Is this EL ARISH.R.O. Queensland postmark common?

Thank you for your information!

Peter

Hi Peter,

I'm no expert on cancels but I'd guess from the prices on Premier Postal's website that El Arish R.O. is pretty common.

R.O. stands for Receiving Office. According to Premier Postal's website: El Arish opened as a Receiving Office on 16 Nov 1921 and was elevated to Post Office in 1926. It was not uncommon for Receiving Offices to continue using their postmark for many years after they became post offices; and your El Arish R.O. postmark was still being used to at least 1938.

Hope this helps

Staples.

Hi Donald,
As I'm sure you're aware, 3R30 and 4L53 are the most likely candidates. However your stamp doesn't show any of the additional flaws. Is it perf 14 or 13.5x12.5?


It's perf 14.

I'm leaning toward 1L36 on this 5d feature being broken crown with spur at right end, any agreements on this one please, if not any thoughts ?

It's perf 14.

Donald,

If the checklist is to be taken as gospel (and I'm reading it correctly), then for 3R30 the flaw only occurs in perf 13.5x12.5. That leaves 4L53 3rd state as the most likely option, which the checklist attributes to Ash's first printing in perf 14. Missing from your example are the compartment marks (dots at NW and SW corners).

Cheers

Staples

Hi All

I am wondering if the pricing(1990's?) is correct for these KGV Stamps and are they worth more as a bulk lot or split them up?

Please let me know if you require any scans of the backs or higher resolution, sorry about the 10 pictures tho.

Thanks for your time.

This is the simple way to ask for help Orange, and it is fun checking the KGV closely you could have something worth more then you think.

Hi all, I think I found some type of flaw. The Kangaroo ear and the circle are joined up. The watermark is Crown over A. I have checked all my KGV and there is no style like this.

MIcky:

Nothing in either Monk's or BSAP's checklists. There seem to be traces of ink linking both sides of the ear.

The outline of the ear is rather narrow so it wouldn't take much to break it or weaken it. Doesn't appear to be watermark related. Could be a void in the paper fibres where no or little ink adhered to it. The term for this is an EFO (Error Freak Oddity) - a one-off occurence.

To eliminate/confirm watermark interference I usually hold the stamp in front of a strong light source. Helps to rule it (the watermark) out as the source of the flaw.

21R59 , needed for the wiki.
flaw in maltese cross
flaw on U
flaw through STR
spot on emu

This one I cant find. The spur on the left flur de lis and a notch right side of crown might help.

Some nice inking issues on this 2d, nothing else I can see.

Surely this can only be my imagination, odd.

I don't know if these belong here. Yes, colors are different on every monitor, and for everyone's eyes, but maybe someone could help me with these:

Erik, they are all the "correct shade." Each of those issues comes in many shades. You've shown some of the range of shades for each one.

Hi Erik,

As Greg said they come in a variety of shades, and I don't pretend I'm an expert at all when it comes to distinguishing between them.

However, the dates on the 4d oranges and a copy of the ACSC can help you narrow down likely shades.

Your 20 Oct 17 is most likely to be Pale Orange-Yellow (110E).

The two copies from 1921 are most likely to be Orange (110H) or Yellow-Orange (110I ).

Cheers

Staples

Paul, the stamps priced at 20c and 30c are not worth that singly. That might be their catalogue value but it represents more of a handling fee than anything else.

Some of the better values can be worth selling individually. But it depends on the intent of your question. If you are wanting to sell them then you will likely get a better return as a lot than trying to break them up.

This 1d Red single wmk inverted has a very prominent flaw at top right corner, could it be 2/55 or is there another possibility ?

The 4th bloom looks wrong and the missing lines in the main composite have right ends and you would think they would say something about that crown top.

Hi Everyone,

I came across this 1d Green Single Watermark with what appears to be a Thin G. The postmark maybe blocking it as I cannot find any reference to this flaw on the Green 1d. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Regards Chris

Thanks GUTTERS, I was only looking at the Monk checklist and the right corner flaw seemed to be a match on section 5 page 6, but the 1973 BSAP checklist doesn't even mention the top corner, and shows 2/55 as a merged die 2 as well, hmm teach me not to re-check books !!

This 1½d die 2 has a rather solid top to the crown not dis-similar to 3L30, and has thin bottom frame to the F in halfpence, but lacks the Compartment lines at left of the cross, can anyone suggest any other position ?

There are numerous flaws on this die 1 1½d but I can't find a plate position for it, any ideas anyone please ? 2nd line right of crown broken, scratch through right pearl, break bottom right corner, cut into bottom line at right etc.

Hi Donald,

I'd stick with 3L30 for your Die 2. I've found some of the compartment lines listed in the checklist can be quite variable.

Your Die 1 is 24R8 2nd state.

Cheers

Hi Gutters,

Thanks for that. How can we explain the flaw? Can the 1d Green SWM be plated? Noticed extra ink spot under Roo ear & bottom frame under N of Penny.

Thank you in advance.

I'm fairly sure this is 23L7 notch top right frame, but the 2nd flaw is obscured by the postmark, any agreements on this one please ?

Thanks GUTTERS. What's the chances of this being 21R23 ? haven't anything really to compare it with, but it looks like the top 2 lines either side of crown are thicker than the rest.

I would be happier if the break under the A of halfpence was there

I bought a collection from overseas (England) which included a copy of a GV 1d red with unusual postmark "---MON---" 'Commonwealth', (scans are not attached as yet as this is my first foray into this site - how do I attach scans?)

The stamp itself also has several flaws on the printed side - double frame etc - could someone please advise authority/printing/date of this item and legitimacy of its production??!! Not in catalogues I have, tho personal area of expertise certainly not Australia as my interests are pre union South Africa

Donald.

I agree with Gutters regarding 21R23.

The point of the inner white margin of your stamp also appears elongated at the SW corner. This elongation is similar to the flaw listed for 21R34, but then it doesn't account for the thickened shading lines.

Cheers

John,

As the saying goes: a picture says a thousand words. If you can post an image I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Have a look at this thread, it guides you through the steps - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=284

Cheers Staples

Not real common :twisted: wealth will not be in your future, these are just stamps that are printed to far to the right or left placing the image on the words Commonwealth Of Australia that is on the left and right of the watermark.

Hello all:
Was going through the same pile of 1d's for the n'th time and finally saw this little disturbance. Can you say if it's random foreign matter or a known position?

A 'Thank you' to the experts who give their time here.

Best to all,
pat

patg there are three small red lines that should not be there i think they have come from the white lines that are also not suppose to be there

I think this is a tinshed, white area is were the glue was, the extra red lines are the clue that was lifted and retuned to the paper and then dried

A test if you wish to do give it another soak and see if the red lines are there after.

GUTTERS:
Took your advice and gave it a nice long soak & even a gentle brushing.
So maybe not a constant position or a tin shed. Maybe just some random stuff on the plate.
Anyway, I'll stop messing with it, and keep it as an oddment.

Thanks for looking.

I thought at first that the postmark on that was Hammond, which is very common. But I'm pretty certain that it is Hamilton, which is very hard to find.

Hi, can someone please confirm that these are tin-shed flaws?

This one has a flaw just below the kangaroo, extending into the left value tablet...

And this one looks like a bad flu epidemic...

Many thanks :)

Cheers Barry_e, I have a couple wmk crown over A also if they are needed for wiki, well I think they are the same on the left side.

Greg hi, I just checked Hamilton Squared circle 1907-1908 seems a bit early for this 1d, I could have a real rare one and not know 8) , I like it. I will try to darken it up a bit to make out the name more.
