The two lists below record:
- the clear date stamps on the 2½d (2/6) NSW Charity stamp. Faint, smudged and incomplete date stamps are not included because of the difficulty in ascertaining their degree of genuiness. The list below has 21 entries so there could be up 30 or more good examples of the 2½ (2/6) stamp with a good cancellation (albeit mainly CTO given many have full gum). Stamps with only a barred numeral have not been included;
- the known covers of the 2½d (2/6) NSW Charity stamp used as a single franking on cover.
See elsewhere for covers with mixed frankings of the 2½d (2/6) or with combination frankings with the 1d (1/-).
