 1857-59 Hillman Lithographs Imperf 6d golden-bronze SG 17, with a minor Pre-Printing Paper-Fold at lower-right, margins close to
large with fragments of the adjoining units at top & left, obvious lustrous sheen, light void-grid cancel, Cat £2500. Superb. Ex Martin Button (realised a jaw-dropping £67/10/- in 1946) and Lars Amundsen (Lot 628: described as "magnificent", with
which we readily concur). RPSL Certificates (1943) "It has a natural paper-fold" and (2024) unkindly calling it a "pre-printing paper crease". Sold at our auction of 11.7.2008 for $3725 (Sale 137 Lot 574). The superb 'Besancon' (I) example sold for
SFr3630. (Image1)

 1902-11 V/Crown 10/- with Frame Break at Left by 'A' of 'POSTAGE', unused; £1 orange-brown with Scratch Through 'N' of 'ONE',
Kalgoorlie cds well clear of the variety; and £1 orange-brown with Frame Fracture above 'ST' of 'WEST' and Break in Internal Frame to Upper-Left of 'P' of 'POUND', CTO with concentric circles; Cat $1050 for normal stamps. A very scarce trio. These
are all identified in a review of the WA section of the ACSC (2023 edition) in 'Black Swan' (Sep & Dec 2023) by Matt O'Neill & Arthur Tilby: see specifically pages 113-114. [This review should be read and absorbed by all collectors of WA stamps. It
highlights numerous mostly historical errors plus a plethora of omissions from the ACSC listings] (3) (Image1) (Image2)
