Highly catalogued collection but the Classics are mostly defective or repaired - we love the Pelure Paper 1d that has been rebacked! - some obvious erasure of fiscal pen cancels & we expect inspection under UV light would rival the annual Christmas displays in the suburbs, Tablets 'SPECIMEN' 2/6d to £1, 9d Irregular Compound Perfs Perf 12½x12½x12½x12 and Perf 11x12x11x11 SG 256c & 256d both fine mint, a few with Monograms including 6d 'CA' very fine mint, condition variable & we haven't confirmed most of the identified scarcer perfs.  (400 approx) (Image1)

Estimate AU$1,000
