 1960 (circa) large piece to a ship's passenger at Fremantle with 2d pair + 2/6d Aborigine tied by indistinct 'DOUBLE BAY' (NSW)
cds, redirected to France endorsed "2nd Class Air Mail" with 2d + 2/- Flower x3 + 5/- Arms affixed & tied by poor Fremantle cds. The rate is problematic. The lowest domestic Zone 4 parcel rate was 4/-. The domestic Merchandise rate was 5d up to 4oz +
3d for each successive 4oz: 2/10d = 34d, which doesn't rate-out. To France, 2nd Class air was 3/- per 2oz, which also doesn't rate-out. However, the airmail parcel rate up to 8oz was 14/-, which is the total postage here. Curious. (Image1) (Image2)

by Adelaide machine cancel, light '[SE]OUL/[KOR]EA' [South Korea] backstamp, endorsed in Korean on face and returned with US-type 'fickle-finger' handstamp in red, a few edge bends & blemishes. The rate was double 1/6d per ½oz South-East Asia airmail
letter. In Australia, it was assumed as being for South Korea. There was no mail service to North Korea, so the item was returned to sender. The first attempt we have seen to get Australian mail into North Korea. (Image1) (Image2)

 1965 (May 13) Navigators 10/- Flinders on Cream Paper, £1 Bass on White Paper and £2 King block of 8 (4x2, one with a small fault
at the base) tied to company cover endorsed "£17.10.0" by 'GRANVILLE/13MY65/ NSW-AUST' cds, repaired back-flap. An exceedingly rare and truly extraordinary item, that was for payment for Business Reply mail at the rate of 5d x700 + 1d fee x700. We
don't know of even an off-cover used block of 6, let alone a block of 8, of the £2. Ex Andrew Tan: sold at our auction of 1.9.2018 for $34,220. At the time of that sale, the £2 was unrecorded in the ACSC on cover, and unpriced thus. In the 2024 QEII
edition, it is now priced at $7500 for a single on cover in combination with other stamps.
NB: the Navigator 10/- & £1 were issued 26.2.1964 & the £2 on 26.8.1964. They were thus on issue for less than two years before being replaced by the Decimal $1 $2 & $4 on 14.2.1966. By comparison, the Arms 10/- £1 & £2 were issued between 3.10.1949
& 16.1.1950 and remained on sale for 16+ years. The £2 Arms is a rare stamp on any type of postal article but the £2 Navigator is like the proverbial hen's teeth. Rod Perry stated that only one other item franked with the £2 Navigator had been
recorded. That item has a £2 pair in combination with other stamps on a Business Reply envelope. (Image1)

 1965 (Aug 26) plain wrapper to London with Welded Products Ltd airmail label, rare franking of Navigators £1 Bass on White Paper
(?) + Bird 2/- Whistler tied by 'REVESBY/NSW-AUST' cds, roughly slit-open towards the base. Ex Rodney Perry and Andrew Tan.
NB: the £1 Bass on Cream Paper was issued 26.2.1964 & the White Paper version on 16.11.1964. They were thus on issue for less than two years before being replaced by the $2 Bass issued 14.2.1966. Compare this with the 16 year lifespan of the £1 Arms,
itself a very scarce stamp on cover, and you can appreciate why the £1 Bass is rare on cover. The ACSC prices both papers at $1250 on cover with other stamps, & $5000 for a solo franking. (Image1)
