The final of the three sales of the Australasia section of this remarkable collection was conducted by Corinphila Switzerland last November 28-29. The Australian Colonies section of the great collection was the most valuable in that category ever to be offered at auction. Corinphila did it justice. I’ve featured this month a selection of what I regard as noteworthy results, more so from the perspective of “value for money” lots. As a Philatelic Auctioneer (a life sentence) Figure 2.

order of sequence of offerings? #3262 (Figure 4) SF5000 ($8290) is an astounding result for a contrived cover, bearing Qld 1900 Charity 1d and 2d. These stamps were sold for 6d and 1/-, respectively, but paid postage only for the denominated sums. So, 3d franking was affixed to this cover (rate was 2½d), at a cost of 1/6d, clearly for philatelic purposes. The problem: the stamp issue was not permitted for overseas use by U.P.U., so the article was taxed 5d (double-deficiency) upon arrival in GB, making for an even more expensive exercise by the parties to the contrivance! Of course, none of this deterred bidders, and a new record price for an Australian Charity issue cover eventuated. #3330 (Figure 5) SF5500 ($9120) does not seem too much to pay for a show-stopping multiple, once in the collection of the legendary Maurice Burrus? Given the SG catalogue for this SA 1877 6d is £9360, as singles, who could argue? Multiples, particularly large multiples, can often be counted amongst the best buys in Philately. On a smaller scale, I’ve witnessed singles fetching as much as blocks of four, in the same auction! Some collectors simply do not learn to think outside of the
original block of six presented by Printers, Perkins, Bacon, to relatives of Rowland Hill. The intact block received multiple strikes of the “CANCELLED” obliterator, and was subsequently separated in to singles, with scissors involved. SG separately catalogue the various stamps of the British Empire which formed part of this act of largesse by the Printers (it subsequently cost them the loss of contracts); this issue is priced at £10000. Normally, one would expect somewhat more than this realized sum, but by incredible coincidence, just four days before this lot was offered, Abacus Auctions in Melbourne offered one of the other three recorded examples (not scissor-cut), which realized a whopping $37140! It’s compelling to speculate the outcome at Besancon would have been very different, were it not for being second Figure 5. Impressive item, who would argue? cab off the rank in the

square. #3341 (Figure 6) SF600 ($995) is a delightful Essay for proposed SA Half-penny, eventually adopted for use as Postal Stationery. This is not enough for a Unique item! Essays and Proofs of the Australian Colonies are generally “on the nose”. Very unjustified. What an extraordinary opportunity for a collector with foresight. The time to form a great collection is when no one else is interested in the subject! #3374 (Figure 7) SF1900 ($3150) is somewhat of an enigma. Little known, this SA Official “OS” overprint on 5/- has absence of SG listing for its relative lack of demand. The “OS” is the Postal Stationery block type, rather than the italicised type for the SG-listed 5/- (SG O87 – Cat £6000). The Robson Lowe Encyclopaedia (1962) Figure 6.

The realization, 25 years later, is probably a little on the light side for such a show-stopping item? #3534 (Figure 12) SF16000 ($26520) earned me the unofficial Philatelic Trader Wooden Spoon for 1981. When its discovery that year in Adelaide, in a 1850s ledger, was brought to my attention over the phone, I dismissed it as being a Jeffryes’ forgery sheet, which I erroneously recalled as being of 24 units (they were actually sheets of 12). I realized I had shot myself in the foot when this remarkable Figure 9. A delightful cover, at relatively modest price mint block of 24 appeared in glorious colour on the back cover of a Robson #3468 (Figure 9) SF260 ($430) does not appear Lowe catalogue, later that year.

The Victoria Post Office in 1879 overprinted five stamps, more than 25 years after they were issued, to prevent pilfering of Archival material. One is in The Royal Collection; this example I purchased at the Henry Harvey sale in London in mid-1970s (other three are unaccounted for). I can’t help cross-referencing this important, historic stamp with Australian “SPECIMEN” overprints, prepared solely to sell to collectors, for revenue-raising purposes, which can fetch five-figure sums, yet exist by the score (e.g. £2 Arms taller type). #3511 (Figure 11) SF21000 ($34810) is the mint marginal block of ten Victoria Half-length 1d so-called “White veils”, a famous item ex Ferrary, Hind, Burrus, Boker (and Perry).

So ends my overview of the Besancon Australian Colonies.

The KGV 3d CofA wmk. inverted, like most watermark aberrations, just keeps on turning up, in ever greater numbers. The catalogue states “16 examples recorded”. That’s a large number for a stamp of this nature to be catalogued by SG at £16000, isn’t it? ACSC at $10000 has come off the boil, but is still way too high, in my opinion. Based upon this latest realization, is should be closer to $3000. Don’t be surprised to see that a reality in the foreseeable future, as more and more come on to the market. This is a collecting area for only the very brave.
con item, the finer of the two pairs, is ex Hill, Pack, Purves, Perry. I needed to bid SF30800 at the Purves 1980 Swiss sale to outbid Besancon’s Agent for this pair. At my Swiss sale in 1987, Besancon needed only SF14300 to own it. Collecting in the philatelic stratosphere does have its fair share of swings and roundabouts. The new owner received very fair value for money, in my opinion. #3703 (Figure 16) SF8000 ($13260). The WA 1879 2d Error of Colour, mauve rather than yellow, Happy collecting in 2019! is a more spectacular colour difference than for the Victoria Error (Figure 15). Accordingly, although there are several times the number extant of unused of the WA vs Victoria, the former catalogues £21000, latter just £10000. Used, however, of the WA, are much rarer than unused, despite cataloguing less, at £15000. I have seen used examples sell for a very high percentage of catalogue, but that was not to be on this occasion. I regard this attractive example as particularly good value at $13260, suggesting Figure 17. Watermark aberrations the stamp may be out of Figure 16.

World's Loneliest Island
In the history of all nations there are some years that stand out as being particularly important. This of course holds true for small island communities as well. Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean is perhaps the loneliest inhabited speck of land on planet earth. Let us take a closer look at some of the more important events in Tristan’s history using postage stamps as illustrations. It was the Portuguese sea captain Tristão da Cunha who discovered the island in May 1506. Bad weather prevented him from landing but he provided the island with his own name. He and most other visitors obviously felt that Tristan da Cunha was of very little significance and for this reason the island remained uninhabited. A view of the island can be seen in Fig 1. Strangely enough Tristan da Cunha received its first permanent inhabitants thanks to Napoleon. However, it was not the French emperor who
Figure 1
12 - Stamp News
caused this to happen but rather the French defeat at the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. Napoleon was taken prisoner by the British and they wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. The solution was to send him to his island prison on St. Helena, another island in the South Atlantic Ocean. He remained on St. Helena until his death in 1821. Fig. 2 shows the emperor in more glorious days on a stamp released by St. Helena. The British government feared that Napoleon’s friends would attempt to liberate him. It was in this connection that the idea was put forward to annex Tristan da Cunha to prevent the French from using it as a base in any future operation to secure the emperor’s freedom. In 1816, a small military force was sent to the island but it was withdrawn one year later. Scotsman William Glass had been one of the soldiers stationed on Tristan. He had obviously
Figure 2
Christer Brunström fallen in love with the island because he returned to Tristan with his family in 1821. The population then slowly increased as new people arrived from Britain. Some seamen also decided to settle on the island. The islanders were more or less left to take care of themselves relying on subsistence farming (with potatoes being one of the major crops) and fishing. At times the island was visited by clergymen who tried to fill the islanders’ spiritual needs. Tristan da Cunha and the neighbouring islands were occasionally visited by scientific expeditions (Fig. 3) and South Africa also established a meteorological station on the island. The South African A. B. Crawford was a meteorologist who had been stationed on Tristan. He realised that the islanders were far from satisfied with being deprived of postage stamps of their own. A petition for postage stamps was launched in 1946 and Crawford had a stamp printed. It is known as
the “potato stamp” (Fig. 4) as the one-penny stamp also carries the unusual denomination of four potatoes. The idea was that the islanders should frank their petitions with the stamp. The very first postage stamps for Tristan da Cunha were finally released in 1952 but the islanders must have been disappointed when they discovered that the current coat of arms definitives of St. Helena had been overprinted with the island’s name. They had to wait until 1954 for a beautiful set of stamps featuring local views (Fig. 5). The greatest disaster in the island’s history happened in 1961. A volcanic eruption threatened to cover the village with lava and the entire population had to be evacuated to Britain. As it turned out, many of the islanders were far from happy with their new life in the UK and in 1963 many returned to a life of peace and quiet on Tristan da Cunha. Latest figures indicate that the current population
Figure 3 Figure 4
Stamp News - 13
World's Loneliest Island amounts to some 265 people. Stamps of St. Helena were suitably overprinted to mark the resettlement of the island (Fig. 6). Some of Tristan’s postage stamps have a strong connection with Sweden. Swedish painter and writer Roland Svensson spent a lot of time on the island. Twelve of his paintings were used on three sets of stamps issued between 1976 and 1979. An example is shown in Fig. 7. The sale of postage stamps and coins still play a certain role in the island’s economy. At the local post office three ladies eagerly await orders from worldwide philatelists. For information on what is currently available and methods of payment readers
should take a look at www.tristandc.com/postoffice.php. However, you need to be prepared to wait for quite some time before your order arrives as the island relies on chartered fishing vessels from Cape Town in South Africa for its communications with the rest of the world. Currently there are some ten sailings each year. There is only one village on the island. It carries the rather impressive name of Edinburgh of the Seven Seas. I find it quite refreshing that Tristan da Cunha’s stamps are in fact offered for sale directly from the island. They can undoubtedly be obtained a lot quicker from the agency in the UK.

The man’s brother uploaded a photo of the package to Reddit, with the caption: “My brother waited two months for this package to arrive.” The parcel was sent from the US Postal Service’s New York Jamaica International mail distribution centre clearly addressed to Australia however it ended up in Austria. Österreichische Post resent it back to the US five times before it finally, it finally made its way here. A photo of the parcel in question shows five stamps on the package that read: “Missent to Austria.” It seems even the postal workers in Austria were

getting frustrated with the parcel continually being posted to the wrong country. Scrawled next to the fifth “Missent to Austria” stamp was the word “AGAIN” underlined in capital letters. Reddit users were quick to respond to the postal blunder. “I enjoy it happens so much they [Austria] have a stamp,” one Reddit user wrote. Some also shared similar experiences. “Can confirm. Once ordered a bunch of DVDs from Canada. Never arrived. Company sent replacements,” one user wrote. “Some two months later they arrived having been on a holiday to Austria.” But it turns out international postal errors aren’t uncommon, with the problem not unique to just Australia and Austria. “In South Australia we have a stamp for stuff meant for South Africa,” one user wrote. Other savvy Reddit users say they’ve found ways around it. “I live in Austria and my family add ‘EUROPE’ to my address due to Christmas presents having been sent to Australia instead, several times, so this definitely goes both ways,” one user chimed in. Post office workers also confirmed the blunder wasn’t uncommon. “I have to sort letters marked “Austria” far more often than I expected before the job,” shared one Reddit user. “I worked in the parcel sorting area at Australia Post. We got them ALL the time,” said another. Another postie said Australia and Austria both have four numbers in their postcodes which often adds to the confusion.

What’s going on – in the US in 2019 Reported at www.linns.com
Marvin Gaye, the ‘’Prince of Motown’’ is to be commemorated next year as part of the USPS’s Music Icon series. The stamp design features a portrait of Gaye inspired by historic photographs. The stamp pane is designed to resemble a vintage 45 rpm record sleeve. One side of the pane includes the stamps, brief text about Gaye’s legacy, and the image of a sliver of a record seeming to peek out the top of the sleeve. Gaye was elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996. He was tragically shot and killed by his father in 1984, one day short of his 45th birthday. “His music was cathartic,” biographer David Ritz said. “His songs were prayers, meditations, strategies for survival.” Other issues announced by USPS for 2019 include: 50th anniversary of the Woodstock music festival 75th anniversary of the commissioning of the USS Missouri Year of the Boar - 12th and final stamp in the Celebrating Lunar New Year series that began in 2008 Post Office Murals. A pane of 10 stamps shows five different murals (two of each design) created during the era of the Great Depression “designed to add a touch of beauty to Post Office walls and help boost the morale of Americans.” The U.S. Flag. The new stamp shows “one of several [flags] on the flagpoles near the end of Chicago’s Navy Pier, waving in a May breeze.”

New Zealand Post closes doors Reported at www.newshub.co.nz
State-owned New Zealand Post will soon shut its final 79 shops as KiwiBank proceeds with plans to establish standalone branches across New Zealand, leaving a number of communities wondering who will take care of their banking and postal needs. “New Zealand Post is repositioning its business,” a spokesman said. The standalone model KiwiBank announced last week means New Zealand Post’s PostShop services will not be available at the same location. Instead, New Zealand Post plans to partner with another business to have their services offered in place of KiwiBank.
20 - Stamp News
“The model is about “partnering with third parties or other business to host our postal services so that we can remain in communities for many years to come”. “We have a retail network with one of the biggest retail footprints in New Zealand, and of our 880 odd outlets, already about 800 of them have services offered through this model.” “It isn’t new and it’s something that’s been part of our retail network for many years.” New Zealand Post is required to maintain throughout New Zealand a network of at least 880 service points at which consumers can purchase basic postal services. It must also maintain at least 240 service points where personal assistance is available to consumers. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Tuesday New Zealand Post had indicated to the Government that “they are looking for co-hosting opportunities”. “There are changes afoot that I have had concerns about; it is because the environment’s changing and people aren’t using those postal services in the same way,” she said. “We are looking at how communities can still have banking services and postal services.” “But with some of the changes we’re seeing, we do have some concern over loss of service and banking services as well.”
New Zealand Post is currently seeking a suitable business to partner with in place of KiwiBank where its postal services will be provided. Johnsonville Community Association president has slammed KiwiBank and New Zealand Post for the plans, and called on local businesses to reject New Zealand Post’s franchise offer. But New Zealand Post says the same services that are offered in the post shop in Johnsonville will be offered in a new outlet, and that there’s nothing to be concerned about. “I do appreciate that it’s a change for the community but I’d like to assure those customers that the services they currently receive, they will still be able to receive those services albeit in a different location.” New Zealand Post is in profit but reported an annual decline of $14 million in its financial results released in August, hence the need for changes. The core business reported a net loss of $39 million, resulting from on-going and significant letter volume decline.
Philippines Post opens a door Reported at www.philstar.com
The Philippines National Museum has declared the Post Office building in Manila as an Important Cultural Property - possessing “exceptional cultural, artistic and historical significance,” according to the Philippine Postal Corp. The postal system was established in 1767 in the first Manila Post Office in Escolta. The Post Office building in Manila was built in 1926 by Filipino architects Juan Arellano and Tomas Mapua. It was rehabilitated after the second World War. The Philippine Postal and Philatelic Museum will soon be set up in the complex to house a historical archive of stamps documenting 250 years of postal heritage in the country, PhlPost said

with the common theme being two Unesco World Heritage sites. The issue consists of two stamps, one featuring the city of Valletta and the other, the Burana Tower in northern Kyrgyzstan. Valletta, the capital of Malta, is a fortified city built in the 16th century, and is named after its founder, Jean Parisot de Valette, the Grand Master of the Order of St John. The Burana Tower is a minaret, built by the Karakhanids in the ninth century. The tower was once part of the ancient city of Balasagun, which was the capital of a great empire. The city was overrun by the Mongol troops and by the 14th century was left in disrepair.

Hey Joe what are you doing with that stamp in your hand? Reported at https://seattlemedium.com
He’s considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and now music legend Jimi Hendrix could be set to have his name affixed to a US post office. On what would have been Jimi’s 76th birthday, Washington state politician Rep. Adam Smith has put forward a bill which aims to rename a post office in Renton as the ‘James Marshall ‘Jimi’ Hendrix Post Office Building’. Rep. Smith explained that the bill is, “one more way we can celebrate the legacy of one of the greatest musicians of our time and the importance of the south Seattle and Renton areas in his enduring legacy.” The bill has so far attracted the unanimous support of Washington’s eight Congressional representatives, and looks as though it may indeed go ahead. If successful, the post office will become one of many Washington sites that honour the late icon, including the Jimi Hendrix Park, which opened in Seattle last year. The post office at the centre of this renaming process happens to be located on Northeast 4th Street, where Hendrix himself grew up, and just blocks away from Greenwood Memorial Park, where he is buried.

Postal Stationery Welcome to the first postal stationery column for 2019. This month’s column looks at the Centenary of World War I postcards from Australia, USA postal card booklets, the postal stationery results at Armistice Stamp Show 2018 and information on the postal stationery competitions available to exhibitors in 2019.
Centenary of WWI Postcard Collection
Australia Post issued a set of 20 postcards to mark the Centenary of World War I on 5 November 2018. The set was sold in an album for $99 with production limited to 200 and also included Figure 1 Stamped Postcard Commemorating World adhesive postage stamps issued to commemorate War I World War I. The stamped postcards (Figure 1) depict World War I related illustration such as John Monash, Charles Bean (Australia’s Official War Correspondent, Figure 2), Matron Wilson (Figure 3), enlisting, the Light Horse, soldiers on the front in Europe and armistice celebrations. The postcards use the same design as stamped postcards

In 1989 the US Post Office began issuing stamped postcards with multicoloured views on the reverse with the issue of a postcard with a view of the White House on the reverse and a 15c stamp also featuring the White House on the front of the card. This was followed closely by a Jefferson Memorial postcard. Other stamped picture postcards were issued in 1992 for the America’s Cup and in 1993 for the Holocaust Stamp News - 27

Memorial. All of these were produced by the US Government. In 1994 the US Post Office introduced a marketing strategy of producing stamped postcards (called postal cards in the US) with multicoloured views on the reverse in sets of cards where the design of the stamp on the front of the card was the same as the design on the reverse (or an adaption of the design) with “USA’ and the denomination. The design of the sets was often used for both an adhesive stamp and the postcard issue. From 1994, the ‘picture postal cards’ were produced by private contractors and usually printed by two runs through the presses with the picture side printed first followed by the stamp side. As these postcards were produced using an acrylic finish on the picture side, they were subject to damage when passing through high speed cancelling machines. As a result, undamaged commercial used postcards can be hard to find. These sets were issued as ‘packets’ of postcards (such as the 1994 issue of Legends of the West postcards), as sheets or as booklets. In 1996 a set of 20 cards were issued as a ‘postal card booklet’ (Figure 4) for the 1996 Olympic Games (The Centennial Olympic Games). The 22c 28 - Stamp News
Figure 11 Back Cover of The Star Wars Postcard Booklet Showing Images Of The Characters And Spacecraft Depicted On The Postcards
postcards depicted athletes from twenty different sports on both the 22c stamps and the reverse. The stamps on the postcards are similar in design to the 32c adhesive stamps issued at the same time for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The postcards were bound into the booklets with a rouletted tab enabling the buyer to easily detach the postcard from the booklet. Figure 5 shows a postcard with tab showing a carving of a women holding a 24-star American flag (Figure 6) from the 2003 Old Glory booklet. 37c adhesive stamps were also issued in the same design. Figure 7 shows the cover of an Art of Disney Romance postcard booklet issued in 2006 while Figures 8 and 9 show the front and reverse of a 24c postcard from the booklet depicting Mickey and Minnie Mouse. 39c adhesive stamps were also issued in the same design. Sometimes the reverse of the booklet showed illustration of the picture backs of each of the postcards. The Star Wars booklet (Figure 10) published in 2007 is an example with the back of the booklet showing the Star Wars characters and spacecraft

Figure 12 shows the cover of the Marvel Super Heroes postcard booklet with Figure 13 showing the back cover of the booklet with images of the super heroes depicted on the postcards including Spiderman, the Hulk and the X-Men. The topics shown for the booklets were designed to appeal to the public with an emphasis on scenic views, cartoon, TV and movie characters, sports, trains, animals and cars. Some of the topics which have been issued as postcard booklets are Endangered Species (1996), Classic Movie Monsters (1997), cartoon characters such as Sylvester and Tweety (1998), Daffy Duck (1999, Figure 14), Wile E Coyote and Road Runner (Figure 15, 2000) and Porky Pig (2001), Ballet (1998), Tropical Birds (1998, Figure 16), 20th Century Trains (1999, Figure 17), Adoption (2000), Legends of Baseball (2000), Baseball’s Legendary Playing Fields (2001), Baseball Sluggers (2006), the USA Flag (‘Old Glory’, 2003), Southeastern Lighthouses (2003), Pacific Coast Lighthouses (2007), Golf Coast Lighthouses (2009), The Art of Disney: Friendship (2004) Celebration (2005) Romance (2006), Magic (2007),

The postcard booklets were sold at major post offices and through the philatelic bureau. In 1999 I visited Hawaii and tried to buy the Sylvester and Tweety postcard booklet from one of Honolulu’s post offices. The postal clerk was adamant that such cards had never been issued, having a 20c stamp on the postcard in the same design as the internal rate adhesive stamp would just never happen as it would confuse customers.

Cinderella Corner Welcome to the first Cinderella Corner for 2019. This article helps to commence the year with a fresh topic not yet covered in depth within the world of Australian cinderella philately; paint. It will explore a number of labels associated with paint and painting traditions in Australia throughout the years. I extend my thanks to Dave Elsmore for supplying some of the images in this piece and, as usual, welcome readers to offer further scans. Sherwin-Williams Company Sherwin-Williams Company is a large US-based firm that deals with the production and distribution of paint and paint-related products, with customers worldwide, including Australia. It was founded in Ohio in 1866 by Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams and currently positions with a total worth of several billion dollars. The cinderella label illustrated in Figure 1 advertises the Sherwin-Williams Company, and presents the text: MANUFACTURED IN AUSTRALIA / SW / COVER THE EARTH / by THE SHERWIN WILLIAMS Co. (AUSTRALIA) LTD. The label is coloured yellow, green and black, measures 43mm x 64mm, and is perforated 11 on all sides. The central motif of paint pouring over the earth is the official Sherwin-Williams company logo. The Australian division of Sherwin-Williams Company has operated for several decades and is responsible for protecting and decorating many items including wood decking and automobiles. It continues, nationwide, to this date. Boncote Boncote cement paints have been manufactured in Australia for nearly a century, commencing operations in 1920. The cinderella labels offered in Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the Boncote Cement paint product. The text in Figure 2 reads: BONCOTE CEMENT PAINT / PERMANENTLY WATER PROOFS AND COLORS NEW AND OLD CEMENT / DISTRIBUTING AGENTS: H. J. CORDER PTY. LTD. 240 Chapel St., Prahran, S. 1. Vic. The text in Figure 3 is identical except the distributing

Figure 4
Left: Figure 1 Above: Figure 2 agent reads: Harris Scarfe & Sandovers Ltd. HAY STREET, PERTH. These labels each measure 49mm x 48mm and both are perforated 11½ on all sides. They are also coloured yellow, blue black and white. It is likely that other examples of these labels exist with different printed distributing agents identified, nationwide. Majora Paints Majora Paints has been established in Australia for over a century. The company also produces and provides organisations with varnishes and brushes and while highly active across Australia, Majora Paints has a noted firmer presence in Victoria. The yellow, black and white cinderella label illustrated in Figure 4 measures 38mm x 29mm and is perforated 13 on two sides. It presents the text: As easily put on as a hat / International MAJORA PAINTS The label is scarce and likely dates to the 1960s. Kem-Cote The cinderella illustrated in Figure 5 measures 32mm x 32mm, is multicoloured, and features the text: ONE COAT Kem-cote / TRADEMARK / FLAT ENAMEL The One Coat Kem-Cote flat enamel product, as advertised on the label, was first produced in Sydney in 1954 from the large painting company Berger Groups. At the time, it was advertised as a new type of paint finish, released in Australia, for use on interior walls, ceilFigure 5 ings and woodwork.
Vito Milana
Above: Figure 6, Right: Figure 7 Walmasta As an extension to the Kem-Cote product explored above, Figure 6 highlights another Berger Groups paint product, this time the Walmasta Wall Finish. This label measures 72mm by 39mm and is imperforate on all sides. Coloured green, red, yellow, white and black, it features the text: Exclusive WALMASTA / EXTERIOR REINFORCED RESIN EMULSION WALL FINISH / Free Flowing The label also features an image of the Walmaster Finish tin (warm cream colour) and likely dates to the early to mid1950s when the product was first available in Australia. Ask For ’10-66’ Super Enamel Figure 7 illustrates a cinderella that advertises another Sherwin-Williams Company paint product, namely the 10-66 Super Enamel. This label measures 39mm x 47mm, is multicoloured, and imperforate on all sides. It features the text: ASK FOR ‘10-66’ SUPER ENAMEL Figures 8 illustrates the front of a cover dated 1934 originating from the Sherwin-Williams Company in Rhodes, Sydney. The reverse of this cover, highlighted in Figure 9, illustrates the same cinderella from Figure 7. This label, as such, likely dates from the early to mid-1930s. United Paint The cinderella label illustrated in Figure 10 is imperforate on all sides and measures 36mm x 55mm. It is multi-co-
Figure 8
loured and features the text: UNITED / AUSTRALIA’S HIGH GRADE PAINT The United Paint advertised on this label was produced by the Australian United Paint Co Limited, which formed in Port Adelaide, South Australia, in 1912 and remained in operation for just over 40 years until 1954 (although it was purchased by Dulux Australia Ltd. in 1918, with the name United retained). The product was advertised in the early 1920s and the label likely dates to this period of time. It was available nationwide. Ripolin Ripolin, as foremost a brand of enamel paint, was founded in the Netherlands by chemist Carl Julius Ferdinand in the late 1800s. It is also famously known for being one of the paint brands used by Pablo Picasso and Swiss architect and painter Charles-Édouard Jeanneret. Ripolin products were imported in Australia from at least 1916 and, in its early years here, was advertised as a paint for cars. Initially available in Australia only in white, it was then available in ‘all colours’ from 1921. The cover featured in Figure 11 in Figure 12, dated May 1932, originates from the then only Australian distributor of Ripolin paint, Lindsay McCormick. As the details on the reverse of the envelope lists (as per Figure 12), the address was 4 Underwood Street, Sydney. The cinderella label affixed to the front of the cover illustrated in Figure 11 bears the text: RIPOLIN / A PAINT READY FOR USE / on Wood Metal Stone Cement etc. / TRADEMARK It also features the addition-
Figure 10
Figure 9 Stamp News - 33
Cinderella Corner al text: RIPOLIN dries with a rich glossy service The label measures 50mm x 38mm, is multicoloured and imperforate on all sides. Of further interest is the additional cinderella label illustrated in Figure 13. It features the original Ripolin advertising from the Netherlands, written in Dutch, with the text RIPOLIN TER BESCHILDERING present, equating to the English ‘RIPOLIN for painting.’ It likely predates the English version, which wold have been adapted from it. Taubmans Taubmans are the oldest manufacturers of paint and painting products in Australia, and still function as an independent enterprise today. Taubmans was formed in Sydney, 1912, by brothers Nathaniel and George Taubman. George was already in the field of paints, having established himself as an importer of paint supplies since 1897. Nathaniel then sold his share of the company to his brother, two years later, and George continued to expand the business until his death in 1938. From then, until 1952, it was chaired by George’s son, Henry Taubman, and became Australia’s second largest paint company, with factories expanding across all States, as well as abroad. The cover illustrated in Figure 14 is postmarked Queensland, July 1920, and, on the reverse, as illustrated in Figure 15, features a Taubmans cinderella. This label is diamond shaped and imperforate on all sides. The label is also coloured yellow, black and white and features the text: TAUBMANS VARNISHES LTD / SUPER FINE The advertised varnish product therefore dates to the early years of Taubmans’ presence in Australia, shortly after the end of World War I. It is a very scarce cinderella and the scans of the cover were kindly supplied by Dave Elsmore. Conclusion Early Australian and Australian-connected paint cinderella labels are rather scarce. They do, however, offer a snapshot into the world of paint and painting products and offer some further insight into architectural, coating and cement practices in Australia from the late 1890s onwards. If readers have other examples they wish to share, they would be most welcome. I once again extend my thanks to Dave Elsmore for offering scans of some of the labels in this Cinderella Corner piece.

Introducing the Australian Philatelic Federation Postal Stationery – Russian New Year Postcards are prepared by private companies and are readily available at commercial outlets. They are usually illustrated with pictures or printed advertisements. They do not have prepaid franking and the addition of a postage stamp is required to mail them. They are not considered postal stationery. Postal cards, on the other hand, are postal stationery. They are differentiated from postcards as they have an imprinted stamp (or indicium), signifying the prepayment of postage and are sold only by postal authorities. In October 1, 1869 the world’s first postal card was produced by Austria-Hungary. They caught on quickly. To the post office, there were positive advantages to postal cards as opposed to correspondence in envelopes. The cards were lighter and less bulky than letters and they were all the same size. The result was that they occupied less than one third of the space required by the same number of letters. For the public there were also advantages. They were

simple and cheap making them an instant success. By the end of the 1870s most countries issued postal cards. The first Russian postal card was produced in 1872. During the Soviet years, Christmas celebrations were not allowed in the Soviet Union when religion was essentially banned under Communist rule. New Year’s celebrations that were similar to Christmas began in the 1930s. Russians still celebrate New Year’s based on the Gregorian calendar, 13 days after the usual date. Russians began celebrating Christmas again in the 1990s after the fall of the Soviet Union. However, the New Year holiday remains much more important. From 1954 annual New Year Postal cards were produced. Although the artwork became more modern and international in style, the themes often show typical aspects of the Soviet and Russian culture. Many of the designs also show a decorative folk-art

influence. You don’t need to know the Russian language to enjoy Russian New Year postcards. Almost all of the cards have the same phrase on the front: с новым годом. This is pronounced SNO-vim GOdahm and is translated as Happy New Year. On the back of most of the postal cards is the post office approval date, an indicium, the artist’s name and © USSR Ministry of Communications (Министерство связи СССР). Some common themes on Russian New Year postcards are Santas, Snow Girls, Troikas, Snowmen, People, Animals, Space, Winter Scenes, Postal Mail, and Decorations. Of course, there is a lot of overlap among these categories. Little bluebirds or bullfinches often appear as part of the scene. These birds are symbols of good luck and happiness. Clocks with their hands near midnight appear as symbols of time and the New Year. Many of the designs on the New Year’s cards include snowflakes, starbursts, swirls, and/or plumes. These elements give the cards a sparkly and dynamic look. Red Soviet stars usually top the New Year trees. Occasionally, there is some propaganda mixed in with the New Year greetings.
DED MOROZ - GRANDFATHER FROST SANTA. Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) took the place of Santa Claus. Most of the Santas look more like a traditional old-fashioned European Santa than a chubby American Santa. They usually wear a long red robe that is often decorated with embroidery Russian Santas don’t just bring gifts; they also deliver mail. They are shown with a variety of modes of transportation, in figure 1 the Santa is shown delivering the mail on skis. Sometimes Santa’s robes (figure 2) are other colors, especially blue. SNEGUROCHKA - SNOW GIRL - SNOW MAIDEN. Snegurochka is Santa’s granddaughter and helper. She can be either a girl or a young woman. She usually has a long blonde braid and is dressed in blue or red with a traditional style kokoshnik headdress. Hares, bear, and foxes are the most common animals on Russian New Year postcards. Most of the animals that appear on cards seem to have their origins in fairy tales. Snegurochka is seen with a deer on this 1974 postal card shown in figure 3. The reverse (figure 4), shows the domestic rate of 4 kopek. TROIKAS - Russian Santas don’t drive sleighs pulled by reindeer. They drive traditional Russian Stamp News - 55

The Exhibition was a spacious sports arena. There were nine dealers present as well as New Zealand Post. The Sunday coincided with the 100th anniversary of the cessation of hostilities of The Great War (World War I) which was the central theme of the Exhibition. This was marked by a remembrance ceremony (including a bugler) at 11 am on the Sunday of the Exhibition, 11 November. The show souvenirs commemorated the anniversary. These included a miniature sheet and a set of five commemorative stamps with a stained-glass window design issued by New Zealand Post. Four of the stamps depict members of New Zealand armed forces, the navy, the army, the air force and the medical core. The fifth stamp features the RNRSA poppy. Three of the stamps can be seen on the welcome
banner in figure 10. The 11 November 2018 special postmarks provided by New Zealand proved very popular. The Exhibition had 104 exhibits in 509 frames of which 43 exhibits were from Australia. National-level classes of Traditional, Postal History, Postal Stationery, Revenues, Open, Aerophilately, Thematics, Youth, Maximaphily, One-Frame, Postcards, First Day Covers and Modern (since 1988) were included. In addition, there were the New Zealand only classes of Adult and Youth Development and a Jury Class. The Adult Development class provided the opportunity for a new exhibitor to show from ½ to 2 frames, while Youth Development exhibits can be 8-16 sheets. The exhibits were well received. They included postage stamps from small towns around New Zealand and other stamps ranging from flora and fauna to collections featuring the Royal Family, as well as several boards of elaborately crafted embroidered postcards sent from troops in Western Europe back to their English-speaking relatives. Gary Diffen won the Grand award at the Exhibition with his Open exhibit Preparations for War and the Australians Military Campaign at Gallipoli. Stamp News - 57
Introducing the Australian Philatelic Federation The Exhibition was lined with antique cars and motorcycles. ‘Josephine’, the Train, (figure 11) was the prominent feature in the Josephine Foyer. She was one of two Double Fairlie locomotives brought from England in 1872 and began her career on the Dunedin-Port Chalmers railway line. Josephine later worked at other locations throughout the country before returning to Otago to work on the construction of the ‘Central Otago Railway Line’. She was retired from service in 1917 and sent to the scrap yard in 1920. She avoided the scrap heap and, since the
latter half of the 1920s, has been on display. There was a welcome function on Friday night that included the Robert Samuel Lecture on New Zealand Post and Telegraph at War (Robert was best known for his collection of New Zealand Postal Stationery and was editor of the still-used catalogue of New Zealand postal stationery). The Awards Night was held at the Toitu Settlers Museum.

Sharjah itself is one of the 7 Emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and is some 15 Km from the Emirates of Dubai. The Exhibition theme was “Year of Zayed”. Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan ( 1918 - 2004) was the ruler of Abu Dhabi for 38 years and the founding father and driving force behind the creation of the UAE. This was a small but well organised exhibition with 51 Exhibits in 149 frames across all classes including Literature and Picture Postcards. Exhibitors came from 6 countries within the
Arab regions - UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia as well as Indonesia and Australia. Australia was well represented by 8 exhibitors showing 9 exhibits across 35 frames (including one Literature exhibit - The Courier - Journal of the Tasmanian Philatelic Society). There were around 30 dealers present selling banknotes as well as stamps, documents and covers. Material was almost all Middle Eastern and both the Palestine and UAE Postal Authorities were present. The Palestine Postal Authority had been invited as a special guest and did a brisk trade in recent issues and official post cards. The Awards Presentation was on board a boat on Dubai Creek (Figure 13). Australia acquitted itself very well and received 4 Large Vermeil and 5 Vermeil medals.

Market Matters After 30 years, new Tasmania cancel book.
“Tasmanian Postal History - The Post Office and their Datestamps” edited by John Hardinge, a well known collector there, has recently been published by the Tasmania Philatelic Society. A superb, and YEARS overdue new opus work. Hard cover, 282 quality archive grade paper A4 sized pages, and THIRTY years of combined research in here, from a wide range of the Tassie experts. Each book is calligraphy hand numbered, author hand signed, hard case-bound with double folded dust jacket, and will NOT be reprinted, I was assured by all concerned. John Hardinge tells me he is VERY happy with the end result. Such a small run will cover about HALF the global demand when word spreads. The Hugh Freeman NSW Numeral Cancels book had the same tiny print number problem when issued - prices soared to $500 a copy very fast. “Supply Meets Demand.” Most of the 250 copies printed were pre-sold to active Tasmania Philatelic Society Members etc, some months ago, at a pre-publication price offer. Almost no copies above that number fully pre-paid 250 copies produced for the World. were printed, as the Society did not want to get caught holding unsold books. Those extras then totally sold out fast on the TPS site at $160 plus post, as you can see on this link ttps://tasstampbooks.com - and as always in these ventures, vast numbers of Tasmania collectors globally had no idea these books were being produced, and now need to source it from the trade.

He backed off a firm price deal, and chose “Auction Roulette.” This genius literally lost himself $3,000 cold in the process, as he stupidly went down the uncertain path of auctioning it, and got $3,000 less in his pocket than what I’d agreed to pay – cash, same day!

The end of World War II in 1945 saw Britain leave many food items rationed. Indeed rationing persisted in Britain until the mid-1950s. Friends and relatives in “the bread basket” of Australia literally sent very many 100,000s of heavy gift food par-

This BBC link outlines the Food Rationing in the UK well after WW2, indeed the system did not end until 1954, which might surprise many! tinyurl.com/ RationUK has more details - Meat, bacon, sugar, and butter were all rationed nationally, right up to the QE2 Coronation year in 1953.
In the late 1940s (indeed until 1954) Britons were subject to rationing. Even as late as 1950, goods such as these were still rationed in the UK - canned and dried fruit, chocolate biscuits, treacle, syrup, jellies, soap, sugar - and of course much fresh produce like milk, butter and meat, and of course petrol. Australia was the bread basket for the “Motherland” for much of this produce, which was freely available in Australian stores, and inexpensive. Rationed goods in England, that transported well such as canned and dried fruit, chocolate biscuits, treacle, syrup, jellies, soap, sugar were cheap to buy here, and of course greatly sought after in Britain.

The large Anthony Hordern department store in Sydney also ordered these labels. Shown nearby is the ONLY Anthony Hordern Food Parcel Label known to exist. Not just in used, but no mint copies are recorded as surviving, and it is not known if they too did 3/7d values.

Edition has it listed at just $7,500. VERY strange cat figure, based on the previous Public Auction result. This label clearly has a few faults, and looks like the silverfish have had a good chew at it in places. However I note it was invoiced for $10,350 at Prestige Auctions in 2008 estimate $5,000, so keen bidding at that time. It sold last month for $7,280, as it was poorly promoted, and the earlier sale figure was foolishly not mentioned. The large Fitzgerald Department Stores in Hobart Tasmania, also ordered similar large printed gummed Food Parcel labels, with the embossed 3/7d and 5/10d KGVI impressions, being supplied in same pink and blue colours as used for Myer. ACSC research shows us that Fitzgerald’s ordered 1000 of each value, but only the lower value is recorded as existing, via 2 used examples, ACSC PL3b, Cat $7,500 each. A 5/10d Fitzgeralds would be a tremendous find by someone! Anything is possible. The Victoria Department of Agriculture or also ordered the 5/10d Blue KGVI labels. One certainly sees mint examples offered now and again, but I have seldom seen used copies ever offered, even at large Auctions. I can’t recall seeing any used examples offered in recent years, and have never owned one. Stamp News - 67
Market Matters The current ACSC values of $1,000 mint, and $1,500 used for those seem well out of skew with the other types, to me at least. The USED should be 2 or 3 times as high as the current ACSC level in my view, as mint are seen around in the market. Even at $3,000 used they’d appear on the low side, to me anyway.
Rationing eased slightly in late 1940s.
By late 1949, with rationing in UK beginning to ease, the reduced demand for these parcels no longer justified the embossing, and The Myer Emporium Melbourne reverted to using adhesive stamps, or a more usual meter machine for the postage - see image nearby. The large Myer label illustrated nearby of same design as the embossed version, from January 1948 has a 5/10d Meter impression, presumably applied in-store.

The weak $A has seen a vast surge in orders from overseas, USA especially, and particularly for better pieces in the 3 and 4 figure plus range, that I mostly deal in. Other dealer friends report the same kind of story and pattern this year. Super low interest rates globally, and often nerStamp News - 69
Market Matters vous share markets, and even more nervous real estate markets in many countries, has seen a good deal of savvy money switching into better stamps. Which often rise 5% or more a year - and that rise is mostly Tax Free for private collectors. We spent last Christmas Day in Nicosia Cyprus, and were kindly invited by my stamp friend Akis Christou to lunch, for the full Greek extended family Christmas gathering - quite a wonderful experience! Next day we crossed the fortified Green Line that divides Nicosia, and toured Turkish Cyprus. Akis has a large Gold Medal winning collection of early Cyprus - most especially the CYPRUS overprints on GB stamps. He has a HUGE basement in his large home filled with collections - amazing stuff and very interesting to look over. One of his interests is the 1935 Silver Jubilee
stamp issues of Australia. He has albums and albums of them. Proofs, covers, errors, multiples, varieties - you name it. He has never visited here, but just loves that issue! He runs the largest bookstore in Cyprus - Soloneion, and has a pretty decent section there for stamp accessories, and albums etc. Margo took this photo nearby of us standing in front of part of it all, with a lot of “Lighthouse” product. We flew from there to Austria, to Denmark for while, then way down to Lisbon Portugal for New Year’s Eve, and up to Porto - very pretty place. Then a flight across to Barcelona for a few days, and back to Frankfurt for the lonnng flight home.
Windhoek here we come!
We travelled an awful lot during this year, domestically and overseas, and this Christmas fly to Korea, then Ethiopia for a few days. Then fly to Windhoek, capital of Namibia, once South West Africa, and rent a car, and wander about the game parks, and arid sand dunes etc. Then overland via the wildlife of Botswana, to Victoria Falls Zimbabwe for New Year’s Eve, then to Zambia. Fly back home via Addis Ababa Ethiopia, and then to frozen Beijing of all places, on the way home. “Thank You” to all readers globally, for the many phone calls and letters and emails with comments for AND against what has been written here, over the past year! It has been a most interesting one. “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”, to one and all, and your families. Be safe, have a great time among your family and friends and STAMPS - and enjoy the break! See you all in 2019. Glen Glen Stephens has written monthly ‘Stamp Tipster’ Columns for over 30 years - globally.
