Brisbane Registered datestamp type 2

Brisbane post office opened in April 1830

• Registered datestamp type 2 (unframed circular datestamp) in RED on a Chalon rated 4R. Dates seen are 13 March 1875 to 5 December 1876

This unframed registered datestamp was in use at Brisbane in the mid-1870s. It consisted of an unframed circle, diameter unknown, reading REGISTERED LETTER OFFICE from the left round the top to the right, BRISBANE at the foot with no stops or other markings in-between. The date was in the centre in two lines, with the month and day over the year in two digits with an indistinct code letter at the top (possibly d). It is not listed by Campbell and has only been seen on cover in red ink that was either originally faintly applied or has since faded
