that, i.e. not shown on your stamp.
Your second stamp successfully shows the canceller number on the Sydney postmark, i.e. 22. |

Hi Pshann, In your first stamp the 02 is the year, ie: 1902. Your second stamp is what we're looking for; the 22 at the base being the device number.  |

I'm up for that Bobby De La Rue - as long as I can play the pianola. |

Some of those are spot on for this thread, Pshann:
Sydney 10, July 5? 1898
Sydney A 11, November 1, 1888
Sydney 15, September 25, 1893
Sydney 22, 20 October, 1902
Sydney 30, December 7, 1899
Sydney 30, October 14, 1902

Nice array Pshann,
you must have quite an extensive stock
to draw these out.
The vertical pair needs a gentle part hinge on the back
to prevent separation and possible loss.

Rod
Thankyou

The problem is generally I can't see the details unless it is a standout.
But it is what it is
Happy to contribute and learn more |

Again, more nice examples,
what it indicates to me, is a collector that
is not hindered by damaged stamps, has kept
some "on piece" , multiples, and so on.
In doing so, it shows, philatelic history is preserved,
and information can be gleaned by such an approach.
Lovely pairs and triples.
