This thread is for members to help each other with manuscript cancellations on NSW stamps. To start things off, I posted the stamp below on another forum but don't have a definitive answer for it yet. Any suggestions for the third line of the script below?  |

Thanks for your suggestions Rod222 and KGV collector.
Just to be clear on the purpose of the thread - it is to decipher the actual letters/words (as per KGV Collector's reply) on any manuscript cancels uploaded here.
My suggestion is that it is two words, the latter possibly Ck, an abbreviation for Creek. |

I mean no disrespect. Dates would be sometimes be decipherable.  |

The first character looks like a 3 and the last two look like ch which might be for charge or cheque. |

 Note: If you come across any Australian Pre decimal with a violet handstamp
"HOSPITAL TAX" (or part thereof) that will be a ACT Revenue

Thanks Pshann.
Looks like the signature of somebody who was the 'P Manager' on the first stamp.
The second stamp looks interesting too - can you make out what it says? |

A popular cursive E but anything's possible! Well, maybe not anything... and probably not this great snooker player, who had already turned professional by 1966  |
