| Lot 699 SOLD | [ C ] |
1902-04 Base Completed Watermark Crown over NSW 1/- and 2/- used on 1905 (12 May) Tattersalls cover from Cathcart (Cape Colony) to Hobart with 1d, underpaid 1½d with handstruck octagonal 'T/15', the 1/- and 2/- postage dues affixed and tied by Hobart cds. The correct charge should have been a double deficiency of 3d, and this is clearly a case of the shilling values being accidentally used instead of the pence values. The only such instance of which we are aware, and a clear demonstration of the need to differentiate the shilling values by the addition of a stroke, which did not happen until 1908-9. Very fine apart from the usual repaired spike hole, and the only recorded example of the 2/- postage due on cover (BW cat AU$1500)  | ||

1902-04 Base Completed Watermark Crown over NSW 5/- Dull Green Perf 12 x 11 irregular block of 54 cancelled 'PARCEL POST TOWNSVILLE/QUEENSLAND' cds affixed to sheet headed 'Townsville June 12th 1925' and endorsed 'Landing charges and Com Tax on 120 parcels £13-10-0'. One stamp defective and a few with small stains nevertheless an extraordinary and unique usage. A number of other (smaller) blocks used in Townsville in 1925-26 are known, and indicate the retention of stocks of this high value for over 20 years. For those who might wish the use of the 10/- or 20/- stamps instead of the 5/-, those two higher values were never sent to Queensland. A major rarity of the monocolour postage dues  | ||
