Randomly selected (mostly) used singles on a couple of stock pages with individual gems, "lookers" and some that need deciphering. Noted the Shakleton Expedition overprints (#121A), a nice Victoria Land overprint (#130D mint), 1/2d Auckland Exhibition overprint (#130E), The Dunedin Exhibition set used, two examples of the 3/- Admiral and the two low values from the Christchurch Exhibition set with show cancels! Some of the better 19th century material includes some "Sidefaces" with nice cancels and 9 with ads on the back (most are 3d to 6d denominations). There are six copies of the 5/- Mount Cook from the 1898 Pictorial issue and despite having postal cancels five of them have embossing indicating revenue usage. The condition is mixed, and many of the earlier would benefit from a soaking. Enormous catalogue value and eye appeal. Cancels, printings, perforations are all unchecked. Estimate =
