There is no indication that the ms 2d was paid. Perhaps they didn’t want to spoil a schoolboy’s hobby.

Could it be something to do with the Royal Mail Steamers (Steamships/Ships) ? This is more promising.

The Collector or Sub-Collector of Customs may also have been the Postmaster, especially at Daru. They were multi-tasked in those early days. Lee had to list the similar H.M. Customs Daru BNG handstamp because it was used to cancel some Queensland stamps. Please see attachments.

Anyone with information please reply.

The colour of the handstamp is probably black, but on a blue envelope it appears blue. My initial thought was that the sender had been creative with his own handstamp, but…[Read more]
