The Telegraph service operating out of the Brisbane General Post office had a number of datestamps, but it appears that only two Telegraph Counter datestamp types were also used for postal purposes while two GPO Telegraph Branch date stamp types were used on postage stamps, presumably to pay for telegraph charges. In addition, a Brisbane Electric Telegraph Office (E.T.O) Counter datestamp has been seen on a postage stamp before 1914.
- A framed circle 25 mm in diameter, with 'BRISBANE E.T.O' round the top, 'COUNTER' at the foot with a full stop either side, and in the centre, in one line, the day, month in three letters and year in two digits. One example has been seen so far dated 23 September 1910. Rated 3R
