cjd, The stamp floating past the back of your boat has a duplex type D17 postmark, canceller device number 15. They were the first type to have the NSW obliterator half in horizontal bars instead of concentric ovals.

Bobby De La Rue, Your 'SYDNEY' being different to the D17 of the postmarks shown by Cjd and me and also different to the D19 from White, which type would you assign to that version of 15?

Thank you Cjd, that's very kind of you, but I have moved on from my Sydney collection, in that I'm not actively chasing anything these days. Too busy with other stuff!
