Help, I'm lost! Well, not really. But I thought this was an interesting cancel. I'm sure I have a few other examples in my piles of stuff where the cancellation on an Australian state stamp doesn't match the stamp, but this one had a nice clear postmark that really jumped out and grabbed me. Stamp from Victoria, cancellation from Tasmania (post-federation).  Ryan |

I make no apologies for the state of these stamps, one needs a Sultan's ransom to afford them. (A bit like Melbourne's current housing market) I sweep the floor when the big boys leave the auction room.  1860 Steiner Page 5  |

This Victoria Revenue Stamp, Scott #AR10 (1884-96), and the two postage stamps below it, #219 (1905-10), and #169 (1890-95) are the extent of Victoria stamps I have. The revenue stamp has the higher CV value, although it's used, with a light cancel, and has a crease that's visible from the reverse.   |

Ok feebletodix I must admit I did not look to much in the earlier postings. Is this what should be in here?  Or am I still far out in the woods? |

yes, this is the right place for State of Victoria, and a lovely clear example of a Hamilton hand cancellation from 1898 it is too.

This was mixed in a lot of Great Britain Queen Victoria's I just received from a collector in Argentina 1905-10 Sc# 219 ( I belive this to be the "rose reed" Cancellation- looks to be Melbourn(e) not sure how to guess at the date (or maybe time) Impression is somewhat questionable- lots of broken/incomplete lines... but nothing about Australia or it's states and forgeries I could come up with anyway, unexpected surprises abound!  Cheers! |

If you really want to do it, I suggest using only cold water, preferably demineralized, one stamp at a time.
Or leave everything as it is.
If you wash them, it makes me anxious even if the stamps are yours.

Does anyone know if any of these have unstable inks ? I'd like to remove the hinge remnants (with the exception of 2 unused) Stan, I have generally soaked Victoria stamps in warm tap water without any issues. But you may want to test a single violet one before immersing all of those. GB violet stamps from the same era will fade in water. |

If all you are removing are hinge remnants, I've had luck just floating the stamps face up on top of the water.
