 1924 KGV Single Watermark 1½d red & 2d brown marginal blocks of 4 with three very fine to superb strikes of 'PARKVILLE/1MY24/VIC.' cds applied centrally (not tied) on plain unaddressed cover ACSC 89y (SG 77) &
ACSC 97y (SG 78), endorsed "Ros. May 1924' [Rosenblum] at L/L in pencil, Cat $10,000 each. The ACSC states in relation to the 1½d red that "Four first day covers have been recorded. There are two in the ... Australia Post archival collection" and of
the 2d brown that "Two first day covers have been recorded". Neither entry mentions a combined cover with both values. Attributed to the famous collector Dr WP Heslop, from whose estate similar covers are known. We are unable to confirm that the
endorsement is in Heslop's hand, and due to a lack of any further provenance, this item is offered strictly 'as is' with a nominal estimate.Grade A
