2 Page 2 PPA Preamble Welcome to Auction 114. With over 4,200 lots we have another large auction with a wide range of material for you to browse through. We wish you all a prosperous and happy New Year We always have a few books available for sale, see our full list on our website select Books for Sale from the left menus. A couple of newer books you might not be aware of are Bernie Manning s Queensland Numerals and Queensland Colonial Town Datestamps. Both cost $150 and are comprehensively illustrated, with all cancels having rarity ratings. While discussing books, Victorian datestamps collectors should be aware that, for a $55 per year subscription, they can access the entire Watson Webster & Wood database with all the datestamps that have currently recorded. This includes everything from A-Z. The database is continuously updated with new information and represents excellent value for money. To subscribe select Post Office Reference from the Reference Tools submenu. Then choose Australian Post Offices - Victoria and click on the subscribe link on the welcome line. Our auction starts with cinderellas, coins and literature. Our ever-popular Picture Postcard section follows. Remember that postcards are often placed in other parts of the catalogue so it is worth looking throughout the catalogue. If you have access to the internet please go to our website, and simply select Auction by Topic and then, from the extensive list of topics (about 250 different), choose Picture Postcards to see all the postcard lots in the auction; and all of them are illustrated. Australian stamps follow, with many Roos and Georgian Heads all the way through to modern decimals, including varieties, postal history, postal stationery etc. Within the KGV section are; 4d orange-yellow line through FOUR PENCE (#252), 4d violet cracked electro (#256), ½d green Large Mult pair with thin fraction (#272). 40c (#424) & $1 Navigator varieties (#426). Plate varieties abound throughout the Australian section of the catalogue, but particularly in the Georgian Head & Decimals sections. The Decimal section contains a number of large blocks with various Specimen handstamps used at the Post Office Training School, and there is a useful selection of overprinted decimal booklets. Amongst the Commemorative covers is a registered Govt Garden Fete (#651) and a number of Sydney Harbour Bridge covers (#1245-8). In the Postal History section there is a nice NSW registered cover uprated with a 1d Roo (#751). As usual the Australian Colonies/States section has a very good range of both stamps and postmarks, including a wide selection of numerals and there are 100s of datestamps from all states. This section also has a broad range of registered covers, particularly from NSW but also the other states. As you would expect there are very large selections of postmarks from Queensland and Victoria. Once again postmark collectors will have a field day. Some of the more interesting lots in the States section are NSW 3d Sydney Views (#875-6), 1 (#951), 1637 (#988), 1937 Leycester reg cvr (#1094), 1971 Stannifer reg cvr (#1194), 1906 Steve King s Plains cvr (#1196), 1882 Swallows Nest transit (#1228) 1913 Warre Warrel (#1254), QLD, 1 Chalon pair mint (#1299), 1885 Miriam Vale cvr (#1526) 1946 Mount Edwards (#1586), 1904 Mount Usher reg cvr ( #1630), 1969 Rosella reg cvr (#1699), TAS d brick-red mint (#1830), VIC 3d blue Half-Length roulette 5½ (#1986), /- Perf 11 mint (#2025), 274 (#2102) M31 (#2121) 1419 (#2131), 1842 (#2141), 2014 (#2148), 1902 Amherst mss (#2206), 1930s Bushy Parkt (#2534), 1937 Trafalgar West (#2935), 1936 Tudor (#2973), 1929 Turriff East (#3002), 1926 Turton s Creek (#3004), 1929 Tylden Ry Stn (#3017), WA 1902 Post & Telegraph Broad Arrow on Telegram (#3077).

While there is an obvious strength in Australian & British WWI & WWII material you will find much outside of these areas. To help with your specific collecting interests and to find the lots that interest you, we provide an extract service. This service saves you time and helps to keep our costs down. Simply provide us with your collecting interests. You can specify whether you just collect stamps, postal history or postal stationery, whether you collect mint or used, what periods you collect, what countries you collect etc. You can be quite detailed. In nearly all cases we can provide an extract which is well matched to your collecting needs. The most effective way of bidding is to use our secure website However you can always use the printed bidsheet that comes with the catalogue and fax or mail it to us, you can also phone your bids through if you prefer. We take bids any way they come. David, Cathy & Keith. Auction :00am Sunday 12th February 2012

3 Auction :00am Sunday 12th February 2012 Page 3 HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM OUR CATALOGUE [These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.] 1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and underlined, the item is illustrated: e.g (The actual location of the illustration is given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.37} is position 37 on page 41.) 2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g. W Unused, no gum D Piece ( Postmarks lots) * Cover or card A Albums and accessories L Literature P Proof S Stamp ( Postmarks lots) or, in the case of used stamps, covers & Postal Stationery a grading of the cancellation: V Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear F Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design G Untidy or indistinct postmark H Heavy or poorly struck postmark 3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from A to D. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded A is very fine; it has no faults. B items are fine and may have minor imperfections. A C item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated D. Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated A+. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition. An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an A-. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an A- or B is a matter of degree. 4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading Postmarks. For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter A to D relates to centring. A stamps are very well centred; B stamps are slightly off-centre; C stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; D stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design. [NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19 th Century American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus C, and even D, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a B stamp will be above-average and an A stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.] Following the letter A to D is a number 1 to 4. A stamp with all perforations intact is 1. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the grading to 2. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a 3 grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a 4. [NB: A stamp graded A1 is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many issues, B2 or even C3 may be normal and quite acceptable.] For lots listed under the sub-headings Postmarks and Ship/Paquebot Markings, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike, and completeness. Quality is graded from A (very fine) to D (poor). Completeness is graded from 1 (complete) to 5 (identifiable only). + is used for superb strikes; - is used for postmarks which are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark. 5. The 5th column contains the general description of the of the lot and should be self-evident, however the following notes apply specifically to postmark description. Whenever possible postmarks will be described in full, except that the top portion of a postmark is only spelt out when it differs from the post office name or requires some clarification. Bracketed shaded text within a description indicates that these characters cannot be read, while greyed characters are hard to read or are only partly present, as is the case when part of the postmark is on the edge of a stamp. Very large or small letters are represented by large and small fonts respectively; small fonts are particularly used to indicate the presence of small nylon wheels in the datestamp. The following example illustrates these points: '[POST] OFFICE/ 21DE86 /GARAH'. For postmark lots the condition of the postmark is the most important aspect of our descriptions. Minor defects in the stamp or cover are mentioned only when the value of the item is significant. Naturally, major defects will always be described. 6. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description. 7. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 80% of estimate. Bids below this level will not be considered, except lots which have an estimate of $5 or less when bids below the reserve may be considered at the auctioneer s discretion. 8. Australian residents will have GST added to the hammer price of all lots. 9. We use the following standardised abbreviations: o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s) PPC picture postcard cnr corner blk block impt imprint mtd mounted provl provisional wmk watermark LDL large dateline (postmarks) SDL small dateline (postmarks) TLC,TRC,LLC,LRC Top Left Cnr, Top Right Cnr, Lower Left Cnr, Lower Right Cnr
