Hi,

I believe this is my oldest pre-decimal. I think it's 1882-1895?
Can anyone tell me anything about this stamp?

Hi,

LOOKS like the 1895 - 1896 'Orange-Red', going by the white on the forehead and bust not reaching oval border. Worth no more than 0.40¢ used.

Darrin.

Rockhampton Postmark. but not a good strike, and probably unrated. Rockhampton was a (comparitively) fair size place even back in the 19th Century.

Norm, what do you mean when you say the postmark is unrated?
