Hong Kong : (SG 54b) 1898 (1st April) 10c on 30c grey-green, SURCHARGE DOUBLE with equal intensity, from position 17 of the third printing showing broken 'EN', very fine mint, and with 2011 BPA photo certificate signed by Schneider, Granger and Taylor, probably the most knowledgeable experts in the field today. To put the rarity of this stamp into perspective, the 10c on 30c with Chinese characters similarly with double surcharge has been recorded incl. within a complete mint pane, and a handful of singles (currently priced at £12,000 by SG). ONLY one row in a single pane became doubly printed, and the row comprised a setting of six subjects (incl. the above variety showing 'EN' broken); Moving on to the same stamp issue without Chinese characters which this is, ONLY ONE OTHER EXAMPLE IS KNOWN and unpriced by SG, and to find one with this combination of broken letters is almost certainly unique. A Hong Kong and indeed Asian philately rarity of the highest calibre. (image available) [US9]

Australia : (SG 44) 1916 WWI issued narrow crown watermark £1 chocolate and dull blue 'kangaroo', fresh well-centred left hand marginal rule example of extraordinary colour, quality and condition. Full fresh white original gum, merest hint of a gum ripple, so lightly hinged that this stamp has previously been offered as of never-hinged appearance. Exhibition condition, as near to perfection in a 'Roo' high value as one could ever hope to see. If you seek the best, you have found it for this is a rarity in this condition Cat £3000 (image available)

British Post Offices in Siam : (SG 20c) 1882-85 BANGKOK Double overprint 'B' 8c. Orange wmk Crown CA, Perf 14, 1882 Straits ovptd 'B' Type 1, variety overprint double, part Bangkok CDS used example, one of the rarest of the double overprints. An exceptionally difficult stamp to locate in cds condition, due to delicate colour, this being a particularly fine example, described on the BPA colour photo-certificate (2019) as bearing manuscript line at foot, creases (absolutely minimal), soiled (barely) and a little rubbed (hardly), is genuine - most of which, apart from the authenticity, is irrelevant because a better example hardly exists. Crucially, clearly defined double 'B' overprint. Exceptionally rare. Cat £4250 (image available)

Gibraltar : (SG Z ??) 1855 Great Britain USED in Gibraltar: The Discovery copy - UNLISTED BY STANLEY GIBBONS of the 1855 (GB SG Nr.21) 1d red-brown P16 wmk small crown Die II cancelled by clear well-positioned 'A26' SG Z3 canceller type. This stamp is unlisted by SG as cancelled by the small Z3 'A26' canceller type - yet this example comes with BPA 27 NOV 1967 certificate of authenticity - stating genuine but thinned/fault, it is also misperfed, signed by prestigious expert 'Robson Lowe' and well-known 'Pemberton' Experts and one other signatory. As discovery copy the buyer should show this stamp to SG for classification and a new SG number, in the meantime let's consider value. This stamp cannot be 'less' rare than the 1841 1d imperf SG Z16 catalogued at £2,500, and being 'unique' after 163 years should in our opinion really command a catalogue value approaching double that value. Consequently we're starting this 'new discovery' example off at a 'tad' below £1,250=: certainly the price will reduce till sold but it will not be given away - so how far a reduction and how long offered for sale is another matter. A true treasure gem for the Gib 'specialist' collector (image available)
Lot 20125
Gold Coast : (SG ) 1907-13 KEVII, the UNISSUED SG UNLISTED 20s MCA wmk purple and black / red, mentioned in SG Part I footnote as prepared and exists with 'SPECIMEN' overprint but was not distributed by the UPU. A genuine postally used example, good colour, fine used and no faults, believed to be the companion stamp to the similarly unissued KEVII 10s SG69c of which only one example without specimen overprint is known, this therefore being the only example postally used 20s example extant without specimen overprint, consequently being the 'proving' stamp and offered with extension for submission to the RPS or BPA as required. Suit specialist collector for exhibition standard collection and ongoing research. Unique ? (image available)

Great Britain - QV (line engraved) : (SG 5 Plate 1) 1840 2d blue plate 1 letters D-A to D-D, incredibly a 4 margins horizontal strip of 4 from close but clear base of D-C & D-D, to three quarter HUGE margins and no faults, bar impression of black maltese cross showing as slight indent upon right hand stamp D-D, fine colour, no creases or other faults, each stamp cancelled by single indeterminate black maltese cross. Pairs catalogue SG £2,000 - x 2 = £4,000 + we estimate premium for strip 100% = Extrapolated SG catalogue value £8,000. We searched on-line for a similar calibre 4 margin horizontal strip sold / offered, the nearest we could find being a horizontal strip of 3 - four margin but cut into on the right-hand stamp which sold for £829 in an eBay auction against multiple bids. No comparison against a 4 margin strip of four with no faults - but, at least a starting point to establish value. We estimate this strip to be worth at least double the eBay realisation. SG had nothing comparable except a marginal strip of 3 fine used at £9,500 or a strip of 6 on a cover to HMS Gorgon at £22,500. Makes our starting price look positively cheap. RARE strip of four. Cat £8000 (image available)

Great Britain - QV (line engraved) : (SG 53) 1870 1½d rose-red (plate 1) ERROR of lettering OP-PC, 100% perfect centring, design clear of perforation upon all four sides, I have never seen this rare stamp with such perfect centring, confirmed by on-line research, not a single example located for sale came even close. Add clear letters all four corners and fine even colour - the OP-PC error is rarely found with all four letters clear confirming authenticity beyond doubt. 125% SG Premium catalogue value example. If you collect the best line engraved I challenge you to find a better used clear corner letters perfectly centred example at any price. Cat £4500 (image available)

Great Britain - QV (surface printed) : (SG 135) 1867-83 10 shilling greenish grey letters B-G, white paper watermark anchor 'GEORGE ST EDIN(BURGH) (18)83' steel CDS cancel North-East, clear of profile. Light 'Richter' + dealer's proofer's signature upon reverse, neither affects appearance. Beautifully centred superb colour example with excellent perfs and no faults, simply stunning stamp, as close to perfection as one could ever hope to expect. London retail up to £4,000+, catalogue value includes CDS well-centred premium. Exhibition quality. Cat £7875 (image available)
Lot 20315
Great Britain - QV (surface printed) : (SG 133) 1882 £5 Orange blued paper high value letters C-J sound average used cancelled by single obliterator, well-centred example, fractional short corner perf SE, otherwise an extremely difficult space to fill at an affordable price for one of QV's rarest stamps catalogued £12,500 (a space which is usually filled by a 'specimen' overprinted unused stamp). We've seen sound average used singles offered for as much as £2,500 to £3,000= - perhaps making the opening price at which this most popular key high value is offered - appear to be something of a 'snip' Cat £12500 (image available)
Lot 20383
Great Britain - KGV : (SG N14(15)) 1913 Royal Cypher ½d Deep blue-green, the famous 'Myrtle' shade, unmounted mint south-west corner marginal control 'L 18' block of six. Natural gum bend affects two values, one fractionally toned perf/ original paper inclusion below neck upper left-hand stamp, hinge remnant in margin, these being trivial imperfections, otherwise exceptionally rare brilliant fresh myrtle colour control block of 6. 'London' retail as singles at £225 each alone exceeds £1,350= but try finding another unmounted mint control multiple of this rare shade, if such exists. As near to perfection as we shall ever see, we estimate this to be a £2,000+ retail multiple in some quarters Cat £2000 (image available)

(incl. pl. 8 x 6, pl. 20 x 3 etc.), 29 stamps are unused no gum (incl. plate 9 cut into at right) and the rest used (incl. pl. 9 and a good minority with cds cancels). The condition is mixed as to be expected, but many fine items are noted incl. mint pair and strip. The whole would benefit from remounting, and the replacement of a few poor stamps. Nevertheless, a fantastic achievement by one collector, which deserves to be taken forward. Total Minimum Cat. Value £38,500 (taken as cheapest where plate numbers are unclear).

Lot 864
Australia - States : 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... HEAVY LOT, OVERSEAS BIDDERS PLEASE ENQUIRE FOR SHIPPING COST (One 'Pronto' Stock-book) [US2]
Lot 9443
Great Britain - Covers - QV : 1820s-1950s Just how often does an original archive turn up these days? Looking back, I remember being on the periphery of the discovery of the ‘Corsini’ correspondence – even today when such letters turn up they seem to be avidly snapped up. But, all those tales of Solicitor’s cellars and crate-fulls of penny blacks on cover seem to be flights of fancy don’t they. Well, not any longer; I’d say this is the first original archive we’ve seen in thirty years. That’s remarkable, utterly remarkable. Understandably the vendor wished to keep the entire archive intact, preserving it for posterity. Unfortunately (but fortunate for the owner) the discovery of a 4 margin 1d black rare Plate XI on cover within the archive significantly ‘skewed’ the value of the archive increasing the estimate value by 5 figures upward so that the archive ‘intact’ - valued at £20,000+ was sufficient to deter most buyers. The plate XI cover has now been sold - thereby presenting postal historians and historic wine researchers/ wine aficioandos an unique unparalled opportunity to acquire the entire archive (excluding one cover only for which a scan is available) at a much more affordable collector/researcher’s price. This being the archive of Pulling & Co., Wine merchants of Hereford. The archive includes price lists, advertising cards, invoices dating from the 1820s, many 100s – at first we thought probably high hundreds of items housed in three large tubs, but when the team actually waded through we counted an extraordinary approximately 3,400 items of which in the region of half appear to be philatelic with a substantial balance in documents, receipts, invoices, uncancelled letters, and including hundreds of ‘Pulling’s’ own brand bottle labels, cards/marketing material etc. Highlights include 1d black Plate 10 on entire letter (4 margin but aged) from Worcester MY 11 1841 tied black Maltese Cross, close at top right otherwise four margins. There are a few other 1d black covers and a three margin 1840 2d blue on 1843 cover from Dublin, very late usage. Noted are many imperf and perf 1d red covers including much postmark interest, Irish, Spoons, etc. Invoices to Pulling & Co. postmarked from Cognac, France include four 1851-52 covers bearing Ceres imperf 40c orange pairs and three with Ceres imperf 40c orange horiz strips of four, including one 4 margins and unfolded – SG catalogue £600 - £700 each stamp depending upon shade and excluding premium for strips. An original lot, offered completely intact as received and condition variable throughout, but obviously including ‘plum’ items, excellent lot for a wine enthusiast with huge scope for research. Although perhaps not of pecuniary value what I particularly like about this archive is the social history and the fabulous engraved ‘letterheads’ and designs of invoices and receipts redolent of the period. This archive is the only lot offered in this auction which may be personally viewed at our offices, strictly by appointment only.
