Usage. Philately's Most Important Aspect ?

.

Brilliant work from a group of volunteers, mainly CMJ helped ably by fchd in the UK, and AMark in Canada and Fletches1 in Queensland, have collectively produced this fine work above. Great work folks.

Just found something in there that otherwise would have been lost forever online.

Great work CMJ,
Keeps this great reference material alive.
A real dealer, collector and auctioneer....who shared his passion everywhere..
Not seen too often these days
cheers

Brilliant .... thank you.

Cheers, Gordon

Have to add to the plaudits for getting this thread established for future reference. Great job CMJ - Many thanks.

.
Excellent job CMJ, and the other members who assisted.

When I'm back at the office after lockdown, I'll try print/scan to pdf/copy/paste and post the magazine images from 2013 with text as actual searchable text.

That will help those that are searching the archive as the last few years cannot be found by searching for any reference words.

I'll add it to my "to do" list.

edit: and to print the entire thread takes 1303 pages.

.
Brilliant project Greg -- many thanks!

Items I Liked at Recent Australian Auctions

Michael Blake is a very methodical collector, and an inspiration. His Classic era South
Australia came within a cooee of snaring the National Grand Prix at Melbourne 2013. Mossgreen
featured on June 29 2016 the Blake later S.A. issues, amongst which was Figure
10. Forget mint of the “Long” types, up to and including the £10; they come up regularly
around the world. This is head and shoulders above the rest, in my opinion. A Dec 27 1900
large-part linen parcel tag from Wallaroo Smelting Work, to Royal Mint Melbourne, the franking
includes, remarkably, £1 x2 and £2 pair (believed to be only extant multiple, in any form).

The rate is deciphered in the description, which I won’t repeat here. Mossgreen conclude their description
with: “In our opinion, the best item in the collection”. I’ve already indicated: I wholeheartedly
concur. In fact, I will go on the record to suggest that the very respectable realization of $5952 (est
$4000), will in the not too distant future be looked back upon as “one that got away”.

It scaled down perfectly above Greg.

Well done.

What a piece.

I have a unique postally used SPECIMEN 10 pound, ''Postage and Revenue'' with Certificate that I found on my desk today.

Just found something here I'd have located nowhere else - well done again to those who rescued all this superb work.

Over 37,000 page views speaks for itself.
