Share Your Sydney Cds Postmark Canceller Numbers On NSW Colonial/State Stamps

Pshann, yours is a 36. There is no 35 for this type of device.

Bobby, would / could that possibly be a "modified" 35
def looks dodgy around the base of the 6

No Rod, the D19s are the last duplexes issued.

The D18s & D19s were only brought in as replacements for earlier devices. The last 35 was a D17 type; the recorded dates of use I have are 23/9/1895 to 15/9/1903.

That was replaced by the first single line datestamp (non-duplex) which has a EKD of 8/7/1905.

The gap I'm sure could be narrowed

Fives and sixes on NSW postmarks, numerals included, are the bane of my existence

Some 35's and 36's - including Pshann's:

Interesting focus,
That flat topped 36 still has me bemused,
I would have lost a sizeable bet that was a "modified" 35

I have often rued the fact, there is scarce evidence on the
way these cancelling hammers were produced,
made in Britain? and were they tooled steel or moulded / molded.

Made in New South Wales Rod.

Almost every handstamp would've been made in Sydney, but there's a few odd ball items that may have been local productions.

Right then. Thanks Bobby.

As I mentioned above.



Looks for all money like a 764 doesn't it?

But it ain't!

Now you're rubbing it in ! "754"

Apologies for posting off topic,
Thought it better here than a new thread.

Slogan? type CDS
"Posted in circular box. GPO"
I do not recall seeing this before.
Would that be "circular" as in magazine material, or one of these?
What reason behind pmk? mis-posted mail?

Rod222,
This article from 1932 reveals that your first suggestion is correct:

That's just great! Thanks FDS.

Rod

Understatement
