Postmark with Inverted Date
Postmark devices were
created with removable slugs so that the day, month and year could be changed
(generic example of postmark device shown). Given the manual process of
swapping slugs, this lead to the occasional error being made when the
numerical or letter slugs were inserted, resulting in one or more of these
being inserted upside down. In some instances, the whole date is inverted,
whilst others exist with only one or two of the numeric or letter slugs being
inverted (ie, Day, Month or Year). A few
stamps from the Spanish-Philippine period have been recorded with inverted
date cancels in varying formats. Listed below are the postmark errors
recorded to date. |
