Hi all! I was going through some folders of stuff and I found this paper with these New Zealand stamps hinged to it. Does anyone know of any good resources that would help ID the postal cancels on these stamps? I thank you in advance.
Hi Baker J, I wasn't able to find an online source, but I noted a response on StampBoards where a book by Richard Wooders was referenced, "NZ Post Offices Cancellation and Postmark Guide". There is a 1990 and a 1998 version I have seen online. The book isn't cheap (probably because it is out of print). The best bet would be to see if there is a loaner available at the APS library or a philatelic library. Good luck on that.
Queen Victoria by Chalon Country:New Zealand Series:Queen Victoria by Chalon Catalog codes:Stamp Number NZ 16a Stanley Gibbons NZ 68 Issued on: 1862 Colors: Orange vermilion Watermark: Large Star Perforation: 13 Face value: 1 d - New Zealand penny Description: Dunedin Perforation - not listed in Michel or Yvert
Michel mentions the Dunedin perf.13 stamps,as privatly made on order of the Dunedin postmaster. Michel gives 40 cat.nos to the Chalons,while my old S.G. lists 142 ! A mine-field for ordinary collectors,heaven to specialsts.
