Sale #76 worldwide Collections

I've always liked collectors who accumulate classic material with the intention of sorting it out in the future because these are the real collections where there is a good chance of adding value by subsequent collector-owners making real 'finds'. This is one such 'collection' of Australia and Australian States (a great area to work with because the States are so complicated - for anybody prepared to put in the effort - this is where commitment can pay dividends... Presented here, by a collector who is retiring from philately, is an old A4 sized 'Pronto' 32 sides (page) stockbook, with 21 pages well-filled, predominantly tightly arranged used ranges well displayed, commencing Australia 'Roos' arranged by denomination from perhaps a few roos to up to circa 15 duplicated stamps - values from ½d through to 2 shilling, just one x 5s. Completely unchecked by us for wmks/types pmks/c.t.o., odd perfins noted. Similarly unchecked ranges KGV heads thru to 1s 4d, ovpts/perfins etc. The collection rolls out in like fashion for the 'States' - commencing Victoria, well loaded from very mixed condition imperfs, odd Stamp Duty' noted, followed by Queensland, good ranges imperf / perf chalons for Tasmania (usual cleaned fiscals noted - including a plausible imperf 2d green, mint with gum - stc £5,000 but cleaned and certainly re-gummed). South Australia from few 'imperfs' - noted 1 s. red-brown wmk large star perforate cds used ovpt. M.B. Marine Board, well worth checking with apparent 'blind' roulette to righ hand side, New South Wales follows from 'imperfs', then not so 'punchy' Western Australia 'Swans' perf types only - but possible postmark interest. Condition overall very mixed, many hundreds. Great opportunity for specialist - please ask for scans...
