Type 1 - A
framed circular datestamp 25 mm in diameter, with 'PARCELS POST' round the top,
'BRISBANE' round the foot, and one very short bar at each side; the date is in
two lines in the centre, month and day over the year in two digits, and usually a code figure '1' or '2' above the date and below the 'LS' of 'Parcels'. This is the only Brisbane parcel post type with the date in two lines
Rated 2R for Code 1 and 5R for Code 2 but due to the size of the datestamp and the fact that they were applied to parcels, clear and complete examples are surprisingly hard to find. Good clear examples therefore command a premium. Dates seen are 13 May 1892 - 8 January 1898. Campbell listed this type in his book as type 2
