Brisbane Registered datestamp type 5

Brisbane post office opened in April 1830
  • Registered datestamp type 5 (unframed circular datestamp 24.5 mm in diameter) on a Sideface rated 3R
According to Campbell, this unframed registered datestamp was in use at Brisbane from November 1890 to July 1902. It consists of an unframed circle, 24.5 mm in diameter, reading REGISTERED round the top, BRISBANE round the foot and the date in two lines in the centre (Campbell type 4.) Campbell does not provide an illustration and I have never seen an example. Do you have one to show?
