Idiosyncratic collection of primarily Kangaroos to 6d and mostly low-denomination KGV Heads including postal stationery cutouts, numerous official & commercial perfins, also some South Australia including Revenues, Railway Stamps & Cinderellas (some we haven't seen before, & see Lot 305746), USA range, a smattering of British Cinderellas & other oddments, all affixed in an album completed by the 1920s with most pages arranged to create patterns!, plenty of postmark interest and sure to be loads of varieties (we noted on p93 1½d red Die I with a Large Diagonal Flaw through the Lower-Left Value Tablet). Fascinating, and likely to prove to be a goldmine. [Instructions for use: 1) dismember the album; 2) immerse the pages in a bath of water; 3) remove the floated-off stamps & dry face-down on blotting paper or similar; 4) enjoy weeks of breathless anticipation of numerous 'finds'] See also Lot 333.
