 Commonwealth of Australia Essay 1902: Victoria 2½ d. dull blue, wmk. V over Crown, line
perf. 12½, an unused example overprinted "C.A." reading down in black. At a Postal Conference held in November 1900 (prior to the issue of this adhesive) and attended by the Colonial Administrations to discuss the State Post Offices coming under
Federal control, the suggestion was made that the stamps of each state be overprinted "AC" (Australian Commonwealth). The proposal was abandoned when it became apparent that the adhesive stamps of each state would not be interchangeable. Nevertheless
Essays were prepared, possibly in 1902, with "C.A." overprints (Commonwealth of Australia) in preparation for the proposed change. Fresh and fine, mounted at top and at base, part og. Illustrated in Brusden White 'Kangaroos' on page 1. Unique, cert.
Ceremuga (2022) BW CA5 = $ 3'500.rnNote: A total of just 7 Essays are recorded (see Brusden White page 1, copy included with the lot), two from Western Australia, one from New South Wales and four from Victoria. No examples are currently held in the
