image 1854-57 Queen-on-Throne Lithographs Campbell & Co Stone 9 2d dull purple-brown SG 20b vertical Interpanneau Pair [U-X/E-I], margins close to very large with an 18mm 'gutter' between the impressions, a couple of minor imperfections, BN '2' cancels of Geelong. Rare and, technically, an important piece. Ex John Boker, Joseph Hackmey and Martin Frischauf - illustrated on the back of the catalogue - sold for €3465. RPSofL Certificate (2000) states "faded", with which we do not agree: in 'The 2d Queen-on-Throne Stamps of Victoria', Geoff Kellow & John Shawley state at page 97 that the preparation of Stone 9 utilised an intermediate stone that resulted in a loss of detail in the stamps, many of which were printed in dull shades, often characterised as 'drab'. Kellow & Shawley identify 13 such vertical inter-pane pairs, of which this is their Number 8, and the first of five from Stone 9. With the exception of one pair, all are cancelled at Geelong where the sheets of 100 - two panes of 50 - were not separated before being placed into the counter-stock, as was the case elsewhere.

image 1863-81 Laureates Emergency Printings on Tasmanian Double-Lined '4' Watermark 4d deep dull rose as SG 135 but with Vertical Marginal Watermark Lines Only and 'FOUR PENCE' Completely Omitted, light numeral cancel largely clear of the void area. Unlisted by Gibbons. Ex Gary Diffen: sold for £960. [The void was caused by a fault in the makeready blanket resulting in the value not printing. Geoff Kellow at page 163 states "...six to eight copies [sic] are recorded". [This is at least as striking an error as the Half-Length 2d with Void Corner or Value Omitted, both of which Gibbons do list, as SG 13d & 15d, priced at £22,000 and £15,000 respectively]

Ex Gary Diffen: sold for £420, an absurdly low price for such a rare & extraordinary franking.

Addressed to "Loughwes Cowes/Co Down", it has a 'DOWN/MR19/64' arrival b/s, then endorsed "Try Ballygowan/Belfast" with b/s of MR24/64 of both places, then "try Newtownards" with 'COMBER/MR25/1864' transit b/s & framed arrival b/s of MR26/64, unframed 'NEWTOWNARDS/MR27/64' cds across the Melbourne duplex, finally endorsed in red "Not Called for" & with another strike of the framed Newtownards cds of MY10/64, presumably returned but with no Melbourne arrival.
