Welcome to Phoenix Auctions No.10, Saturday 26th November, 2011 Welcome to another large & great Phoenix auction. It will be a busy day with over 2000 lots to auction. Once again we are pleased to offer a very wide range of lots, over ⅓rd of the lots are non-Australian. and we have a significant array of cover lots. 2 big sections stand out. Firstly there is Rod Perry’s Australian State/Kangaroo commercial combination franking covers/stationery (see Lots (#978-1037), the most comprehensive collection of its kind ever formed. Rod is consolidating his many collections, and other specialized studies will be offered in forthcoming auctions. 2013 is the centenary of this important and historic transitional era of Australian Philately, and with two formerly dominant collectors (the other Kevin Nelson) having retired from the subject, the field is wide open for new collectors to participate. The second major group of covers is an extensive group of commercial air covers, generally, but not exclusively, to and from Australia, with many incident flights. There are so many we have made an entire section of inwards covers to Australia. This auction has the first selection of Ken Smithies’ Victorian postmarks. We know many collectors have been waiting impatiently for these to start being offered. Finally we have had 2 major consignments of Booklets from 1913 to 2009 with a comprehensive array of overprinted booklets and a surprising number of rare booklet panes on FDCs We take a lot of care to ensure most lots have an illustration in the catalogue and, as often as we can make it, the illustrations are on the page opposite the lot’s description. 75% of the lots are illustrated to help you get the most out of our catalogue. But to see scans from virtually every lot go to our website where there are over 4,000 individual scans available. That’s an average of 2 scans per lot!!

HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM OUR CATALOGUE
[These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.] 1. 2.
3.
4.
5. 6. 7. 8.
Firstly, we have the lot number. If it has a P after the lot number then the lot is illustrated in the catalogue. All lots have at least 1 illustration on our website, and many will have multiple illustrations. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g. V Used, Very fine. F Used, Fine G Used, Good H Used, Heavy. U Used,quality unspecified W Unused, no gum D Piece Cover, card or Postal Stationery S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots) * 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. 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 19th 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. The 5th column contains the general description of the lot and should be self-evident with one exception. When a catalogue value is extrapolated the value is followed by a ↕, e.g. $2000↕. Typical extrapolations are 40% of the catalogue value for hinged mint when the catalogue only provides values for MUH, 200% for MUH when the catalogue value is for mint hinged. 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. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description. The last column is the estimate. The reserve is almost always 75% of the estimate and bids below the reserve will not be considered. No GST is added to the hammer price. The vendors have accepted responsibility for any tax payable. 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 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

Four large even margins, tidy black MC, qualifies easily as SG’s very fine grading, perhaps even superb. Certainly as fine an example as we’ve seen for a very long time. 1840 1d Black Wmk Inverted [JA] nearly 4-margins with red Maltese cross, SG #2e, unfortunately soiled and badly thinned at left. A rare stamp. 1840 1d Black on Piece [PK], 3 clear margins, red MC, SG #2g, back shows script ‘Luzmore’ (presumably the sender). 1840 1d Black from Plate 2 [CH] with red MC, SG #2g, Cat £350.

Top margin shaved, others close (touching upper right), neat black MC, good colour. Scarcer than the SG-Spec catalogue value (20% over normal) might suggest. 1841 1d Red-Brown pair [QK-QL] on blued paper, SG #8, good margins all round, possibly regummed?, with minor blemishes on the face. Some fool has inscribed ‘1850’ in black ink on reverse however it is still a pleasant pair to look at. 1870 ½d Bantam Double Perf on 3 sides, Plate 5, SG #9, unusual. 1858-79 1d Plates SG #43-4 on SG pages, 135 of the 154 spaces filled from Plate 71 to 217 with mainly fine examples in far better condition than usually seen in these.

Off centre a bit low, minor perf faults, BN ‘116’ of Brecon Whitney Type A, some suggestion of cleaning, still a good example of a better shade. 1865 1/- Green Plate 4 [JJ] on thicker paper possibly SG #101b, Cat £300, off centre, neat virtually complete Irish BN ‘62’ of Belfast. 1867-80 Large Uncoloured Latters Wmk Spray 6d mauve (no hyphen) with wing margin at left, SG #109, Cat £600, light stain on face. 1867 9d Pale Straw Plate 4 [EC], SG #111, Cat £250, off centre, neat virtually complete BN ‘803’ of Dulverton (Somerset). 1867 10d Pale Red-Brown Plate 1 ‘BE’ left wing margin SG #114, Cat £350 (as normal).

Heavy-ish London District duplex possibly ‘76’ (New Cross), horizontal crease and light cleanable soiling, well-centred. 1878 £1 Brown-Lilac wmk Maltese Cross Plate 1 [JG], SG #129.
