Australia - Bankers box half-filled with a balance of an extensive estate that we have been selling over the past few months. A mix of old and new. There is a bit of unsorted and assorted "States", only a few ‘Roos, and then a small holding of mostly used King George V heads (a couple of the mint indicate that they have inverted watermarks). Some nice cancels and multiples are noted, including a £1 Arms block. Among the decimal era, we noted a mint set of the Explorers, Cook souvenir sheets (regular and ANPEX), plus some mint into the early 1980’s with face values to A$10. This collection has been filled with surprises, so you never know if it has one more trick up its sleeve. Estimate =

Australia - The consignor has spoken: Let the rest of it go. A beautiful, mostly mint, collection balance, starting with a few ‘Roos, a few King George V "Heads" to 1/4, the "Melbourne issue", followed by three of the four "Arms" including the £2, the higher values of the Explorer issue (including the 10/-, £1 and £2). There are a dozen different complete booklets including the Prime Ministers. "OS" overprints include a near complete range (either mint or used), plus a couple of blocks and a nice corner block of CO1 (Air mail official).

Belgian Congo #14/129 plus Back of the Book. An unexplored dealer’s stockbook with a decent offering of 1890's-1928 issues, both mint and used, with 1-15 examples of most. The mint is fresh and hinged, the used are often selected for the quality and readability of their cancels, including many from smaller communities. A quick check showed individual stamps with catalogue values up to $20.00 each, and the total catalogue value will climb quickly, as there are a few hundred stamps here. The only downside is that this 16-page Uni-Safe stockbook has been dropped a couple of times. We have somewhat successfully got most of the material back to where it should be, but more organizing will be required. You don’t see lots like this anymore! Estimate =

Bosnia and Herzegovina #30d/42f. Two pages with two groups of "Compound" perforations on the 1906 "Scenery" commemoratives, where sheets contained two or three different gauges of perforations within each sheet, giving many unusual combinations. These are listed in Scott Classic (among others). The first page has 8 used and 1 mint example from the "f" family (perf 9-1/4 and 6-1/2) while the second page has 16 examples from the "d" family (perf 6-1/2, 9-1/4 and 12-1/2). Where there is duplication, it is because the various perforations are on different sides of the stamps. The perf 6-1/2 is notorious for being blunted, and two examples are not counted because of damage. Otherwise, a very presentable group. Total 2021 Scott Classic US$696.25 =
