1928 3d Kookaburra Miniature Sheet variety Imperforate, ACSC #133MSb, fine mint hinged. Cat $200,000, SG MS106ab, Cat ÂŁ90,000. This Miniature Sheet [5] from top right corner was from the unperforated sheet of 15 panes printed at the 1928 Philatelic Exhibition at Melbourne Town Hall and subsesquently presented to King George V for inclusion in the Royal Collection. It is reported that to facilitate the mounting of this item on to an album page, the right-hand vertical strip was removed and later came on the market as three single miniature sheet panes. This sheet appeared in a 1968 Stanley Gibbons Auction containing the collection of The Ameer of Bahawalpur and was purchased by Stuart and remained in his collection ever since. Of the other two remaining sheets, one is now part of The Australia Post Archival collection and the other stolen and purportedly destroyed in 1984. An outstanding opportunity to obtain this famous Australian Commonwealth item.
