image Mint and Used Collections and Dealer Stock, 1915 to 1993, with thousands of mostly used stamps of Australia starting with Roos in 4 stockbooks, 6 binders with mostly manilla stock sheets and 1 Scott Specialty album. The collections range from sparse to partial sets (usually lacking the higher denominations) and the stock has as many as 20 or more of each stamp in manilla stock sheets, these mostly from the 1960s to 80s. One binder contains MNH stamps, souvenir sheets and booklets in black mounts on home made pages from 1980 to 1993, with good face value easily over AU$150. Also includes one 1997 annual collection, complete with stamps (face value AU$46.85). We saw some Australian States and Australian Antarctic Territory as well. There is much duplication in this lot, but also opportunity for varieties, papers, watermarks and postmarks, as we did not check for these. Our photos show only a glimpse at the contents, best viewed in advance for a complete understanding of the lot. (Image)

image 1900 1p Brown Olive and 2d Emerald Boer War Semi Official Set, both mint never hinged, fresh and with sheet margins, extremely fine. Geoff Kellow's Victoria handbook indicates that the sales of these were poor due to the huge (3sh) cost for only 3d of franking value, and only 4,500 sets were sold (with considerably fewer now remaining in mint, let alone VF+ condition). This set is most certainly one of the nicest sets in existence. Scott value given is for hinged only, and a considerable premium for NH should be added. (Image)

Overall fine to very fine, and a great opportunity for dealers or collectors wishing to fill holes. We have 387 photos on our website for those who cannot make it in to view. (Image)
