 10/- Dark Grey & Aniline Pink BW #50E(D)e variety Very short Spencer's Gulf [R12,R60], plus £2 grey-black & rose-crimson with unlisted vignette flaw Kangaroo with pointed tail [L52], 2/- maroon
(x2) and £1 Robes tied by Registered Melbourne datestamp to 1938 (Nov 7) parcel tag with Melbourne bulk registration label on reverse. This item was written-up by Rod Perry in a June 2013 Stamp News where he stated that it is
"the only example of usage of 10/- dark grey and aniline-pink I've recorded", which is unsurprising when you consider that the ACSC state at page 2/166 most of this printing was withdrawn and destroyed
following the issue of the 10/- Robes definitive in November 1938. [The tag is believed to have paid postage for a 442oz gold bullion shipment sent from Melbourne to California for refining, the rate of £3/14/- paying 3d for first oz plus 2d
x441 for each additional oz, plus 3d registration.] (Image1) (Image2)
