Hi fairdinkumstamps,
That's a late use of a Sydney dumb obliterator.
Wmk SG40, perf. 11x12 comb is it? |

Your top right stamp is almost identical Bobby.
I gotta tell you, I was just about to call it a non postmark,
the "V" shape looked absurd, but now we can see the bars do converge
when the hammer is worn.

Looking for help with this one please. The closest I could find is NASHUA but the spelling is reading NASHAU. I have a list that spells it with AU but an online search only shows UA.  Tasnaki |

Hi Tasnaki,
The only place I could find that might be a match is Marshall in Victoria. |

It is NASHAU New South Wales From my 20,000 database. (The only result with text string SHAU) I am assuming there exists a mis-spelt cancelling hammer for, as you said, NASHUA Perhaps a reconnoitre through Prestige auctions may confirm? "Page not found"   |

Rod222 Fantastic work, I wondered if that was a possibility and you have now confirmed it. The March 1908 date is clearly an early strike.
Mossgreen had one for auction in 2016 with $75 reserve.

Hi Tasnaki,
yes I was ruminating on that,
Error in use 8 years 6 years, smaller town, what would be the survival rate of good Pmks?
Your price suggests the answer.

Great find Rod  Hopson & Tobin have a date range of 1908 to 1914 so yes, it's a very early use! |

What has me perplexed,
is the 1910 impression shows an ARC based design,
(Also periods between Year Month Day in the date slug)
yours does not. (albeit there is a tiny spot of ink at end)
Ergo, they misspelt the hammer twice? or was there 2 hammers sent / in existance?
