On several occasions in this column, I’ve professed a fondness for slogan cancellations, rating them the best value for money postmarks in philately. Australia was the third country in the world to introduce slogan cancels, just over 100 years ago, when on November 8 1917 “HELP TO WIN THE WAR / BUY WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES / ELIGIBLES ENLIST” was introduced at the G.P.O.s in all States, and at eight larger post ny Red collectors will be familiar with this Figure 1. “KEEP AUSTRALIA SAFE ENLIST NOW” cancel, and later derivatives. cinating study, which I highly recommend. However, it is thanks to the well known S.A. sent me scans of his inspirational one-frame exhibit on the subject, and kindly gave permission for its use. I’ve arranged the various cancels in this series in the order in which they appeared. cel, Figure 1, appeared in January 1939, prior to raise 70,000 recruits, in response to Japan’s aggressive expansion in to Asia. In general use for over two months. Figures 2a-b were to publicise and promote “We of the A.I.F.”, Imperial Services, edited and narrated by Captain G.D. Mitchell M.C., D.C.M.

SPANISH CIVIL WAR STAMPS In 1936, the Spanish forces in Morocco under the command of General Francisco Franco revolted against the democratically elected government in Madrid. They were soon joined by other military leaders in continental Spain and the ensuing civil war lasted until 1939. General Franco’s rebellion received strong support from conservative and fascist politicians, wealthy landowners and industrialists and the Catholic Church. Aid was also provided by neighbouring Portugal but mainly by Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy. Especially the German air forces paid a decisive part in the war. The Republican side was supported by the International Brigades composed of volunteers from many parts of Europe. They were mainly young men with socialist ideas. The Soviet

Certain parts of Spain joined Franco almost immediately while other regions remained drid and Catalonia were some of the regions which gave strong support to the republican cause. During the war, numerous towns and villages on both sides issued local “postage” stamps which in many cases were obligatory on mail in addition to regular Spanish postage stamps. Others were mainly released in order to collect funds for suffering people – orphans, widows, unemployed. There were hundreds of issuing entities producing many thousands of stamps some of which were rather primitive type-set labels while others featured local scenery or famous

Several local stamps were issued by the capital city of Málaga including the illustrated one (Fig. 1) featuring the Gibralfaro ruins. This particular stamp was then used by 103 small towns and villages throughout the province to produce their own stamps by simply adding the name of the locality ranging from Alameda to Yunquera. In the example shown nearby, the stamp has been overprinted to be used in Alameda. charity stamp was issued featuring local scenery (Fig. 2). This type of design is of particular interest and many localities used their stamps to promote their own region.

To make the acquisition of local stamps, some printers offered key-types where only the name of the locality needed to be added. For the province of Málaga, one of these key types depicted a speeding train on a bridge with an by was printed for Villanueva de Tapia. Many other towns and villages in Málaga used exactly the same design (Fig. 3). All these stamps were printed by Imprenta Fin de Siglo in Málaga.

It is interesting to note that the wording included CORREOS ESPAÑA suggesting some sort of The simple typeset labels of Cañate La Real (Fig. 5) were obviously also produced by a local printer as were many other similar stamps from other localities in the province. Not all local councils ordered their stamps from local printers. The town of Antequera had some of their stamps printed in Germany (Fig. 6). This demonstrates the close ties between Nazi Germany and General Franco’s Nationalist administration.
Fuente de Piedra issued a number of stamps in support of soup kitchens set up for those who were unable to provide for themselves. Ayamonte in the nearby province of Huelva ran a similar scheme also issuing stamps. In a rather strange move, an unissued Ayamonte set was overprinted for use in Fuente de Piedra ( 7). The set also included a souvenir sheet. During my travels in the province of Málaga, I have visited some of the towns and villages which released stamps of their own during the civil war period. It is really quite interesting to collect many of these interesting stamps which

85 years in the making... Well known Dunedin (NZ) dealer Don White recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Dunedin Stamp Centre in a novel way – by issuing a set of postage stamps designed 85 years earlier by his father! His late father, Jim White, was a prominent Dunedin architect, with an interest in aircraft - having joined the Royal Flying Corps towards the end of WWI. This was following 3 years attached to the British Red Cross in France and Italy. He also had an interest in stamp collecting, so when, in Feb. 1932, designs were invited by the Postmaster General for a new series of air mail stamps, he decided to submit an entry of three different designs. The oval designs each contained an aircraft with Mt. Cook in the background (3d), with Wellington Harbour (5d), and with Mt. Nguauruhoe (7d). Each entry included a large black pen & ink design, with 6 stamp sized colour trials. “The number of designs required was not to exceed three, and a reward of £25 was to be paid for each. When the public competition closed on May 31st there were 219 drawings from 75 persons” (RPSNZ “Postage Stamps of NZ” Vol. I page 452). Three other entrants’ designs were selected, but none of them reproduced well in stamp size, so the proposed issue was abandoned. Don still owns the original artwork, so decided to incorporate them in a series of three CALS. These are NZ Post produced Customised Advertising Labels where anyone can utilise their own design or logo in a generic stamp that is fully postally valid. The three $1.20 CALS were issued on September 28th, in carmine, violet and blue (the same colours as the 1935 air mails). There has been a printing of 600 sets. Subject unsold, they are available from Don at Dunedin Stamp Centre. PO Box 776, Dunedin 9054, NZ. Email: dunedinstamps@gmail.com Sets of 3 selvedge blocks of 4 cost $NZ30, plus postage. Credit cards welcome.

The foreign ministers of the two nations were supposed to meet at the recent United Nations General Assembly in New York. Shortly after the meeting was announced, India cancelled it, citing the recent release of a series of 20 postal stamps by Pakistan “glorifying terrorists.” According to the new-issue announcement from Pakistan Post, the 20 stamps were issued July 13, Kashmir Martyr’s Day. The new-issue announcement said, “13th July is the milestone in the history of the Kashmir struggle for freedom. On this day in 1931 21 Kashmiris had dom of Kashmir from the clutches of despotic Dogra rulers.” Each stamp is inscribed “Atrocities in Indian occupied Kashmir.” They include images of victims of alleged chemical weapons, pellet guns, “fake police encounters” and “braid chopping”, scenes of general abuse and pictures of Kashmiri protests. One stamp carries a picture of Burhan Wani, a popular Kashmiri militant leader killed in 2016, and describes him as a “freedom icon”. A line in Urdu text running down the left side of the stamps reads: “Kashmir will become Pakistan.” Pakistan’s National Security Printing Co. printed 20,000 panes, and according to a BBC report , they are selling well, especially “after the spat over the stamps hit the headlines.” back to 1947, when the two nations gained their in-

Reported at www.correos.es Story contributed by Stampboards member DJCMH If there is one Spanish scent that awakens our senses, it’s the aroma of Iberico ham. And the aroma of ham pervades a new Spanish mini sheet with two stamps celebrating the Protected Designation of Origin of Ribera del Duero and the Protected Designation of Origin of Guijuelo. The stamp on Iberico ham shows pigs ranging
freely in the countryside. Acorn-fed pigs spend their whole lives in large open spaces. This gives them their good musculature, with plenty of marbled fat. The “Guijuelo” Designation of Origin was granted in 1986. Although it takes its name from a town in Salamanca province, the pigs are reared and the ham is produced throughout Castile and León and in three other regions. The stamp is completed by a foreground image of a slice of Iberico ham, intensely coloured and with the classic marbling, which combined with the aroma suffusing the stamp makes it good enough to The stamp on wine shows a grapevine toasting a glass of wine. There is archaeological evidence that the Vaccaei people of the Duero area consumed wine some 2,500 years ago. It was given its Destination of Origin status in 1982.
Laurels for letter from Larnaca Reported at https://cyprus-mail.com
A 13-year-old Cypriot girl was awarded a gold medal by the Universal Postal Union after a letter she wrote for the 47th International Letter Writing Competition for Young People was chosen as the best one among more than a million participants. Chara Phoka, a pupil from Larnaca, received the gold medal during a ceremony at UPU’s Berne headquarters this month. The ceremony was held on World Post Day, which aims to raise awareness on the international postal sector’s role in the lives of people and businesses, as well as its contribution to global social and economic development. The theme of this year’s competition was, “Imagine you are a letter travelling through time. What message do you wish to convey to your readers?” “With my letter, I wanted to give a voice and an identity to refugee children and give meaning to their lives,” said Chara. “I wanted to express the way young people feel about instaI hope that my letter sends a timely

message that we need to solve these problems, not just for young people but for everyone.” Chara’s letter tells the story of a letter written following a violent event and how the letter is forced on a journey, travelling from Afghanistan, to Syria, Turkey and During its perilous travels, the letter changes hands several times: from its author to a young refugee who dies in a harsh in a positive ending, to a relative living abroad. Over 1.2 million young people between 9 and 15 take part in the competition each year.

Celebrating bringing good to the world Reported at https://news.un.org
Marking World Post Day, the United Nations has highlighted the importance of the postal sector not just for delivering mail but also “delivering good to the world”. “Resilient postal systems offer support during natlions of people; and essential information in times of crises,” Secretary-General António Guterres said in a message commemorating the International Day. “This network, through its international treaties and emphasis on universal service, is a constant voice for multilateralism and force for sustainable development. It also promotes literacy and education for children.” globe, the postal sector is still one of the world’s
largest logistical networks and a vital centre of community life everywhere. Private citizens and businesses rely on the service’s affordable, reliable and unparalleled physical delivery network to send letters, parcels and remit“In the current digital age, the post has positioned itself as a major player in global e-commerce,” he said, noting that the sector’s “one global network” approach makes it an “obvious delivery partner” for businesses selling online. “Customers choose to do business with the post based on its track record of being trustworthy, reliable and affordable,” he added. According to UPU, postal service is particularly important for small and medium-sized businesses seeking to expand into international markets, given its affordability and ease of use. For big e-commerce operators, physical mail is often the “last-mile delivery” service. “This is because the Post not only has the largest physical network even within individual countries, but is also the only reliable service for delivery to remote and marginalized communities.” Marked annually on 9 October, World Postal Day celebrates the anniversary of the establishment in 1874, of the Universal Postal Union, in the Swiss Capital, Bern.

In the US – paying more to bring good to the world Reported at https://www.businessinsider.com.au
The US Postal Service has proposed a price increase of 12.3% for its lightweight parcel select service. Non-lightweight parcel select prices would increase by an average of 9.3%. The proposed price hikes would go into effect in January 2019 if they are approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission. This move would greatly impact Amazon. President Donald Trump has openly criticised Amazon’s dealings with the Postal Service for months, arguing that the e-commerce giant is taking advantage of the USPS. The US Postal Service says that the price hikes aren’t a response to Trump’s criticism, but that they represent an effort to keep the USPS competitive. Parcel select is used by Amazon, as well as companies such as FedEx and UPS, for “last-mile” mandate to deliver mail to Americans make it an “The Amazon Washington Post has gone crazy
against me ever since they lost the Internet Tax Case in the U.S. Supreme Court two months ago,” Trump which they use, at a fraction of real cost, as their ‘delivery boy’ for a BIG percentage of their packages.” In April, Trump ordered the formation of a task force to investigate the USPS and what he called its The USPS reported a net loss of $US2.7 billion on $US69.6 billion in revenue in 2017. Raising prices on shipping packages is seen as one way to address this problem. Since Amazon is one of the USPS’ biggest customers in the package-shipping business, Citi estimates that raising prices could cost the e-commerce giant billions of dollars. However, Amazon isn’t the only company using the parcel select service. Higher costs will also be a blow to companies like FedEx and UPS.

Kangaroo 10/- CofA Dark Gray and ANILINE Pink - Superb Used: The final Emergency printing of the 10/- Roo, as the 10/- “Robes” should have been issued then, but production “teething” issues with the new Chalk Faced paper they were using on that was holding up its release. Dr. Kellow notes in ACSC these Roos were destroyed when the Robes were issued. So a small run of 10/- Roos were printed, which in this case used the wrong ANILINE pink ink. Which “glows like a Volcano” under UV light! ACSC 50a, Cat $1,250 for average used. THIS one is as good as these come.

Great Britain 1847/54 EMBOSSED Imperfs, Complete Set of 3 under 10% of SG!: More attractive than usual trio set, bought in an old Estate today. These stamps were crudely produced, as most know, by using a hand held embossing crimp and creating EACH impression in each separate hand movement. A tedious process and few were done or sold. ZERO care was given to placement, and as multiples show us, the margins very often overlapped - often by several mm, which look terrible. The 10d and 1/- had 2 vertical very thick silk/cotton threads embedded into the paper on the stamps. These often split the stamps into 3 sections. Also, PO clerks with much idle time hanging on their hands in deserted offices, very often cut them totally to shape, snipping off the corners to even them up - as evidenced by the many covers bearing those. Lastly early collectors often did the same as the printed albums of the time show the design only so snipping the corners off fitted the album. So, many on the market are split in 3 and crudely re-joined by hinges, or far more often are cut to shape copies made over the past 150 years, that were glued onto a square of yellowed paper that look vaguely like 4 margins copies, and of course they sell for peanuts. These 3 are all SOUND USED copies – especially for 160 years old. No thins, no silk threads splits, no added corners! A very decent set to fill 3 gaps in albums near always empty. Corner crease on 1/- and all with nice crisp embossing. SG 56 £1,000, SG 57 £1,500, SG 60 £1,000, = £3,500 = $A6,500 - Estate special to clear at WAY under 10% of SG - just $A550 (Stock 391JA)

Postal Stationery Welcome to the postal stationery column for November 2018. This month’s column looks at a new postal stationery issue and new pictorial postcards from Australia Post, Machin Postal Stationery and news from postal stationery competitions at recent exhibitions.
Domestic Postage with Tracking
Australia Post introduced two new postal stationery envelopes in August 2018 (Figure 1). The new envelopes are for a ‘Domestic letter with tracking’ Service and come in DL and C4 sizes selling for $2.20 and $5.25 respectively with discounts for bulk purchases. The new service is Figure 1 ‘Domestic With Tracking’ Stamped Envelope being trialed from 20 August 2018 to 31 January 2019 and tracking. The service provides the same tracking as articles sent by Registered Post with the key difference being a scan on delivery rather than a signature on delivery.
Pictorial Postcards
Three new pictorial cards depicting views of Brisbane (Figure 2), Melbourne and Sydney were issued on 25 September 2018. The Sydney postcard with a view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the reverse (Figure 3) commemorates the Invictus Games, an international sports event for wounded or injured armed services personnel and veterans held in Sydney from 20-27 October 2018.

Postal Stationery 7p and 10p envelopes were issued with either one or two phosphor bands as the postage rates changed. The period 1971-1982 saw many postage rate increases which together with the envelopes being issued for 1st and second class mail services resulting in 16 different denominations being issued from 1971 to 1982. In 1973 the 3p embossed envelope was revalued to 3½p by overprinting with a double ring with ½p in the centre and ‘POSTAGE PAID EXTRA’ (Figure 7). Registered envelopes with the Machin Head design were issued to cover the postage and registration fee in 1970, with decimal currency envelopes being issued design (Figure 8) with later issues produced by letterpress. Three sizes were issued for the inland rate (G, H, K). As for the other class of stationery the many postage rate increases from 1971-1984 resulted in many different denominations of registered envelopes. 3/- and 15p registered envelopes were issued in 1970 and 1971 for the international use. From 1971-1984 a series of registered envelopes were issued for use to members of the armed forces overseas (Figure 9) at reduced rates. These are inscribed ‘FORCES OVERSEAS’. In 1982 Lettersheets were issued which were known as ‘Postnotes’ in the UK. These lettersheets had a Machin Head design but were non-denominated with the stamp inscribed ‘Post Paid’ (Figure 10). This design was extended to envelopes in 1983 (Figure 11) but was replaced by a ‘Post Paid’ design with the Machin Head in an octagonal border in 1991 and to a Machin Head design without order but surrounded by ‘POSTAGE PAID POSTAGE PAID’ arranged in a circle around the portrait in 1995 with ‘either ‘1st’ or ‘2nd’ on the right indication the postage service paid (Figure 12). The current stamped envelopes sold by Royal Mail are essentially of this design. Registered envelopes were issued with non-denominated stamps from 1993. Aerogrammes using the Machin Head design (Figure 13) were not issued until 1972 when a 6½p aerogramme was issued with an unframed Machin Head and the value. This design was used until 1981. Aerogrammes with a non-denominated stamp were issued from 1988 and include a wide variety of commemorative and Christmas aerogrammes including issues with text in Welsh (Figure 14) and Scottish. using Machin Head designed impressed stamps which was extensively used.

Cinderella Corner Farming And Agriculture In Australia – Part II Welcome to the November edition of Cinderella Corner. This issue continues and concludes the philatelic landscape covering farming and agricultural labels associated with Australia, with all scans of the nine different labels kindly provided by juggernaut collector and cinderella enthusiast Dave Elsmore. Some of these labels are rich and vibrant and help to further identify the different areas associated with farming and agriculture nationwide, including some communities’ post World War II efforts in the face of food shortage. Along with those covered in October’s edition, it is hoped that some collectors will unearth other similarly-themed labels, which surely exist, and offer scans to thereby help continue this rich narrative on farming and agricultural practices in Australia over the years. Austin Trucks Australia has a sound history embedded in farming practices and many rural and semi-rural areas herald heavy farming trucks, industrial machinery and equipment; these extend to those of older ones of yesteryear, cradled in the land of farm owners, to more contemporary and commercial machines utilised today. One category of such beloved trucks and machines belong to the Austin family, and the label illustrated in Figure 1 provides an example. It measures 85 x 60mm, is imperforate on all sides, and presents the text: It’s Harvest Time with AUSTIN TRUCKS – YOU ALWAYS INVEST IN AN AUSTIN. Coloured red, blue and cream, the cinderella highlights an Austin truck in agricultural movement. The
Figure 1 32 - Stamp News
Austin Motor Company, where the truck originated from, was a manufacturer of British motor vehicles and established in 1905 by Herbert Austin, who was born in 1866 and died in 1941. Some years after it formed, in 1934, the Adelaide based company Commercial Motor Vehicles distributed a range of Austin cars, trucks and tractors, and many of these vehicles sourced and restored by vintage automobile collectors today. Austin trucks, like the one illustrated in Figure 1, were produced by the company from World War II onwards and were at a peak in the 1950s, from which the label likely dates. Austin also produced several Australian cars from the 1950s to the 1970s and exported trucks to Australia during this time, too. Produce More Food The immediate years following the end of World War II saw many countries depleted of resources and several nations were entrenched in escalating poverty. Many organisations were then formed to help address these needs, promoting awareness and raising much needed funds. In July 1947, one such organisation, the ‘Producers’ Council’, was formed in Perth, Western Australia. This council was supported by several agricultural bodies across the State, including the Farmers’ Union, the Agricultural Department, and Pastoralists’ Association. The Producers’ Council’s aim was to encourage greater production of food in rural areas, in an effort to curb world starvation following World War II. One campaign by the Council was the production (following a slogans’ competition) of thousands of ‘stickers’ to send to rural areas nationwide, with the help of businesses in Perth, ers’ Council and its purposes. A total of 6 different cinderella labels were produced, in blocks of 6, and three of these labels are illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. All three of these labels present the text: produce MORE FOOD The WORLD IS HUNGRY / SPONSORED BY PRODUCERS “GROW MORE” CAMPAIGN COUNCIL. The label in Figure 3 bears some additional overprint text, which helps to further extend and localise the Council: sponsored by Producers “Grow More” Campaign Council, Economics Chambers, Perth, W.A. This label highlighted in Figure 3 is a likely a later print. It is also known that the labels were sent from July to September that same year and a

Figures 2 & 3 review of the progress of the campaign then followed. All of the labels are multicoloured, measure 42 x 56mm, and are perforated 11 on all sides. The two labels in Figure 2 illustrate a suckling pig, and groceries (including vegetables, lemon butter, a can of choice peaches, and tomato juice). The image in Figure 3 presents a pair of sheep. The remaining three labels in this set contain similar agricultural motifs, including cattle, more groceries, and an Australian farming landscape. The ‘Produce More Food’ labels are scarce. If a reader has a complete block illustrating the six different cinderellas, I would welcome a scan.

The cinderella illustrated in Figure 5, coloured black and bright green, offers near identical text, with the exception of the and replaced with an ampersand: BE READY FOR TILLAGE & SEEDING / PLACE YOUR PARTS / ORDER NOW! coloured i) blue and black, and ii) orange and black, present the following text: BE AHEAD AT HAY AND HARVEST TIME / ORDER GENUINE IH PARTS NOW!

Conclusion The farming and agricultural setting in Australia in embedded in a rich history that continues today. From raising awareness to promoting a range of products and services, the labels explored across this and last month’s part of the Australian backdrop, both historically and contemporarily. I once again thank Dave Elsmore for providing all of the scans in this month’s piece. If any reader has other farming and agricultural cinderellas to share, please let me know.

Addressed to James Hogan MP. James Francis Hogan MP (29 December 1855 – 9 November 1924) was an Irish history professor at University College Cork, author and Member of Parliament for Mid Tipperary 1893–1900. Born in County Tipperary in 1855, to Rody and Mary Hogan, he had one sister, Margaret. The family emigrated to Melbourne in 1856, when he was at the age of 1, and lived in Geelong, attending St. Mary’s Catholic School there, before a year at St Patrick’s College, Melbourne. He graduated and began to teach in 1872. He began writing in local newspapers on Catholic topics, before later editing the Victorian Review. Joining the Victorian Catholic Young Men’s Society in 1884 he admired the legacy of Daniel O’Connell and campaigned to erect a memorial to him. He published works on the Irish colonisation of Australia, including “The Gladstone Colony: An Unwritten Chapter of Australian History and The Irish in Australia” in the late 1880s. He then returned to England, and in 1893 was elected unopposed to the House of Commons as MP for Mid Tipperary. He served as secretary of the Colonial Party under Sir Charles Dilke. Following retirement as an MP in 1900, he moved to Ireland to teach at the University

1938 2d Scarlet KGVI Complete Plate “3” Gutter Block 8. Cat $2,500 for just $A1,250.
Superbly fresh unused Gutter Block of 8, absolutely outstanding centering for this issue, showing a 100% complete Plate No. “3”. These plate numbers were rare freaks, where the printer mis-guillotined the large master press sheets, down into PO sheets of 160. And he occasionally left parts of plate numbers, when his final trim aim was a couple mm out, leaving a wider than usual top margin, on some sheets that reached PO’s. Only a tiny number of the recorded plates exist, hence the huge ACSC figure. Often only HALF - or even less, of each plate number was on the issued sheets. Super fresh - and now 80 years old. Never seen or had this one before, in 40 years of dealing. ACSC 188zb, cat $A2,500 as mint hinged. Complete numbers are a huge premium on these KGVI issues. IMPOSSIBLE to find a better looker. Only $US900 or - $A1,250 (Stock 347RB)
GB 1867 £5 Orange QV attractive “SPECIMEN”: Totally free of faults. Cat £4,500+ just $A2,250! Twin
Anchor watermark, which shows superbly, white paper, handstamped ‘Specimen’ in SG Type 9 font. THE one stamp missing from near EVERY collection of GB on this planet. I see one copy each decade or so. Excellent perfs and centering for these terrors. This stamp is totally without fault - fresh flat unused, with NO usual thins, creases, tears or foxing/toning, that one always sees on these totally GIGANTIC stamps issued 151 years ago. Clean as a whistle on the back, and NO usual hinge remains, or gook or age gunk etc, to hide thins or tears, so common on these biggies. Interestingly, the SG Specialised Cat tells us that these stamps were printed with TWO passes through the presses, at different times. There was a £5 “TELEGRAPHS” (SG T18, Cat £30,000!) and a “POSTAGE” version, otherwise identical, and either word was printed separately in the top box. The darker orange later print of that “POSTAGE” and the side ornaments shows well here! In NON Specimen mint, this is SG £14,500, so this one is the only realistic option for most GB collectors. SG have now started listing all Specimens in the “Concise” cat, meaning demand is high, and prices are hardening, due to that. SG 137s cat “From £4,500” = $A8,500. Will sell very FAST, at UNDER $US2,000 as I type - $A2,750 (Stock 732KRL)
Monaco 1885 Prince Charles III, 5 Franc:
MEGA Rarity - UNDER 20% SG cat at $US1,075!: This 5 Franc Carmine on Greenish paper, is one of the rarest non classic era stamps from Europe. Only a tiny print run of this super high value, and even used copies cost $1,000+. This stamp is the £5 Orange QV of Monaco - indeed of all Western Europe! 100% sound mint original gum - no hinge remains either, to hide thins or repairs etc. Expertised on reverse, and also has my guarantee that it is 105% genuine, and 105% free of repairs or hidden faults etc. Yvert #10, Cat 4,380 Euros = $A7,150, and SG #10, Cat £4,250 = $A7,800. Usual centering for this issue, and nice colour as you can see. A totally sound original gum Western Europe Rarity, missing from near EVERY collection on the planet, yet priced at under 20% of SG, as very well bought, from an ancient Estate! (From a wonderful MONACO Collection I bought today up to 1980s, which is near complete mint and used inc Mini Sheets and sheetlets and Airs - let me know what you need, indeed I’d be happy to on-sell it as received, for a very low price.)

The totaled about £15,000, more than the total sales of the 1942 issue. The success of the 1943 designs led to the decision to feature the princesses again in 1944. The design was wholly created by Bradbury, Wilkinson and incorporated the kowhai, a New uniform in a portrait from the Dorothy Wilding studio. The sheets of 120 (ten rows of 12) were printed on Royal Cypher paper from plates numbered 1 and 2. The comb perforations gauged 13½. The stamps were on sale from 9 October 1944 to 28 February 1945.

Introducing the Australian Philatelic Federation My Final Column After many years of writing a monthly column this will be my last column, as a new Philatelic cer was elected at the Annual General Meeting of the Australian Philatelic Federation in September. The new PDO will be Stephanie Bromser from Victoria and I wish her the best with the monthly column. Writing a monthly column can be a lot of fun at times and at other times it can be hard to come up with a suitable topic, but I hope you have found some interest in the column. Remember we are always interested in receiving feedback and/or ideas for new columns. Australian Philatelic Federation AGM At the APF AGM held on 7-8 September all of the incumbent executive were returned except for PDO. John Moore from Newcastle remains as President, Peter Allen from Hobart is Vice President, Ian McMahon from Canberra is Secretary, David Figg from Adelaide is Treasurer, Gary Brown from Melbourne is the International Immediate Past President. In addition, there is usually an observer at meetings from any State without an executive on the APF. The AGM is a positions held by ten people, the FIP Commission delegates (the Australian representative on the different exhibition class commissions of the FIP) and the APF convenors for non-FIP classes (Polar, Cinerellas etc) to get together with the Executive to discuss issues of interest or concern. They join 54 - Stamp News
Figure 1 with the seven State Council delegates (which are the members of the APF that elect the executive). As discussed in a previous column all these people (except the Executive who have their own regular board meeting) get together at the State Council Forum and Sunday Soviet. One of the important discussions and demonstrations this year was the replacement for Showman. Showman was the APF database and program used to run the exhibiting side of exhibitions. It was an Access database developed by Hans Karman from the ACT, which stored results and produced all the output needed for an exhibition – exhibit listings for the catalogue, judging sheets, collated results, cates (and exhibition envelopes), and more. It has been an important aspect of exhibitions for many working due to changes in the basic software. The two main functions of the software have been split with the exhibition end split from the database. Johanna Stafford from WA has reworked the exhibition package in Microsoft Word and Excel. The database will be reworked in Access by Peter Allen. This split should allow us to keep the major functionality of the previous system but reduce

Figure 2 some of the complexity for new operators in the jury room. Australian philately is lucky to have people like Johanna and Peter who will do this work at no cost to assist all exhibitors, with special thanks to Hans Karman for all his work many years ago. The State Councils’ Forum had 28 items listed on its agenda for discussion and I believe the majority were discussed at some level. I won’t list all the topics discussed but some of the more salient were as follows. There was a lengthy discussion on converting the old 15 sheet frames (which are held all over Australia and used for one-frame exhibitions) to 16 sheet frames. This would be a very useful thing to do as the 15 vs 16 sheet frame issue is a problem for exhibitors in Australia who then go international. It involves rotating the frame through 90 degrees, changing the interior board and also changing where the frame opens plus changing the lugs that hold the frame in place. It is not a simple task but if a way can be worked out it is worth looking at. Another interesting topic was
the issue of the transfer of exhibits at half-nationals (where half the exhibition classes are offered) to a class that isn’t offered. This is a tricky situation which luckily rarely happens. At recent half-nationals the jury has decided to put together a team to judge in the right class and still award an appropriate medal. It was pointed out that this approach could be abused by an exhibitor, but the general consensus was that this was unlikely and that such transfers would remain a rarity. The perennial issue of synopsis was raised, and I don’t know how the discussion went in the room, but it is APF policy not to accept synopsis. The APF believes that all relevant information should be on the title page (which is an important part of treatment) or scattered throughout the exhibit. The use of computers to type out critique sheets was also discussed and was approved of, at the meeting. This has been trialled in both Australia and New Zealand and judges and what they judged being listed in the Palmares document was discussed and thought to be a good idea. An important topic was how to address the trend in shrinking club membership. This topic new members through service clubs (talks at Rotary etc) and giving lectures at the University of the Third Age etc. An important approach would Stamp News - 55
Introducing the Australian Philatelic Federation be to mimic Australia Post and try to target 40-55 year old’s as they will have the time and money (and hopefully interest) to get involved. I would argue that the other way to ensure continuity of the hobby is to make sure clubs survive. Clubs often fall over, not so much because of a lack of members, but because no-one wants to take on a committee position. In general, it is not hard to run a stamp club with a good President, secretary and treasurer and a few other committee members. The workload is not onerous but if you haven’t done it before it can seem daunting. What the APF has had in the past was an Executive Development Program (EDP) where prospective executive members for the APF were chosen from across the States. Then about six people would come together for a weekend with some senior people (who had been or were on the APF) to get training on what was involved in running the APF. Two of these were run in the 1990s and provided a pool of people for positions on the APF. I and a number of others who were or still are on the APF came through this system. It may even be time for another EDP course. However, perhaps a similar course could be run in each State to assist to develop committee members for stamp clubs. After such a course, I feel sure many individuals would be much more willing to become committee members. Overall the weekend of the AGM went well with some wonderful catering by the ladies at SAPHIL House in Adelaide. The other major event of the weekend was the Australian Philatelic Order Awards Dinner on the Saturday night. Australian Philatelic Order Awards Bill Fiora and Richard Gurevitch AO are the two recipients of the 2018 Australian Philatelic Order Research Award. They are shown in Figure 1 with Richard Gurevitch on the left, Bill Fiora on the right and the current APF President John Moore in the middle. There are a number of long-established awards for philatelic research and writing within most State and specialist Societies which are, however, restricted to members of those Societies. The Aus56 - Stamp News
tralian Philatelic Order recognizes eminent philatelists who have rendered distinguished service to Australian philately across many areas including Services to Organised Philately; Distinguished Philatelic Study and Research including Judging; and Promotion of Philately and Public Dissemination including Teaching. Philatelic research and study therefore only represent thirty per cent of the assessment in deciding the merit of these awards. a Research award are people, both professional and collector philatelists who have devoted much of their philatelic life to their writing and study, limiting the time they can contribute to the other aspects of philatelic life in Australia. There is a particular value to the Australian philatelic community in those people who research and record is also a special talent in conducting this research and in making it available to other collectors successfully. This is the reason that the Research award was added to the APO awards. The Award can go to any Australian researcher for a signifcountry. International authors can be awarded for research which focusses on Australian philately in its widest sense. Bill Fiora Bill is the author of numerous articles for publication in the Australian Commonwealth Collectors Club (ACCC) of NSW Bulletin and the British Society of Australian Philatelists Bulletin (BSAP) since 2009 covering all new discoveries from personal research of the Australian KGV 1½d stamps.

[2013] Congratulation to Bill Fiora for his dedication to Australian Philatelic Research. Richard Gurevitch Richard Gurevitch is a doyen of Hong Kong philately and has undertaken much research on early Hong Kong stamps, together with their usage on cover. Richard has re- searched and written three books on the Queen Victoria stamps of Hong Kong. An early booked called Hong Kong Stamps of the Queen Victoria Period – “A Collector’s Notebook” in 1993, then a two-volume book titled Hong Kong: Postal Adhesives Volumes 1 & 2 in
2001, and most recently Hong Kong: Franked Covers of the Queen Victoria Period. In addition, Richard has an update on the 2001 work almost ready to print. Richard has also produced 24 articles on Hong Kong stamps, all based on his own research of the stamps. Much of the research is new to philately. In researching and writing his two-volume work on the stamps, Richard went back in the literature to original sources and corrected some errors that had been perpetuated for many decades. He has also exhibited his stamps (and research). In addition, Richard has a strong interest in the smaller South American countries, which he has exhibited, including new research and has produced articles on various aspects both Costa Rica and Haiti. A few of his larger articles are as follows: Hong Kong: The High Denomination Stamps of the Queen Victoria Period & Fiscal Stamps used for Postage, HKPS Journal Hong Kong:1891 14 Cents on 30 Cents Provisional Overprinted Stamps Second PrintHong Kong - Queen Victoria Period: High Denomination Postage Stamps, Postal-Fiscals Stamps or Fiscal Labels?, Capital Philately Hong Kong - Queen Victoria Period: Late Fees, HKPS Journal Costa Rica Airmail: Stamps, Flights, and Aviation Related Mail 1921 to 1930, HKPS Journal Haiti 1915 – 1920 ‘Provisional’ Issues, Capital Philately 1926-1927 Pan-American ‘GOOD WILL’ Flights, Capital Philately Richard has also been asked to give opinions on the genuineness of early Hong Kong stamps and varieties. This is high praise of his research and knowledge of the area. Richard has received the Hong Kong Philatelic Society’s Webb Cup three times for his books and to add to that honour he is a worthy recipient of an Australian Philatelic Research award.

The author Kàroly Szücs is to be comsion, but most importantly seeking sponsorship so that the Hungarian publication could be translated into English and published. In many ways this is what every collector of a specialised area of revenue philately could want. It is very much a cross between a handbook and a catalogue. It has listings of the known stamps, specialised studies and is a catalogue with valuations. It even has examples of usage on documents. Figure 4 illustrates a page from the specialised handbook part of the book, which shows the attention to detail and research that has gone into the book. Figure 5 is from later in the book and illustrates part of the catalogue-type listing showing the denomination, paper, number issued and a value for mint, used and on document. There is not a lot missing from this handbook/catalogue award in competition. However, it was not written to win large gold medals but is very much a labour of love by those involved. If every country had a catalogue like this would be that much easier. If you get the opportunity to see this book I urge you to take a look, even if you are not interested in revenue stamps. It is a great model for a philatelic book. If you are interested in buying a copy of the book you will need to contact Kàroly Szücs at karszu@gmail.com. I was lucky enough to get

Market Matters Gibbons “Part One” Catalogue released. For me the “event” of this month was the arrival of an air freight copy of the new 2019 Stanley Gibbons “Commonwealth & British Empire Stamps 18401970” catalogue. The 121st Edition in fact. I get a tad jaded with many things in this business, but am NOT jaded about receiving this monster each year! This volume is universally known to old-timers and the trade as the “Gibbons Part 1”. Once, in days of FAR less new issues, the other non-Commonwealth Volumes were numbered sequentially, from 1951 to 1970 they had: “Part 2 - Europe & Colonies” and “Part 3 - America, Asia and Africa”. Those contained full detail of perfs and watermarks etc. Later on, the Tsunami of new issues that started in the 1960’s, meant the new issues in one year globally were taking up as many pages as the 50 previous years for some countries, so SG needed to split Volumes 2 and 3 into more logical regional Editions, and later on, limited the content of “Part 1” up to 1970 only. This huge volume “Commonwealth & British Empire Stamps” is the absolute “Bible” globally for British Commonwealth stamps and cover pricing. Forget Scott and Michel and Yvert etc - they are basically meaningless for Commonwealth stamps. No catalogue is perfect, but this comes very close, and the Editors do an outstanding job in my view. The average collector buys a new major catalogue only once every few years, as they are rather expensive. For many dealers and collectors, being a nitely the year to update, if you have not done so for a while! Lots of big changes and price updates in here. Printed on a nice crisp fresh white paper stock. Cheery and “alive” compared to my already VERY yellowed early 2000’s SG pages, with sad grey illustrations. Colour illustrations right through, very many of them on each page. And many new varieties and listings are added this year. Over 750 full colour huge pages now.

Find just a really medium one from a country like Australia or UK, and the entire book will be readily paid for MANY times! Often stamps cat 10p each used are cat many £1,000s each with inverted watermark. This year the pricing committee have been super active in the Australasia area. If you only buy a new SG each 5 or 10 years, this is the year to update, as there are extensive upward adjustments.
Glen Stephens fered with new fake cancels as “FU” etc. You really are foolish if you buy such material EXCEPT from well-established dealer members of major stamp trade bodies. These increases are often very substantial, so any collector or dealer working on older books is costing themselves money. All the Australia States issues have had extensive re-vamps I noticed, and what follows is a brief summary of what I noted, on a fairly quick spot check of this, and the last 2018 edition. NSW sets the trend with all the early Imperfs, SG 1-43 all up mint about 20% - that is serious money upticks on these already pricey classics. SG #1 goes from £13,000 to £16,000 etc. Nice copies fetch terAll NSW “Sydney Views” up strongly. Some I saw on quick look of 450% increases over last year, so some SERIOUS moves! There have been exceptional auction realisations for much of this material in the past year, and these price increases are simply taking that pricing reality into account, and moving the SG prices into line with what is occurring in the real world stamp marketplace. The attractive 2d Sydney View shown nearby, SG #15 is now cat £21,000. Only a few years back, full SG was way under HALF that at - £8,500, so buying quality always pays off. And if your SG value says £8,500, you are so out of touch, for your book to be essentially meaningless. I do know that as a large dealer WHATEVER I offer lately in attractive nice condition Australia States issues - right from imperfs, to the last issues, sell near as fast as loaded up. They have been under-priced for decades, and if you have any gaps,
Indeed looking through the new Catalogue, I see near all NSW issues up to 1870 or so, are up in price Mint, and often in used as well. Certainly worth a careful look. Even some of the often neglected Postage Dues NSW issues see increases. Are all NSW imperfs up? Well no, and there are indeed some “sleepers” lurking among early NSW, I can guarantee you that! I was this week pricing up a superb and clean and fault free 6d Fawn Diadem, 4 margin SG 111, with error Watermark numeral “8” and not “6” that is shown nearby.

So we have a 164 year watermark error Imperforate, in superb 4 margin condition, with no faults, being placed into stock at $A95 - way less than the current PO Year Album. Madness.

WA prices not even keeping up. Western Australia powers on strongly of course. The SG #1, “1d Black Swan” is up both mint and used to £1,500/£300. Always a popular Bird item. The 4d “Inverted Frame” is of course up strongly from £140K to £180K. Sound high? Well nowhere near as high as it SHOULD be of course. The example shown nearby sold for $A425,000 mid 2018 at Corinphila.
Glen Stephens Big gains in AUSTRALIA. Lots of price increases noted in AUSTRALIA. Many of the major printing errors and inverted watermarks are up strongly. The 4d Violet KGV “Line Through Four Pence” is up to £34K and £9K. The last used one I sold years back went for a tiny fraction of that, so these have performed very well, and are not often seen offered. Some more modest and affordable plate errors like the 1929 3d green Airmail “Long Wing To Plane” I suggested last edition should be added, is up 10% to £300 and £180 used. A very easy to spot error, and almost no-one overseas knows it exists, so you might pick one up for a dollar or so in dealer were used. Invoiced for $A425,000, despite faults. That 1854 4d “Inverted Frame” has a bad 3mm paper slit above “OU”, and a vertical crease. I suspect the SG prices had been set before that sale took place, as even full new cat £180,000 is miles under what this defective example shown nearby sold for at Public Auction. Western Australia sees price increases right into the 1900s. A very popular State, and strong global demand - especially among “Bird” thematic collectors, as most issues depict - BIRDS! Don’t laugh - near all the available 4d Swan “Inverted Frames” (worth millions) are owned by Dr. Arthur Woo - who has a serious BIRDS ON STAMPS collection! Only 14 genuine “Inverted Frame” examples are recognised, and exactly HALF of those, or 7 copies, are in Museum or Royal or Institutional collections, and are thus not buyable by modern collectors, and never will be I am sure. The two fakes previously regarded as genuine, Dr Woo also owns. Photos of all 16 here - tinyurl.com/FakeSwan Woo owns near all the others - I have seen them exhibited all on one page - and he may well have been the buyer of the example auctioned mid year in Switzerland. The buyer has not yet been disclosed, and/or made himself known. It was invoiced for 314,600 Swiss Francs, or near exactly $A425,000 at the time.

In a quick perusal of the PAPUA listings I noticed some upward price tinkering, and a “HALO” KGVI Coronation. It is SG 154a, cat £40 and £50 used.

Price rises widely spread. Deadline here precluded me looking at a lot of countries, but I did some spot checking, and noted some popular areas getting the same price increases. Hong Kong and Falklands saw upticks, and I noted scarcer India issues across all reigns seeing rises. And for India pre 1947, my view is there is still much upside yet. New Zealand scored a lot of attention, starting with a 10% price hike on the venerable 1d QV Imperf, SG #1. A tough stamp, and now £20,000 rises in inverted and sideways watermarks continues again, following the strong trend of recent years. Some in the hobby are bemused and openly sneer at those who collect watermark errors. The wider market thinks very differently, and some of these have literally skyrocketed in very recent years. As a perfect example, the 1909 1d “Dominion” inverted watermark SG 405w is up 50% in just one year, mint or used, to £120 and £110. Indeed some KGVI watermark varieties are double or treble the last year’s edition. Notably the 1/3d KGVI, SG 687aw goes from £10 to £45. That is a

So as can be seen, a solid collection of KEVIII stamps, even on very interesting mailed covers, is not very expensive. I listed up and quickly sold a KEVIII stamp booklet on stampboards recently for $A65 and these short-lived booklets as you can see had 3 of the values in there, in varying quantities.

The UK KEVIII quartet as illustrated nearby is SG 457/460, and is full cat in SG at £1.25 for mint unhinged, for the complete set of 4! Remarkably cheap for a stamp issue over 80 years old.

“Vestey Collection”

Glen Stephens was given legislative assent by special Act of The British Parliament: “His Majesty’s Declaration of Abdication Act 1936”. A little-known fact is that Edward’s abdication required the consent of each Commonwealth Dominion, which was duly given. By the Parliament of Australia, which was at the time in session, and by the Governments of the other Dominions, whose Parliaments were in recess. Upon this Abdication Act of December 11, 1936 passing in the UK, The Australian Post Governors make their own Rules! tion. No stamps, and no proofs. And even stranger, NOTHING from this issue resides in the Royal Collection of Her Majesty The Queen. Indeed, for 60 years the very existence of this 2d KEVIII block 6 was totally unknown. The person to whom then State of Victoria GovKEVIII stamps to in 1936, is known to us now as none other than Sam Vestey’s great-grandfather, Sir William Vestey - the First Baron Vestey.
Abdication came days too soon. History tells us that King Edward VIII abdicated only days before this new 2d red Australian stamp issue was to be released nationally here. It was already printed in the millions, and was ready to sell. Only the UK ever issued stamps depicting this Royal successor to King George V. At his home castle Fort Belvedere on 10 December 1936, Edward signed his written Abdication Notices, witnessed by his three younger brothers: Prince Albert, Duke of York (who succeeded Edward as George VI), Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and Prince George, Duke of Kent. The following day, it

“BURN EVERYTHING” edict went out that EVERYTHING connected to these stamps was to be totally destroyed “by smelting or burning”. Plates, artwork, proofs and all stamps etc. All this to be done under the supervision the Commonwealth of Australia - very heavy duty high-level supervision. Government printer John Ash frantically wrote again to the Victoria Governor’s Private secretary December 16, urgently asking that the freebie sheet of stamps he was given be returned immediately, so they could be all completely destroyed, to comply with this new panic stations order. The Australian Government at high level demanded the printer destroy all copies, proofs and plates of this stamp after the abdication, but clearly Governor the stamps back he had already mailed to his chum in the UK. Stamp News - 69
Market Matters The block of 6 fetched about half what some VERY experienced observers had predicted, but still was invoiced for £260,000 - around $A500,000 at that time, as the dollar had sunk badly. And the dollar has sunk a great deal more since then!
Wallis hated by the Female Royals. Many might not realise that when the Queen Mother died in recent years, hitherto secret documents about the abdication were released, which shows the Queen Mother (KGVI’s wife) and Queen Mary - the mother of both men, really hated the American, Wallis Simpson. In a now public 1938 letter from the new King George VI, to Prime Minister Chamberlain, regarding proposals for his brother to visit Britain, King George wrote: “I think you know that neither the Queen or Queen Mary have any desire to meet the Duchess of Windsor.” The “Liberated” KEVIII 2d Block 6.
George could not even bring himself to reveal the reality to Edward. KGVI told Chamberlain in the newly released letters: “Perhaps my brother would take this decision in a more friendly manner from you, than me?” The bizarre Wallis Simpson/KEVIII story seems to endlessly fascinate stamp collectors. In September a link to that discussion and love letters and covers etc, was used on the weekly feed - facebook.com/stampboards And this resulted in 1531 views - and 28 likes as you can readily as you can readily see, an all-time record by quite a large margin in our several year history - no idea why. Take a look and please add a “like” when in there - it must be the most visited stamp related facebook page globally, that Margo keeps updated. tinyurl.com/WallisS contains heaps more discussion on the KEVIII stamp issues, and this unfolding scandal as it occurred, and shows many mailed covers etc, many of which are very interesting, and none of them are expensive at all to buy. 70 - Stamp News
