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] 1,000 434 C B 1901 envelope with 'QUEENSLAND CLUB' embossing on the flap, to England with largely superb strike of 'GOVERNOR-GENERAL/[Coat of Arms]/FRANK STAMP/AUSTRALIA' h/s in blue with defaced Brisbane d/s of SP19/01 alongside, minor soiling & corner opening tear at upper-right but clear of the Frank.

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. 1,800T Page:119 Website:www.mossgreen.com.au Nov 28, 2016

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".

Lot 869 869 F A B1 - £1 KEVII Irregular Compund Perf 12½x11x11x12½ BW #V129 (SG 453a), CTO with 'MELBOURNE/MR22/11' cds, grossly undercatalogued at $5000 (but £12,000 in Gibbons). 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

Most examples of this and the next two lots are CTO from presentation/collector sets. Mint - and commercially used - examples are much scarcer, which is not reflected in the ACSC prices (2004). Gibbons have not yet listed and priced 'OS' perfins on State issues which, in our opinion, is an unfortunate shortcoming of that reference work. 750

Lot 875 875 CB 1839 lengthy cross-written entire to "RW Allison/Streanshall/Macquarie River/VDL" headed "Port Phillip/Sunday July 8th 1839" and signed "ER Bostock" with very early usage of the ovoid first type 'MELBOURNE/[crown]/ --JU/18[39]/NEW.S.WALES' datestamp - with inverted month slug - & very fine boxed 'SHIPLETTER/20AU20/1839' backstamp of Hobart, rated "11" for inland transit Hobart-Macquarie River, minor soiling. 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

Ex Lot 876 876 C C/D 1841 (c.) entire headed "Melbourne August" & signed "WH James" to his father "Joseph James/George Town/VD Land" with a complete & almost very fine strike of the undated 'MELBOURNE/NSW' handstamp on the flap, a bit soiled but most presentable. 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. 1,850T BRITISH COMMONWEALTH OCCUPATION FORCES (B.C.O.F.)
