Collection / Accumulation of Mint Australia Postage Dues, with 99 stamps displayed on a double-sided black stock page. These were found in an old time small stockbook, and transferred over in the exact same order as the previous owner had them, so having not checked any watermarks or perforations, etc., we cannot attest to the order they are currently in. One complete set is described as Scott J86-95 ($179). The quality, however is overall fresh and fine or better, with a spot check indicating original hinged gum, with some never hinged. All stamps scanned online, should easily be worth our estimate. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans)

Collection / Accumulation of Mostly Used Australian Officials, with 14 large hole OS stamps, 465 small hole OS stamps and 88 overprinted OS stamps (for a total of 567 stamps) displayed on 4 double-sided black stock pages. All used except for three mint KGV issues. These were found in a scrawny old time small stockbook, and transferred over in the exact same order as the previous owner had them, so having not checked any watermarks or perforations, shades, etc., we cannot attest to the order they are currently in. The quality, however is overall fine or better (some having missing corners, etc. caused by the perforations). All stamps scanned online, should easily be worth our estimate, as the catalogue value is likely quite high. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (Scan 5) (Scan 6) (Scan 7) (Scan 8) (All Scans)
