Awarded Large Vermeil at EuroPhilEx 2025.

An updated Queensland postage stamp datestamps and instructional markings handbook by Dr Jeremy Hodes. It replaces "Queensland Colonial Postal History: The Town Datestamps," 2nd edition by Bernard Manning, published in 2014. All stamps are from my own collection unless stated otherwise.

This catalog is updated as new material comes to hand. If you have any examples to add, please contact me at jeremy2929@gmail.com. The rarity ratings are based on relative scarcity and range from common, meaning examples are plentiful, through to 5R, where only one or two copies are known

And a very big shout out to the members of the Queensland Stamp Collecting Facebook Group for all their help and encouragement and date stamp examples

Use the pages (at the top), labels or search function to find the information you are seeking.
