IPSWICH: 1859 piece from a cover to a European destination with exceptional franking of NSW Imperf Diadems 8d dull yellow-orange SG 98 (large margins & superb!; Cat £1500) & 6d deep slate SG 89 (margins close - at right - to large) tied by light Rays '87', the 6d also tied by red 'LONDON/AU 9/59/PAID' transit cds, circular 'PD' (= Paid to Destination) handstamp at left also applied at London. An important & truly outstanding item, proving in-period use of the Imperf 8d in the Moreton Bay District & with impeccable provenance: Ex Alfred Caspary, Maurice Burrus, Lars Amundsen, Tomasini, Dr Wiggins, 'Manwood' & 'Carrington' (Mark Dankin): sold at our auction of 22.2.2013 for $2760. BPA Certificate (1964) as the then SG 126 & 120. [The "Carrington" registered outer with Imperf 8d golden-yellow sold for $12,650] Because of the existence of abnormally large perforated stamps in the same shade, imperforate examples of the 8d are very difficult to guarantee as genuine unless they bear dated cancels. However, in this instance, the large ample margins on all sides and the London cds pre-dating the issue of the perforated stamp, coupled with the long history of this famous piece, all leave no doubt as to its genuineness.
