SOLD for $800.00
Will close during Public Auction
306 O 24ba image#24ba, 9p Violet, large "OS", horizontal strip of four, used on a large portion of a parcel post label, along with a horizontal pair of the 4p Orange with small "OS" punctures, tied by multiple strikes of slightly unclear "Brisbane/16.Sep.14" c.d.s., this 3/8p rate represents the interstate rate for a parcel weighing between 6 and 7 lbs, some faults to both stamps and label, still quite scarce and very exhibitable, as combination frankings of large and small "OS" stamps are most unusual (for used stamps A$600).

Will close during Public Auction
307 O 24ba/a image#24ba/a, 9p Violet, large "OS", watermark inverted, a used example of this enormously rare watermark error, being one of approximately six copies known, all of which are used and all have large "OS" punctures, fresh color, lightly cancelled, centered to bottom, fine for this; one of the rarest watermark errors of the entire Kangaroo series; this stamp, and the stamp offered in the next lot, were once a pair, this copy being the left stamp (A$10,000).

(Image) Est. 7,500-10,000

SOLD for $12,000.00
Will close during Public Auction

SOLD for $4,750.00

SOLD for $14,500.00
