Presti�e Points #126<br />
1. Yes, two catalogues for two sales on the one day. Because our<br />
“Two Vendors” sale is of material that we routinely feature it seemed<br />
sensible to hold it on the same day as our general auction.<br />
This General <strong>Auction</strong> #126 will commence at our usual time of<br />
1.00pm. We expect #127 to get under way at 5.00pm and it will not begin<br />
any earlier.<br />
Please note that this sale begins with Lot 1, while #127 begins at<br />
Lot 2001. This will minimise any confusion between the two catalogues,<br />
and means you can place your bids for both sales on the one bidsheet.<br />
If you are a fan of our (in)famous Supplementary Lots, these will be<br />
offered at the commencement of <strong>Auction</strong> #126 at 1.00pm sharp. There<br />
will be no “supp” lots offered prior to the “Two Vendors <strong>Auction</strong>”.<br />
2. As already indicated, there is some overlap between the two sales.<br />
If you are interested in pre-Decimal Australia, the Australian<br />
Colonies/States, or the Pacific Islands, you will find relevant material in<br />
both catalogues.<br />
Discover all lots in which you may be interested by utilising the<br />
Cross-Reference Listings at the beginning of both catalogues. This<br />
facility is far and away the best and most comprehensive offered by any<br />
firm in the world. It is truly amazing to me, therefore, how few people<br />
seem to use it as a matter of course.<br />
If you collect Switzerland, for instance, you will easily find a really<br />
excellent array of material listed under “Switzerland”. However, unless<br />
you make use of the Cross-Reference List, what chance is there that you<br />
would find Lot 351 which is hiding under Victoria?<br />
This sale includes a special section of more than 200 lots of<br />
“Registered Mail of the British Empire”, from Lot 704. You can readily<br />
access this material by country, or you can quickly check all relevant<br />
entries in the Cross-Reference Listing. If your principal interest is<br />
registered covers you will have a ball in this one-vendor section. But you<br />
might miss many of the 48 other registered covers in the sale, all of which<br />
are itemised under “Registered Mail” in our Cross-Reference Listing.<br />
We put significant time and effort into this little tool and it would be<br />
nice to think that it received a lot of use by a lot of clients. Never used it?<br />
Give it a go: you may be very pleasantly surprised.<br />
3. At <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong>, we’re always looking for ways to make our<br />
operations more relevant and user-friendly. A good example is our<br />
Special Interests Register. Last year we started including illustrations in<br />
the personalised catalogue extracts that are sent to hundreds of clients<br />
every sale. Those clients can now choose to receive that same<br />
information, much faster and in colour, by e-mail.
Page: 4<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> - <strong>Auction</strong> No 126 Mar 10, 2007<br />
That’s just one of the many client benefits that flow from registering your e-mail address with<br />
us. We also provide automatic advices when we receive your bids and again if your bids are<br />
exceeded. You receive a reminder notice a couple of days before each sale, and your<br />
results immediately after the auction closes.<br />
The cost to you? Nothing! Along with free catalogues, it’s part of our total benefits<br />
package for all clients. But if you don’t have an e-mail address or haven’t given it to us, then<br />
we can’t provide you with our best level of service.<br />
4. Pardon me for pushing the technology barrow a bit more. In the past year or so we have<br />
had a series of catalogue delivery problems both in Australia and overseas. It’s very<br />
frustrating for us and we have twice changed carriers in an effort to obtain the best service<br />
possible. But it’s more frustrating when a client says “The catalogue arrived after the sale<br />
and I’m really annoyed because I would have bid on such-and-such.”<br />
Every one of our auctions is loaded onto our website even before the hard-copy<br />
catalogues have been printed. We send out a broadcast e-mail to advise that this has<br />
been done. The on-line catalogue actually includes more information (such as reserve<br />
levels and many more illustrations) than we can include in the printed version. Now we even<br />
offer you a “virtual catalogue” that is the next best thing to viewing the printed catalogue.<br />
Individual pages, even the entire catalogue, can be printed by you for no cost.<br />
So, even if our physical delivery system fails you, you need never again miss that<br />
elusive item for which you would have given your right arm.<br />
5. Many clients won’t be aware that before Christmas we ran a small on-line literature<br />
auction using our subsidiary website www.philatelybooks.com. We sent out the usual<br />
broadcast e-mail, accepted bids for just a few days, and achieved a very pleasing result for<br />
buyers and sellers alike.<br />
Yes, we will be doing it again but probably only once or twice a year. And, yes, you will<br />
need to be on-line to participate.<br />
I hope this message is reaching the people who have been stoically resisting buying a<br />
computer etc. Yes, Dad, I’m talking to you too. If you are a modern-day Luddite, your<br />
reluctance to plug into the worldwide web will cause you to miss out on more and more<br />
opportunities.<br />
Remember when your fax machine, answering machine and mobile phone were all “newfangled<br />
gadgets”? Be the next of a regular stream of clients to send us an e-mail announcing<br />
“This is FANTASTIC! I don’t know how I ever did without my PC!” We’ll all just smile<br />
knowingly.<br />
6. By the time you receive this catalogue I will be on my way to New York. My first time<br />
ever in the “Big Apple”, and I must confess I’m rather excited about it. Of course, I’m going<br />
for the auction of Arthur Gray’s phenomenal collection of Kangaroos. However, I’ll also be<br />
catching up with a few clients and making my first (obviously) visit to the Collectors Club, of<br />
which I have been a member for a few years, on the evening of 21 st February.<br />
If you’re at either event, please make yourself known to me. I’ll be very pleased to meet<br />
you.

Understandin� our Symbols & Unique Gradin� System<br />
At <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional categories that you should be<br />
aware of. We are the only major firm in the world that actually grades the quality of the material we offer. While some clients<br />
have struggled with the whole concept of grading, most have clearly embraced the idea and we receive much favourable comment<br />
about the system. It is important that you understand our Grading System because the symbols used form part of the lot<br />
description. We are confident that once you are comfortable with our gradings, you will always be satisfied with the quality of the<br />
material you purchase from us. And, in the event that we have missed a tear or a thin and consequently overgraded an item, we<br />
WANT you to return it. We stand behind the <strong>Prestige</strong> Grading System.<br />
1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and bright red, the item is illustrated. (The actual location of the illustration<br />
is given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.37} is position 37 on page 41.)<br />
2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot:<br />
** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g.<br />
Ω Unused, no gum or regummed Δ Piece<br />
C Cover or card PS Postal Stationery<br />
CL Cover, long CX Cover, oversize<br />
A Albums and accessories B Booklet<br />
E Essay L Literature<br />
P Proof R Reprint<br />
S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots)<br />
or, in the case of used stamps, a grading of the cancellation:<br />
V Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear O Used, quality unspecified<br />
F Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design G Untidy or indistinct postmark<br />
H Heavy or poorly struck postmark<br />
3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from ‘A’ to ‘D’. The same standard applies to mint and<br />
used stamps, to covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine and may<br />
have minor imperfections. A ‘C’ item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated ‘D’.<br />
Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated ‘A+’. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern<br />
material, which one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition.<br />
An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an ‘A-’. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge<br />
remainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck<br />
together. A book may have a previous owner’s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree.<br />
4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading ‘Postmarks’.<br />
For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ relates to centring. ‘A’<br />
stamps are very well centred; ‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the<br />
perforations slightly into the design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design.<br />
[NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19 th<br />
Century American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even<br />
‘D’, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a ‘B’ stamp will be above-average and an ‘A’ stamp will be<br />
considered an exceptional copy.]<br />
Following the letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ is a number ‘1’ to ‘4’. A stamp with all perforations intact is ‘1’. One or two short perfs, or normal<br />
rough perforations, will drop the grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed<br />
will result in a ‘3’ grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a ‘4’.<br />
[NB: A stamp graded ‘A1’ is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the<br />
norm. However, for many issues, ‘B2’ or even ‘C3’ may be normal and quite acceptable.]<br />
For lots listed under the sub-headings “Postmarks” and “Ship/Paquebot Markings”, this column gives a grading for quality of<br />
the strike, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’ (complete) to ‘5’<br />
(identifiable only). ‘+’ is used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks which are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit<br />
short of the mark.<br />
5. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.<br />
6. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. (If a lot attracts tax for Australian buyers, the estimate is<br />
in green, follwed by a small "T".) You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 75% of<br />
estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step). Bids below this level will not be considered.<br />
7. We use the following standardised abbreviations:<br />
o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) PPC picture postcard<br />
d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp<br />
mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date<br />

<strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> - <strong>Auction</strong> No 126 Mar 10, 2007<br />
Presti�e <strong>Philately</strong> - Public <strong>Auction</strong> Terms of Sale<br />
(amended as at 1 st October 2005)<br />
1. AUCTIONEER: <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> (<strong>Prestige</strong>), a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the auctioneer, and adheres<br />
to the standard terms of sale of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association.<br />
2. DESCRIPTIONS: We endeavour to describe lots fully and accurately. The description of a lot comprises 1) the codes to the left<br />
of the description; 2) the description; and 3) any illustration of the lot or part of the lot. (The various codes and symbols are<br />
explained on the previous page.<br />
3. ESTIMATES: The figure in the right-hand column following each lot description is the starting price of the lot in Australian<br />
dollars. A bidder - may bid at, above or below the estimate. Bids below the reserve price (usually 75% of the estimate) will not<br />
be accepted. There is no reserve on lots listed at $20 or less.<br />
4. BIDDING: Bids may be made to <strong>Prestige</strong> by mail, by fax, by e-mail or by phone. Bids received by phone must be confirmed in<br />
writing. At public auctions, bids may also be made in person, by phone (by prior arrangement) or through an agent attending an<br />
auction. An agent must advise <strong>Prestige</strong> of the person(s) for whom bids are being submitted or else the agent will be personally<br />
liable for payment and delivery of any lots purchased. <strong>Prestige</strong> reserves the right to refuse any bid, or to refuse bids from any<br />
person, for any reason.<br />
In most cases, <strong>Prestige</strong>'s bidding steps are as follows:<br />
$150 - 300 $10 rises $3000 - 5000 $200 rises<br />
$300 - 500 $20 rises $5000 - 10000 $250 rises<br />
Under $30 $1 rises $500 - 750 $25 rises $10000 - 15000 $500 rises<br />
$30 - 50 $2 rises $750 - 1500 $50 rises $15000 - 30000 $1000 rises<br />
$50 - 150 $5 rises $1500 - 3000 $100 rises over $30000 average of 5% rises<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> reserves the right to raise or lower postal bids (depending on the bidder's apparent intention) to conform to these<br />
bidding steps.<br />
5. TELEPHONE BIDDING: Bidding by telephone during the course of a public auction is permitted. However, clients wishing to<br />
use this service must contact <strong>Prestige</strong> at least 24 hours before the auction regarding the special conditions that apply. [To see<br />
these special conditions, go to www.prestigephilately.com from where the Telephone Bidding Terms can be read and<br />
downloaded.]<br />
6. GOODS & SERVICES TAX (GST): Australian law requires that GST equal to 10% of the knock-down or sale price of a taxed<br />
lot shall be payable by the buyer, unless the taxed lot is exported to another country. Taxed lots are indicated in the catalogue<br />
by the estimate figure: being printed in bright green, followed by a small "T". GST equal to 10% of the amount of any fees or<br />
charges added by <strong>Prestige</strong> is also payable by Australian buyers.<br />
7. BUYER: The buyer of a lot shall be the person to whom the lot is sold ("knocked-down") by <strong>Prestige</strong>. In the event of equal bids<br />
being received, the earliest such bid shall be successful. In the event of a dispute, <strong>Prestige</strong> shall have absolute discretion in<br />
the settling of the dispute.<br />
A lot is at the buyer's risk once it has been sold ("knocked-down") but ownership (legal title) will not pass to the buyer until<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> has received payment in full for the lot.<br />
8. PAYMENT: Payment is due immediately a lot is sold, or immediately upon receipt of an invoice. For public auctions only, in<br />
addition to the price for which a lot is sold, the buyer shall pay a premium of 15% of that price, plus any fees for postage<br />
packing and insurance or credit card use that are charged by <strong>Prestige</strong>, plus GST as appropriate. No buyer's premium is<br />
charged or payable in respect of postal auctions. (Payment should always be made in Australian dollars. If payment is made in<br />
another currency the buyer shall add the equivalent of $A50 towards bank fees, any resulting credit being placed to the buyer's<br />
account.)<br />
In the event that the buyer does not make payment in full for the lot(s) within 30 days from the date of the invoice, <strong>Prestige</strong><br />
shall have the right to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:<br />
1) To impose an accounting fee of $10 per month (or part thereof) plus compound interest at the rate of<br />
2.5% per month (or part thereof) of the total amount outstanding;<br />
2) To terminate the contract with the buyer, in which case any monies received from the buyer shall be<br />
forfeited to <strong>Prestige</strong>;<br />
3) To terminate the contract and resell the lot(s) at any time, in which case any resulting shortfall, plus<br />
costs including accounting fees, interest, insurance and resale expenses, shall be met by the original<br />
buyer;<br />
4) To apply any monies due at any time from <strong>Prestige</strong> to the buyer in payment of the outstanding<br />
amount;<br />
5) To take legal action against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.<br />
9. RETURN OF LOTS: A lot may be returned, within a reasonable time, only because of an error in the description: see clause 2<br />
for the definition of "the description". A lot that has been inspected by the buyer or by the buyer's agent cannot be returned for<br />
any reason. A lot that is illustrated in the catalogue or of which an illustration has been supplied to the buyer or to the buyer's<br />
agent cannot be returned for any reason that is apparent from the illustration.<br />
A lot expressed to be a "range", "group", "selection", "array", "collection"," accumulation" or similar, or any other lot containing<br />
more than 10 items - excepting sets of stamps - is always offered "as is" and cannot be returned for any reason. Similarly,<br />
other lots offered "as is" cannot be returned.<br />
10. "EXTENSIONS": A request for an extension to submit a lot to a recognised expert or expert committee for a Certificate of<br />
Authenticity must be made in writing prior to or on the day of the auction. <strong>Prestige</strong> shall have an absolute discretion not to<br />
grant an extension. (In particular, an extension will not normally be granted if the lot is offered with a recent Certificate of<br />
Authenticity.) If an extension is granted, the buyer must make payment in full for the lot including the buyer's premium, in<br />
accordance with the terms of Paragraph 8. The amount paid including the buyer's premium will be refunded in full if the lot is<br />
returned with an acceptable "bad" Certificate. All costs associated with obtaining a certificate shall be borne by the buyer,<br />
unless the lot is found to be not as identified in the catalogue, in which case all costs associated with obtaining the Certificate<br />
shall be refunded to the buyer.<br />
A lot described as being defective in any way may not be returned should the Certificate obtained mention any fault not noted<br />
in the lot description. The buyer shall not be entitled to reject an item if the certificate includes any findingt that does not<br />
materially affect the grading of the lot.<br />
Unless otherwise agreed, nomination of the appropriate expert or expert committee shall be made by <strong>Prestige</strong>, and <strong>Prestige</strong><br />
will be responsible for submitting the lot to that expert or expert committee. Should <strong>Prestige</strong> agree to the buyer's nomination of<br />
an expert or expert committee, the extension granted will be for a period of no more than 90 days from the date of the<br />
auction. If a Certificate has not been obtained within 90 days from the date of the auction, the extension shall lapse and<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> may thereafter refuse to accept the return of the lot.<br />
11. GOVERNING LAW: These Terms of Sale shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of<br />
Victoria.<br />
12. Submitting a bid by any method constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these Terms of Sale.

Lot Type Grading Description Est $A<br />
175 C C 1924 (July 8) commercial cover to United States with rare franking of Engraved 6d Kookaburra (Cat<br />
$2500 on cover) + KGV 1½d red-brown tied by 'REGISTERED/SYDNEY NSW' cds, red registration<br />
label & 'A.R'-in-oval h/s, American 'US CUSTOMS/FREE OF DUTY/...' h/s in purple, damaged<br />
(apparently in transit) & repaired with archival tape. [The rate was 3d for the first ounce + 1½d for each<br />
additional ounce + 3d for registration. The Avis de Reception fee was a further 3d, which was not paid<br />
in this instance]<br />
176 C B - a very similar cover of 23SE24 except for the absence of the 'A.R' h/s which would seem to confirm<br />
that it was applied in error to the previous item, minor peripheral faults repaired with archival tape but<br />
the condition is far superior to the previous lot.{Page 24.2}<br />
177 CL B 1926 cover endorsed "per aerial Mail" with scarce franking of Third Wmk 6d brown & 2/- maroon +<br />
KGV 4½d all cancelled on arrival with 'MRR/GPO/PERTH' cds. [The rate was 1½d per ounce + 3d<br />
airmail per ½oz so this letter weighed 4½oz]<br />
178 C B 1930 registered cover to Sarawak via Singapore (b/s) with scarce solo franking of Small Multiple Wmk<br />
4½d tied by Hobart cds, red registration label, poor Kuching arrival b/s, minor blemishes.<br />
179 CL C 1933 Melbourne College of Divinity cover with printed 'CONFIDENTIAL: EXAMINATION QUESTIONS'<br />
registered at Carlton to Red Cliffs with two strikes of the rare triple-oval 'MONEY ORDER OFFICE/<br />
10MAR1933/RED CLIFFS' arrival b/s (the only recorded examples) one tying 'This envelope should be<br />
opened in the presence of...' label, a few faults. A remarkable item.<br />
180 C A 1941 cover to Red Cross in Geneva with very fine 'Services Prisoners/of war. Camp No 11' h/s used at<br />
Kellerberrin (WA) & very fine boxed 'RISPONDETE A/SCRIVETE CHIARO/GPO BOX P1218/...'<br />
cachet on reverse.<br />
181 C/CL A/B 1942 (Jan-Feb) covers from a Sydney firm to Java, each with 3½d on 3d & fine to very fine 'NOT<br />
TRANSMISSIBLE/SERVICE SUSPENDED' h/s in violet. (5)<br />

well]<br />

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA - Commemorative Covers<br />
185 CPS A/A- 1937 AIF Golf Day The Mail PPC of the FPO van and a KGV 1½d Postal Card - a rare usage of the<br />
Very Thin Stock - with a similar but more interesting photo showing operations of the PO affixed to the<br />
reverse (which technically should have attracted postage due), both with the FPO No 1 cds. (2)<br />
186 C A 1938 Re-Commissioning of HMAS Albatross printed cover with KGVI 2d (fault) tied by Sydney cds<br />
& boxed 'POLICE OFFICE/11JUL1938/HMAS ALBATROSS' d/s in violet, 'DARWIN NT/AUSTRALIA'<br />
arrival b/s. [Australia's first seaplane carrier]<br />
COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA - First Day Covers<br />
187<br />
C Album with a pre-decimal collection of little moment but includes some scarcer private types & a few<br />
unaddressed. (150 approx)<br />
188 C A 1913 Kangaroo Fred Hagen plain cover with 1d red Die I tied by a large-part strike of the unusual<br />
machine cancel common to all Hagen's First Day Covers but unfortunately with the day '2' missing to<br />
right of the time '5 50PM'. However, the 'NORTH MELBOURNE/VIC' cds is fortuitously on the face and<br />
clearly dated '915A 3JA13' which provides proof that the cover must have been serviced in Sydney -<br />
1000km away - on the previous day. Possibly the finest of the surviving covers, most of the others<br />
having significant tonespots. [The ACSC states "at least 11" FDCs are recorded, of which three are in<br />
instututional collections, and prices FDCs at $12,500 each. This example, while 100% genuine, is<br />
however offered at a far more modest estimate because the Sydney date is incomplete]{Page 24.4}<br />
COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA - Flight Covers<br />
189 C A 1934 (Oct) England-Australia MacRobertson Air Race commemorative cover carried by CWA Scott &<br />
T Campbell-Black AAMC #433, registered at Melbourne for return to England, autographed on reverse<br />
"CWAScott", Cat $900+ (2002). [A very similar cover sold for $977 at our auction of 18/11/2006]{Page<br />
24.3}<br />
190<br />
C* ROCKET MAILS: Brian Farmer's 5-frame exhibit awarded Vermeil at Aeropex 2004 and including<br />
sheetlets AAMC #R1a, R2a, R3a, R4c, R5c, R7b, R9b & R10b plus covers from all except the first<br />
flight - a couple being autographed - plus the Jubilee flimsies in blue/blue & red/yellow. The "pioneer"<br />
era occupies 1½ frames & is followed by an array of covers from 1964 to 1977 (after which the series<br />
was interrupted for 10 years) including Bell Rocketman #R12 (Cat $600) & R13 ($500). With one<br />
exception the later Woomera flights are not recorded by Eustis so this apparently comprehensive<br />
collection of mostly illustrated covers, many of which are autographed, is a valuable reference.<br />
Generally speaking the quality of the collection, which concludes with a selection of 1969-75 balloon<br />
flight covers, is very fine throughout.{Page 24.5} (116 items)<br />

each at auction in Sydney]{Page 63.1}<br />

631 ** A A1 2006 Kapa Haka (Maori Culture) 45c to $2 complete matching marginal set from the base of the<br />
sheets each with Brownstone/Leisure Group Ltd imprint, unmounted. The most controversial stamp<br />
release of recent times. [We say "release" because New Zealand Post cancelled the issue only days<br />
before they were to go on sale on 7/6/2006, but had already sent out a number of mail orders to private<br />
individuals. NZ Post then "requested" their clients to return the stamps and claim that two naive souls<br />
had actually done so! Based on statements made by NZ Post the "best guess" of Kiwi stamp dealers is<br />
that about 480 stamps in all were "released". But that includes a roll of 100 self-adhesive 45c, and a<br />
further 110 of the 45c in booklets. That leaves 250 stamps which might be construed as 50 sets of the<br />
five values, as offered here. In fact, our vendor states that there are 46 mint sets of 5 (three sets being<br />
in presentation packs) accounted for, plus a further 12 sets on First Day Covers and a single CTO set.<br />
In real terms that is a miniscule number. By comparison, as many as 500 of NZ's 1996 Teddy Bear<br />
error made it onto the market. They retail for $NZ4-5000 each. Of the Christchurch Exhibition 1d claret,<br />
120 were issued. Fine examples sell for $NZ20,000+. By reference to these figures, each of the Maori<br />
stamps is twice as scarce as the "Claret" and 9 times scarcer than "Teddy". On that basis, we consider<br />
our vendor's reserve of $A13,500 for the set to be very sporting. To the best of our knowledge, this is<br />
the first offering of these stamps outside of New Zealand]{Page 63.2}<br />
Taxed lots are indicated by a small ‘T’ after the estimate.<br />

Valuable collection, with inspection sure to delight.{Page 70.5} (40 items)<br />
C Large carton with a collection of mostly philatelic covers in albums plus a quantity of loose material<br />
with an array of commercial mail including with Seated & Standing Helvetias, an excellent range of<br />
WWI military mail, official covers, registered, airmail, postage due etc. Heavy. (100s)<br />
C Outrageous accumulation of mostly stampless military covers from WWI, WWII and between the wars<br />
with an extraordinary array of military cachets. The later material includes many covers with Definitive<br />
adhesives some overprinted 'Official' some of which have Express labels etc. The quality generally<br />
seems to be very fine. This is obviously a very extensive and probably comprehensive collection but it<br />
will take hours to even put it into order. Our guess is that there are over 1000 covers so this must<br />
represent an excellent opportunity for a new interest or to give a huge boost to an existing collection.<br />
{Page 70.7} (1000+)<br />
PS POSTAL STATIONERY: Unsorted collection with a good range of early Envelopes with some uprated,<br />
Postal Cards include many 1909-15 commemorative issues plus many later scenic issues, also<br />
Nachnahme Postal Cards, PTPO Envelopes, 1914 Bern Exhibition 5c 10c & 25c Lettersheets etc,<br />
some uprated and better usages noted, some duplication, condition mixed but many are fine to very<br />
fine unused or used. A good lot. (240)<br />

REGISTERED MAIL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE -<br />
[This collection was put together over the past five years or so, applying the motto "No cheapies!" which has to a large degree been<br />
maintained. However, as is often the case with broad subjects, the vendor discovered he had bitten off more than he could comfortably<br />
chew. His decision to concentrate on the local region has given us the opportunity to present his non-Australasian material to you. We<br />
decided to make a separate section of it rather than list it throughout the catalogue under the individual countries. In this way, the<br />
collection retains a sense of cohesion that we hope will result in other clients embracing "registered mail" as a collecting subject. It is a<br />
fascinating and visually stimulating field that we commend to all prospective buyers]<br />
