Welcome to our 83rd sale, which is an online auction only, comprising 1,227 lots featuring a wide range of Australasian and All-World material. There are 216 lots of Australian Colonies, with strength in New South Wales and Queensland, including fine postal history with an excellent range of Moreton Bay District postmarks and covers. There are also good groups of both New South Wales and Victorian postage due stamps, and some useful Victorian Stamp Statutes.
Australian Commonwealth opens with two superb Perkins Bacon handpainted essays of 1902. The highlight is an old-time used accumulation of Kangaroos, from which many fine and interesting stamps have been offered individually, with strength in shades, scarce inverted watermarks and OS punctures. The remainder has been broken up by watermark and these bulk lots include much of postmark interest. The later issues include a wide range of George V issues, and a good lot of sunken die proofs, and decimal issues with proofs and errors.
The postage due issues include many fine and rare stamps through all the issues. The monocolour issues have a fine range of used high values, and the bicolours show strength in monogram pieces and imprints, as well as several very fine bulk lots. Postal stationery is highlighted by an exceptional group of Kangaroo stationery which includes virtually all the rarities of the envelopes, lettercards, lettersheets and wrappers.
In the Australian Territories, there is a useful range of North-West Pacific Islands, Norfolk Island imperforate proofs on presentation cards, and rare Papuan proof material.
