Many clients have sessions over two days, as detailed on page 7. Viewing on spoken to me of experiencing withdrawal symptoms. the sale days is very limited so please plan accordingly. Hopefully, as you peruse the hefty tome before you, you will feel that it’s been worth the weight (sorry, wait). We kick off with a solid miscellaneous section of collections and accumulations, followed by an attractive Of course, we haven’t been idle. On 11th September topical collection of “Birds”. we conducted two auctions. The first, Trevor Hiscock’s Australian Colonies saw many rare and beautiful stamps Under Commonwealth of Australia, Kangaroo and KGV find new homes, often at impressive prices.

The Hiscock sale was enhanced by the Western The Australian Colonies section comprises 280 lots with Australian Revenues of Mike Mulroy from Perth. This desirable material from all regions, from spectacular section was almost a sell-out, providing our vendors with classics to outstanding postal history. The strongest part an enviable overall clearance rate of 90.8%. is the Tasmania, most of which is from the Grand Prix exhibit formed by Koichi Sato RDP from Japan. On the same day, we offered Tom Frommer’s famed exhibit/collection of Australian Pioneer Air Mails. With The “Rest of the World” sections bring you more than several major players having left the market in recent 400 lots from Antarctica to Zanzibar and most places years, this sector has been prone to struggle. However, in between. Strong sections of Nauru and Papua, plus happily most of Tom’s better items attracted strong German Cameroons and Iraq, are from the Estate of the interest, the 1914 letter flown by Maurice Guillaux late Dennis Leonard from Sydney. The fabulous “Titanic” between Bendigo and Sydney being the standout, parcel label that graces our front cover is just one achieving a hammer price of $28,000 or almost double highlight of a delightful British offering. the AAMC valuation of $15,000.

Social History study of how the Third Reich descended into the madness that we know today as the Holocaust. It is unarguable that these events must never be forgotten; neither must the historical context be ignored or shied away from.

4. On a far happier note, you are probably aware by now Gary Watson and your Team at Mossgreen: that Torsten Weller has joined the Philatelic Department. Romani Benjamin, Torsten Weller, Nick Anning, Torsten has been a popular member of the trade for Yang Liu and Charles Leski (Consultant). more than 20 years and, in my opinion, is Australia’s only serious postal history dealer. His knowledge and experience will prove invaluable to our clients. He’s also a “quick study”, having easily adapted to lotting for public auction. Torsten’s style is a bit different from mine, as you can see from his work on the New South Wales pre- stamp covers and the German section, where he invested the time and effort to turn a strictly chronological collection into a well-crafted auction offering.

It’s also a great advantage to have a German-speaker on our team.

5. We are already planning our auction programme for the first half of 2017. In February we will be conducting another general auction. A major property to hand is the British Empire collection formed by Dr David Saltissi from Queensland. We will also bring you our second major offering of Picture Postcards,

At the end of March and start of April, we will have a stand at the FIAP international exhibition at Caulfield Racecourse here in Melbourne. We are now accepting appropriate consignments for a major auction event to be held immediately after the exhibition on Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th April.

Also in the pipeline is Mossgreen’s first stamp auction in New Zealand.

If you would like to be a vendor in any (or all!) of these auctions, please contact Torsten, Nick or me as soon as possible to learn how you can benefit from “The Mossgreen Difference”. 10 UNDERSTANDING OUR SYMBOLS & UNIQUE GRADING SYSTEM

By far the scarcest of all Australian decimal issues. [In January this year, the base postage rate was raised from 70c to $1.

These were distributed only to some suburban post offices in Adelaide & were on issue for only a few days, pending arrival of regular 30c issues from Stores Branch. No publicity for or notification of the issue was given & no examples were provided to the Philatelic Bureau or otherwise for distribution to New Issue Service clients.

Lot 433

433 PS A 1900 (Dec 17) envelope with a superb strike of the 'GOVERNOR-GENERAL/[arms]/FRANK STAMP/ AUSTRALIA' handstamp in blue uncancelled but with a Sydney duplex of DE17/00 alongside, embossed 'Government House, Sydney/[arms]' in red on the flap, 'EDGECLIFF/DE18/1900/NSW' arrival b/s. An extremely important cover, in excellent condition, and a marvellous first page for an Australian Postal History collection. This usage pre-dates Federation (1st January 1901) by 14 days, and is the Earliest Recorded Usage of the Frank Stamp. Although the Earl of Hopetoun had arrived in Sydney from England in mid- December, he was still merely the Governor-General-Designate. The usage of the Governor-General Frank in this period was therefore unauthorised, inappropriate and highly irregular. In fact, Hans Karman has advised that Lady Hopetoun was the offender: the cover bears her handwriting & the addressee looked after her horses. It is telling that the Frank is correctly uncancelled signifying that its validity was not accepted by the post office. However, it was not taxed, presumably as a courtesy to the illustrious sender. [A very similar example of 18.12.1900 - also with the Frank uncancelled, & untaxed - sold at the Prestige auction of 27.7.2009 for $1092] �� $1,000

[Richard Breckon states that the late fee if posted at Spencer Street RS was 6d but this cover suggests the 3d fee applicable at the GPO, Stock Exchange & Rialto also applied at the station. The 1906-07 Royal Commission of Inquiry into British New Guinea investigated discontent in the Administration to advise on "present conditions, the method of government of the Territory of Papua and the best means of their improvement"] ��$150

WORLD WAR I PRISONERS OF WAR - General & Miscellaneous

We are pleased to present the extensive collection formed by our old friend Neil Russell from England. From the outbreak of war, POW mail was required to be appropriately endorsed. The authorities quickly decided that it would be expedient to utilise handstamps rather than manually endorse each item of mail. However, because of the large quantity of mail being sent by POWs, in early-1916 - by which time virtually all POWs/internees were located in NSW - it was decided to issue forms with the required POW inscriptions pre-printed thereon. References are to "AIF Postal History" by Bob Emery (1984) & the "Supplement" (1988). In addition, many items are illustrated in "The Postal History of Australian Internees in WWI" by Elliott Finlayson & Russell (2011): they are noted as "(EFR at page XX)".

PRISONERS OF WAR POSTAL STATIONERY

Envelopes, Postal Cards & Lettersheets with printed POW 'FREE' indicia were supplied by the military authorities, not the Post Office, and are therefore not accepted by the FIP as "postal stationery". However, the FIP does accept such non-postal items as money orders, postal notes, IRCs and telegram forms, all of which makes a mockery of the exclusion of POW Envelopes etc that were 100% postal. These issues are analagous to stationery issued by private mailing services rather than the Post Office in many European countries. Those issues are accepted without question under the FIUP definition of "Postal Stationery". It is wholly illogical and capricious to exclude the Australian POW Postal Stationery from the definition.

A very early "country" letter, believed to be the earliest recorded letter to the British Isles from outside Sydney. The remarkably quick passage of only 18 weeks is explained by the writer: "This letter goes by a whaler direct to England, which is to sail tomorrow: her name is the Foxhound" and in a postscript "I beg to apologize for the slovenliness of this hasty scrawl. I reside 15 miles from Sydney, and an opportunity offers for sending it, which I am likely to lose but for the haste". George Thomas Palmer arrived at Sydney in 1806 as a lieutenant with the 61st Regiment but with permission to settle there. Governor Macquarie held him in high regard. He became a major landholder, establishing "Pemberton Grange" near Parramatta, and was one of the earliest settlers of the Canberra district, taking-up 13,000 acres at Ginninderra. �� $1,800†

BPA Certificate (1996) states "the date of [the Hobart Town cds] is not possible to decipher" and "adhesive lifted and replaced". Leading Tasmanian postal historian Randall Askeland has advised us that most mail for Victoria went via Launceston, "Clarence" departing that port on 5.11.1853, arriving Melbourne 7.11.1853, and that the Geelong mails were often put aboard a lighter in Corio Bay. He tells us "Noone has raised any issue with the stamp or the cancel" and he believes "the item is genuine in all respects". This famous cover supports the contention that Plate II printings were issued before stamps from Plate I. ��$5,000† 28 & 29 November 2016 | Mossgreen Auctions – Stamps & Postal History 129 TASMANIA (continued) Lot Type Grading Description Estimate

Ex Henry Harvey, Rodney Perry and "Lionheart II" (25.2.2016). Except for the 14/-, these are the examples illustrated by Geoff Kellow on Colour Plate 14. Gibbons, in a footnote below SG 279, states that the values offered here were prepared but were never issued.

Unique, and one of the outstanding rarities of the 1901-1912 Commonwealth period. Ex Rodney Perry. The ACSC states "Only one example is recorded...from a parliamentary presentation set", which repeats Geoff Kellow's statement in "The Stamps of Victoria" at page 314. Unlike many perforation varieties that need to be measured to be recognised for what they are, the different perf gauges on this stamp are immediately apparent and this visual recognition greatly adds to the stamp's significance and desirability. If this was an American stamp - think of the 1c "Z" Grill, that can be identified only from the reverse - it could be expected to sell for $US2,000,000+. A more immediate comparison can be drawn with the Third Watermark 5/- Kangaroo with Sideways Watermark. That ugly but unique stamp sold at auction in 2007 for $US92,000 ($A118,000) despite having obvious defects. ��$15,000 28 & 29 November 2016 | Mossgreen Auctions – Stamps & Postal History 143 VICTORIA (continued) Lot Type Grading Description Estimate

A very early & desirable letter. The addressee, William Race Allison, arrived at Hobart Town on 22.11.1822. He was granted 1000 acres on the Macquarie River & named his property "Streanshalh". He was an active participant in the "Black War" of the late 1820s to 1832 that claimed the lives of almost 900 aborigines & some 200 colonists. A state of martial law existed between 1828 & 1832, a bounty was paid for dead aborigines, & the mere 300-odd survivors were forcibly removed to remote areas including Flinders Island & Bruny Island. Very few pre-1840 items from Victoria remain in private hands. This example is far more attractive, with a superior strike of the datestamp, than the Purves/Kelly/Peace 1839 entire to Tasmania that sold at the Prestige auction of 27.7.2009 for $1207. An 1839 missionary entire to London, with filing fold & the datestamp inverted, sold at the Prestige auction of 23.9.2011 for $4370. ��$1,500 144 www.mossgreen.com.au | 28 & 29 November 2016 VICTORIA - Postal History (continued) Lot Type Grading Description Estimate

The handstamp was introduced in 1837 when Melbourne's first post office opened. It was replaced by the first datestamp in early-1839 but continued to be used until 1842 as a shipletter marking. This example is not listed in Brian Peace's census of 22 covers. There are four internal usages & two are on letters from Tasmania, but this new discovery is the only recorded example to any destination other than Great Britain! [Also included is a scrofulous 1825 letter from Hobart to Joseph James but at Launceston] The writer, states: "...I have made application for the situation as Master of the Light House and Signal Staff and I am promised it by the Arbour Master..." This dates the letter to no earlier than 1840, when Victoria's first lighthouse, at Point Gellibrand (Williamstown), was established. The addressee, Joseph James was a free settler & horse dealer. In 1840, he was jailed for insolvency. The letter refers to George Town identities "Old Quin" - Thomas Quin, a farmer but "not a gentleman"! - Samuel Sherlock, a publican, & Thomas Dryburgh, a free settler to whom convicts had been assigned.

"Aurora" returned to Antarctica in December 1912 to collect Douglas Mawson & his party. However, Mawson with Xavier Mertz & Belgrave Ninnes had set off in the same month on the Far Eastern Expedition. 300 miles out, Ninnis fell to his death in a crevasse, taking with him most of the group's food. The others turned back, supplementing their meagre rations with meat from their dogs. When Mertz also died, Mawson used a pocket-saw to cut his sled in half & dragged it the final 100 miles. The return trek took 55 days. He arrived to see the "Aurora" departing for Hobart! A rescue team of 6 left behind to search for the trio nursed Mawson back to health. They were picked up on the "Aurora's" return on 12/12/1913! By then, the radio operator had "lost his marbles". John King Davis was captain of the "Aurora" and Mawson's second-in-command.�� $1,850†

GERMANY - THIRD REICH

We are pleased to present the 30+ volume Third Reich collection formed by GS Levick from Queensland. This collection is of "German standard" throughout and for it to appear at auction in Australia will surprise many. The used stamps almost exclusively have dated circular cancels and the mint stamps are almost exclusively "postfrisch". Key items have been certified by German expertisers. There is great historical and thematic interest throughout, capped off by an extensive range of postal stationery, covers and highly artistic propaganda postcards. While the subject matter may offend some, we believe it is an important element of the historical record. Nazi Germany was a mass of contradictions: on the one hand, spectacular industrial achievement and Teutonic pride; on the other, the tragic excesses of Hitler's megalomania and the appalling "Final Solution".

GERMANY - THIRD REICH - Picture Postcards

The following 14 lots present an insight into the events of 1927-39 within both Germany and Europe, which in turn escalated into World War II and the unspeakable horror of the Holocaust. The first two lots of predominantly photographic cards are a historical documentary of the period; the following dozen lots of Propaganda cards provide the socio-political commentary. Real-photo cards show the astounding scale of the Nuremburg Rallies at a time when the world was still in the grips of the Depression, and the vast crowds are quite overwhelming. The juxtapositions - of a youthful, energetic Hitler manoeuvring against an aging, infirm Hindenburg; of the festive banners, eagles and tailored uniforms against the brutality to follow - are stark. It is no accident that red is the predominant colour of the Propaganda cards, as it was for Lenin’s Soviet and Mao’s Cultural Revolutions. On the one hand, the power of the images sounds its own warning; on the other, our awareness of the artistic talent being subverted should not prevent us from appreciating it. This is political art at its finest. Naturally, we are acutely aware of the highly sensitive nature of this material. We have therefore chosen not to illustrate the more overtly Nazi symbolism in the catalogue. However, for historical reference purposes, the images are available on our website. If you view those images, please be aware that many are highly charged, anti-Semitic, and otherwise objectionable.

1115 C B 1912 complete 'MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO/...CHELMSFORD' parcel label (150x95mm) with private 'PARCEL POST.' & '11APR1912' handstamps both in violet, KEVII 6d purple tied by heavy 'CHELMSFORD'-in-Bars cancel & with part large-boxed 'PARCEL [Coat of Arms] CHELMSFORD/...' datestamp at left confirming the postage of "6", addressed to"Marconi Operator/RMS Titanic/ co The White Star Line/Southampton", affixed to a slightly larger piece from the packet, minor creasing & blemishes. A marvellous piece of "Titanic" memorabilia that missed the sailing of the ship at noon on 10th April. Considering the source, addressee & low postage rate, it seems certain that the packet contained telegram forms. The packet was actually handed to the first officer of "Titanic's" sister-ship, the "Olympic", with the intention of it being delivered to the "Titanic" in New York. However, as is well known, on the night of 14-15.4.1912, the "Titanic" - on her maiden voyage - collided with an iceberg & sank, with the loss of some 1500 lives. In "Maritime Disaster Mail", Norman Hoggarth and Robin Gwynn state "...The only surviving items with postal associations are in the class of fascinating ephemera...several postmarked facing slips used by OS Woody, one of three American postal clerks on the Royal Mail ship...There are [two recorded] surviving articles posted on "Titanic" & taken off the ship [at Southampton] before the trans-Atlantic portion of its journey. And there exist a letter & a postcard written but not posted on board by two survivors..." About a dozen of the postal slips - post office stationery, not postal stationery - are known, of which several are institutionalised. John Woolfe's example sold at auction in 2006 for £6240. Another example - minor stains - sold at auction in 2002 for £11,763. In our opinion, this parcel label is the most evocative and most important postal item associated with this most famous of maritime disasters. This extraordinary item survived only because it arrived after the departure of the ill-fated "Titanic". This is the first time that it has appeared in the philatelic market, having recently been "discovered" in a provincial general auction in England. It is believed to have been held since 1912 by the family to whom it was given by the First Officer of the "Olympic", and is offered with a piece of unused notepaper headed with embossed 'On board RMS Oceanic', plus two small original photographs, one captioned "Wireless/Apparatus" & the other "Alec Bagot/Marconi Operator/on RMS Olympic". ��$20,000

[We are mindful of the fact that many "Titanic" cards are actually of her sister-ship "Olympic" with "Titanic" captions. It seems highly unlikely that two contemporary American cards could actually be of the doomed ship] The card signed "Ella" is believed to be from Ella Bertha Holmes White, a Boston socialite & First Class passenger aboard the "Titanic", who survived the disaster. At the official inquiry she gave scathing testimony about the crew of her lifeboat, labelling them "inept & rude". Of the collision with the iceberg, she characterised the incident as "going over about a thousand marbles". This may be the postcard recorded by Hoggarth & Gwynn: see previous lot. (6 items) ��$500
