Session 2 will commence no earlier than 2:00 pm The John Lancaster Trade and Commerce Exhibit This exhibit (Large Gold with Special Prize) was developed over 40 years and covers all aspects of the development of Australia as seen through the lens of Trade and Commerce. Amongst other things it examines, migration, importing, exporting and advertising, John has been an avid collector who endeavoured to get the best of everything that would assist his exhibit and this is very obvious in the following 234 lots, where there are such items as lot 946 - 1796 entire from Lieut David Collins, apparently unique in private hands and lot 1113 - 1833 entire from Western Australia. As the exhibit covers a broad ranging topic there are many lots that will interest collectors of other areas, including postmarks, postal history, postal stationery, postal rates etc. There is also much to interest the thematic/topical collector. Finally John has advised us that it is time for everything to go and he will therefore seriously consider any reasonable offer. 890

Hugh Freeman’s Barred Numerals of Victoria Hugh is one of the world’s great collectors of Numeral cancels, developing serious collections from many countries worldwide. He developed world-class collections of all the Australian Colonies with his pièce de résistance being Victoria. His collection of Victoria has surpassed all others by a considerable margin and it is with very mixed feelings that he has decided that it is time for others to be the proud owners of his many wonderful items. Hugh has decided to have a selection of his collection offered over the next year or so until everything has been offered. New selections will be offered monthly. The following 88 lots (and 7 lots of datestamps) form the first portion of these regular offerings. This auction contains a nice balance of sought-after rarities plus very fine to superb strikes of other highly rated cancels. Considering the overall quality of the strikes, often the best available, estimates should be considered conservative, with keenly contested items expected to far exceed their original estimate.

Michael Barden’s OAT Exhibit Onward Air Transmission (or Travel) markings occurred between 1940 and 1973 with greatest use between 1943 and 1946, peaking in 1945. The markings were applied to the top letter of a tied bundle of up to 60 letters and housed in open mail bags allowing the mail to be re-sorted en route and to be moved into other bags when necessary. The use of OAT markings was discretionary. Routes and methods of mail conveyance were continually changing during WWII due to the military situation. Most OAT markings were applied in London at the Foreign Section of Mount Pleasant Post Office which facilitated censorship, often providing considerable intelligence for the Allied War Effort. The section starts with a small selection of pre-cursor manuscript or 'AV2' markings (lots 1432-39) before the main body of OAT Markings commences (lots 1440-1539) with illustrations of each of the Heijetz Types between 'I' and 'XIX' included for reference. As stated above most OAT markings were applied in London with notable exceptions of Type XIII (lots (152122) used in Prestwick, Scotland for mail on route to Iceland and Types XV & XVI (lots 1523-29) used at the British PO in Tangier, Spanish Morocco. Cachets are usually in pale pink or red but are also seen in violet, black or occasionally in blue. Manuscript ‘OAT’ markings are extremely rare and there is only one example in the collection (lot 1540). ^iMurray Heifetz’s^i ‘OAT and AV2 Markings’ is thoroughly recommended and is published by the American Airmail Society. 1432
