From another source :
I recently bought this page of SG113/114 2d blue 1864-71 perf. 12½, quite cheaply I might add :-)
Quite apart from the CDS cancels I saw on a couple of these, I also noticed something else!!
On this one, quite clearly marked 'Christchurch' underneath it, is an obliterator type NOT of Christchurch, which should have a large 'C' within the obliterator cancel if it were so, but another letter!
It is an 'X' within the obliterator .....
This obliterator type was used at Chatham Islands - during the 1860s. Not a very populated island today, let alone 150 odd years ago.
A nice find, even if I say so myself :-)
