1884-96 Large Stamp Duty Litho 15/- mauve, neat manuscript cancellation. Superb! [This is a rare stamp in any condition. In our experience it is at least 50 times scarcer than the ever-popular 35/-. Gibbons price it at £650 used, which must be for fiscal usage because no postally used examples exist]

Estimate AU$500
