 1901 QV Amended Designs without 'POSTAGE' V/Crown Watermark QV 6d emerald SG 380 block of 12 (6x2) from the upper-left corner of
the sheet, two upper units [Pos R1/4-5] with Cracked Electro from Queen's Hair through Right Value Tablet extending into the next unit from Left Value Tablet through Queen's Face to Right Frame ACSC V5d(var), the upper margin slightly trimmed, the
lower-right two units with a small perf reinforcement otherwise unmounted, Cat $255+ for one variety unit (see below) and eleven mounted singles (£168+ for mounted normal singles). A technically significant piece. RPSL Certificate (2024) states
"horizontal scratch", which is incorrect: the flaw is not straight, curving to follow elements of the design, and is clearly a 'crack'. Not recorded by Geoff Kellow. The ACSC-listed variety "Horizontal Scratch above Right-Hand '6' into Hair" has not
been plated and is based on seeing an example of the left-hand unit only. Both units together in this block provides clear evidence of a Cracked Electro, and plates the varieties. (Image1) (Image2)

 1852 (April 17) entire headed "Duplicate ... Melbourne Apl 17 54" to Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA endorsed "per Steamer Golden Age
via Panama" carried per favor with fine oval 'FORWARDED BY/ROGERS WARFIELD LORD &c/MELBOURNE' handstamp on the flap (only one other example recorded), very fine New York 'STEAM SHIP/20/Cts' handstamp on the face, minor restored blemishes. The letter
signed "John Anderson" to his wife includes "... I am about leaving ... tired of this Place and of the Proceedings [?] in it ...". Carried by the 'Golden Age' departing Melbourne 5.5.1854 via Tahiti to Panama City arriving 19.6.1854; by mule & canoe
across the isthmus to Aspinwall (later Colon), then per US Mail Steamship Co to New York. This voyage was the only trans-Pacific contract mail service before 1866. The ship carried US$200,000 worth of gold dust, but consumed so much coal that the
costs were ruinous, and the experiment was not repeated. Ex Dale Forster - sold at our auction of 21.5.2024 for $900 (Sale 256 Lot 1143) before being professionally cleaned - and John Barwis. (Image1) (Image2)

 1854 (Sept 27) buff envelope enclosing lengthy 6pp letter headed "Albany" [New York, USA] from his sister to "William F Christie,
Melbourne, Australia" with added note at left "He is probably in Ballarat, where he can be notified", endorsed "Per Express Adams & Co" & 'Collect" on the face; plus 1855 (Jan 30) envelope enclosing lengthy 3pp letter headed "Horse Heads Chimney Co,

carried privately outside the mails. Ex John Barwis.
