Country: All Subject: Bisects Clear | Sort: Newest listed first |
My current count for the different combinations of obliterators on QV Pine, CC, CA wmks, QV Keyplates, QV Falls, QV Fiscals, and 1903 Badge issues is 1,916 items. Although I am not a collector I have my own form of collection in that I now have 1,602 scanned combinations, and 314 missing for completion. These counts do not include Kingston Head Office A01 but only cover the town cancels A27 through to E. Included are coloured inks (only blue,and violet) and the two manuscript numbers of 36 and 37 and the possible A67 on QV 1/- CC Ex Duffus. Bisects are not included as they mainly come on complete cover. In mentioning coloured inks I have seen two examples red A01 supplied to John Buckner, Florida in the 1980s. Most elusive, for me, are those which fall on the 1903 Arms issues as I do not have a single scan. Lucky is the collector I sold a wonderful Arms cover cancelled by one of the oblits. many years back. Ideally 106 pages can be allocated for these 1,916 combinations so that all A27 fall on one page, and blue inks, or manuscripts, have their own pages. Probably the most diverse range are those for Cold Spring 193 - no examples are known on Pine wmks so far (the office opened end September 1874) but extremely rare examples of the QV 2/- (SG.14) and QV 6d orange (SG.23) have been found used at this office. Some offices give me quite a shock when I look at my pages. Probably the worst is Richmond A79(J) where I find I have 9 scans and 14 missing scans to complete the page. Added to these 106 pages are pages set up to show examples of the FALMOUTH cds (P11); MILE GULLY cds (P9) SAVANNA-LA-MAR manuscript X overstruck A01, SAVANNA-LA-MAR cds (P11); brass ― on QV 2d Pine possibly used Spanish Town; manuscript assisted A67 used Port Royal; the newly discovered manuscript Manchioneal dated by Kingston cds A/JY 29 76 which all contribute to the obliterator story. Double and Inverted surcharges have been included in the count.
Yes! The left half of the KG6 ―d Fresh Water Lake definitive is UNDENOMINATED and therefore could not reflect a žd denomination. Two covers are known to me and I am curious as to whether the ROSEAU */FE 9 40 and */FE 19 40 cds are genuine! The PAID AT NEVIS Crowned Circle cover is completely bogus albeit the QV 1d carmine stamp is genuine. The author being well aware that genuine strikes of both the Crowned Paid and Nevis cds have an oily appearance at this period has cleverly used his paint brush to simulate the oily stains within the Nevis despatch cds and soiled the cover at top left for good measure to simulate toning. The ENGLISH HARBOUR backstamp is also bogus and on similar covers the author often just used the day slug in different dates like the Roseau cds's. The PAID at NEVIS crowned circle appears on the QV 1d carmine and horizontal pairs QV ―d dull green, but only as "loose" stamps, no genuine covers existing. So why not make one!! To me there exists a similarity in the handwriting style of the Nevis cover and Dominica FE 19 40 cover, and the style of the cds's look as if they have come from the same stable.
