135 Lot 419). Illustrated by Hamilton Croaker in his postmarks monograph where he states "...I have no reason to believe it is otherwise than genuine" and notes it is the only such Papuan marking he has recorded. Lee states that Ioma replaced Tamata
mid-1905 so any mail posted from Tamata after that date might well have received a manuscript cancellation. Goldmining. (Image1) (Image2)

 1901 commercial cover with printed address of a Sydney bookseller, BNG 2d cancelled with poor strike of the 10-bars 'BNG' cancel
(Lee #60; rated E) of Kulumadau (1) and almost fine strike of the rare unframed 'WOODLARK/SP8/----/BNG' cds (Lee 59 with inscription error (no 'S'); rated F; year slugs omitted) alongside, poor Samarai transit backstamp & very fine Sydney arrival of
SP27/01, horizontal & vertical folds and all-over aging. Kulumadau was on the north coast of Woodlark Island. PO late-1899; replaced by Bonagai 1.7.1905. Ex Roger Lee: sold at our auction of 9.11.2002 for $840. This is probably the earliest recorded
cover from Kulumadau with a BNG franking. Sir Robert Bear ran a legitimate bookshop but was also Sydney's most prominent purveyor of pornography.

 1902 commercial linen-lined cover-front to Perth (WA) with rare franking of BNG 1/- pair (exceptional centring, a little faded but
not oxidised, Cat £150+ x15+ on cover) tied by 8-bar 'B.N.G' cancel, fine 'PORT MORESBY/20MY02/BRITISH NEW GUINEA' cds at lower-left, red registration lines but not obviously registered, crease at lower-right and minor blemishes. Very rare: one of
the highest non-philatelic BNG Lakatois frankings known.
In February 1902, Robert Bunning established a stamp business called Hamilton Macrae, in Perth, specialising in granting loans secured against stamp collections, at exorbitant rates of interest. In 1910, one of his victims sued. The local 'Sunday
Times' commented on "the smellful & highly malodorous affairs of Hamilton Macrae..." We have not previously encountered this 'dealer'. The huge hardware retailer Bunnings, now owned by Wesfarmers, was founded in Perth in 1907 by brothers Arthur and
Robert Bunning. This seems like too much of a coincidence. (Image1) (Image2)
