17 Datestamp

Brisbane Datestamp Page

Type 17 A framed circle, 17 mm in diameter, with 'BRISBANE' around the top, 'Q. L.' around the foot and a full stop either side; In the centre is a three date line with a code letter in the first line, the month and date in the second, and the year in two digits below. Extremely rare, with only partial examples seen by Campbell. Code letters seen by Campbell were D and E (although his E was probably an L). Code letters seen by me so far are A, L and N

• Type 17 (4 September 1892 - 27 September 1894) rated 5R - $50, $100 on cover

There are several different 'Q. L' at bottom Brisbane datestamps. To assist in distinguishing them see my page HERE
