Stockbook collection with Sydney Views 1d with full margins & another defective example but with largely superb BN '74' (rated RRRR) of Callandoon and an apparently unused but too-good-to-be-true 2d, 2d No Whip SG 30a on piece with Laureate 1d probably neither of which belong, Plate I 1d & 2d on cover to Ireland but it's likely that neither of them belong, Laureates to 6d, a page of mostly dodgy Large Diadems, an alleged Perf 12x13 1d SG 171, later issues to 20/- x2, condition very mixed & lots of problems throughout. Caveat emptor!
