 1851-55 QV Laureates with No Watermark Vertically Laid paper 1d deep orange-brown SG 49, huge marginal example from the base of the
sheet with margins close to enormous, over-inked numeral cancel fortunately largely off the stamp, Cat £475 Chris Ceremuga Certificate (2024) states "deep orange-brown (claret)" but it definitely isn't the claret shade. However, we do agree with his
statement that "...only a tiny percentage was on laid paper" and we consider such stamps to be significantly underrated. (Image1) (Image2)

 1871-1902 QV De La Rue Crown/NSW Watermark '36' 9d perforated colour trial singles on very thick highly surfaced ungummed
unwatermarked paper, in black, pale orange-red or deep violet, exquisite freshness. Superb proofs of this unissued design. Sold at our auction of 22.2.2013 for $2586 (Sale 179 Lots 1217-1219). 'Carrington' (Mark Dankin) had ten different colours.
They were misidentified as being related to the 1906 9d Commonwealth design, and sold for $5825. They were subsequently sold at our auction of 20.4.2015 for $13,055 (Sale 203 Lot 191). (3)
Basset Hull Vol II at pp244-245 states that a 9d denomination was requested in 1871. In fact, six sheets of a 9d value were printed on Wmk '2' paper but all were later destroyed. Basset Hull makes no mention of the 9d design; it may have been that
shown here; however, it seems remarkable that the creation of a new die and plate should pass without mention. Instead, a 9d surcharge was applied to sheets of the redundant 10d brown, and Hutson mentions a pair of 9d surcharge essays in the Royal
Collection. In 1876, De La Rue was requested to prepare a 1/- stamp, which is the same design as this 9d.
It has been suggested that that these 9d proofs were prepared in 1897, as they are on similar thick stock as used for colour trials of the 1897 Jubilee values. However, Basset Hull states those colour trials were produced by a "photo-mechanical"
process: presumably he means they were derived from the die, rather than struck from the die. These 9d proofs are not of a photographic nature. Could they have been struck directly from a 9d die that was supplied by De La Rue to NSW as early as
1871? (Image1) (Image2)

 1888-89 Centennial finely executed pencil sketch (49x44mm) of Captain Cook's First Landing Place at Kurnell featuring the Memorial
Obelisk erected in 1871, a fluttering Union Jack and the modest pier, on thin artboard (169x118mm), the board with minor blemishes but the sketch is superb. Ex Guy Hutson, where stated to be an unapproved essay for the 1897 Diamond Jubilee issue.
However, other essays for that issue are clearly related to Queen Victoria and most bear a 'TENDER BOARD/GPO' cachet. We believe it is far more likely that this was preliminary art for the 1888 Centennial Issue. (Image1) (Image2)

Lyrebird only. This is almost certainly the block included in the Australia Post Archives Sale No 1 (Lot 9). Ex John Bell (Goulburn): sold at our auction of 8.5.2013 for $4660 (Sale 181 Lot 1273). (Image1) (Image2)
