Hello, everybody! Would anyone have a book or catalog where this British postmark appears? I only have this image and I would like to know the correct diameter of it… Thanks!  |

I'm sure I do. I can check tomorrow. Whether I will have exact measurements, I can't say.
Do you have an example you're checking on? |

The postmark should be in John Parmenter's London numeral cancellations book. |

Making a virtual montage, it fits perfectly in a postmark thats is on a Brazilian stamp used until 1850s.  |

The image that I have came from this book Interesting. What page? I went through that one. CTRL-F gives only one hit for 'Brentford' and it is on page 50. It, certainly, is not what you posted. Quote:

The Brazilian cancel is a wide oval, whereas the illustration is more oval along the vertical axis. The spacing between the fifth and sixth bars on the Brazilian stamp is much bigger. |

Hello, NSK! You're right. I thought it was from this book, but it's actually from "Billig's Handbook on Postmarks" Vol.9 About the montage, see the result:  |

Perhaps the thread title should be renamed Classic Brazilian Postmark  |

No, Bobby. That's the problem…
The mute cancellations only starts in Brazil after 1866. And this stamps only was used until 1852…
So, this postmark had to be foreign.

As I said before, they do not match.
What tariff did the stamp cover? |

Thanks cjac76.
I'll revert to Parmenter then.
What's your interest in this postmark? Is it on a stamp or cover you have, or have seen? |

The stamp is mine, Bobby.
As it cannot be a Brazilian postmark, I would like to find out what its origin is…
This stamps were used only for domestic rate. So, if this postmark is really English, it is a great rarity…

Thanks again cjac76.
Are you certain the stamp (and the postmark) are genuine? |

If it is genuine, why the exotic explanation that a domestic rate stamp was used on an international letter, not cancelled until received abroad, and cancelled by the newspaper branch in London, rather than that someone found a 15-year old stamp and used it domestically?
Was the stamp invalidated by 1866? |

Thanks for your help… The stamp is genuine, for sure… The postmark has all the characteristics of genuine, but not being Brazilian, I can't say for sure... Officially these stamps were only invalidated in the 1890s. But the last known specimen used in Brazil is from the early 1850s. Look what I found in the book "Postal Cancellations of London"… mentions the use in the Foreign Branch…  |
