2.	Australia 4d kangaroo the orange-yellow shade in superb very fine used well centred and perfect SG 6a for	$45.00
3.	Australia 1914 6d Engraved Kookaburra SG 19 what more can I say except this stamp is perfect mint unhinged well centred with perfect fresh gum, looking for a very fussy home for	$179.00
4.	Australia 1928 Kookaburra miniature sheet mint unhinged with superb fresh gum great colour, well centred however it is folded and the odd perforation separation is occurring, the price reflects this; in fact less than the hinged price for	$149.00
5.	Australia 1d Red KGV fine used with the CNE flaw, ACSC 71cb in the scarlet-red shade, the variety is very clear because the postmark is well placed far from the script for	$359.00
6.	Australian decimal collection all stamps are handpicked mint unhinged in four volumes of maroon hagner binders and pages. It covers the period 1966-2001 right up to the Army pair issue. There are loads of extras including a Flight block of 9, 1971 Xmas superb block of 25 on cream paper, the reverse panes of the Women in Parliament issue, 2000 Olympic sheets of 10 offset a complete set. I estimate that would be more than 150 hagner pages in the lot, the face value of the four volumes is more than $950 and the complete collection is a gift at	$849.00

8.	Cayman Islands 1907 King Edward VII 10/- mint lightly hinged (SG 34). A very well centred stamp, the only talking point is a tiny rub on his scalp (dare I call it the "Ashley and Martin" flaw?) that does not detract. A fine stamp catalogued at £160, it can be yours today for	$199.00

16.	Gilbert and Ellice Islands collection covering the period 1911 to 1994 in fine used or CTO condition, presented on KaBe hingeless pages with binder. Four nice examples of the 1911 overprints are included (½d, 2d, 2½d and 6d); followed by the full set of four 1911 Pandanus Pines and 1912 KGV set to 1/-; the 1935 Jubilee and 1948 Silver Wedding are very fine and the 1939-55 KGVI definitives are CTO and complete. From 1956 QEII onwards every set is here is CTO condition until "The Gilbert Islands" (now Kiribati) were created in late 1975. From this point the collection is mostly complete right through to 1994, and includes a few extras up the back such as booklets and MUH specimen sets that I haven’t even counted towards the final price. Some slight toning on a few stamps does not detract from the overall quality of this collection, a very fine lot catalogued at more than £750 for	$449.00
17.	Fiji collection a great lot of mostly mint stamps from 1878 to 1987 on hand-drawn pages. The oldest stamps are sorted on a simplified basis only and are generally used, with mint added from the 1930s onwards. Notable sets are: a simplified 1878-99 set to 1/- including a 4d on 2d SG 43 catalogued at £140 (cut at top); 1891-1902 series used in different perfs (24 stamps); King Edward VII mint to 1/- including SG 117 (£26); simplified KGV heads used to 1/- plus a nice 5/- SG 241 (30 stamps) and mint to 5/- (38 stamps); 1935 KGV Jubilee set mint; 1938 KGVI definitives one complete mint set (only a couple of stamps are toned), plus over a dozen shade or perf varieties both mint and used; 1948 Silver Wedding pair MLH; 1954 QEII set mint and used; 1959 set mint, 1962 set mint. From this point virtually every stamp is present in mint condition right up until the Capex ‘87 minisheet (although there is only one set of Birds and Flowers definitives present). While not 100% complete, this collection is very comprehensive and would be ideal for someone wanting the bulk of Fijian stamps for a great price. Well over £1300 total catalogue value for only	$899.00
18.	Isle of Man collection a fantastic collection of mint and used (sometimes both!) stamps on a mixture of KaBe and Lighthouse pages. It starts with 39 MUH and used stamps from the first three issues (1958-71) including different paper and phosphor varieties. From then onwards it includes at least one used set of nearly every issue until 1985, with the occasional different paper or booklet pane thrown in too; even the postage dues are complete and fine used. From 1986 to 1994 it is slightly less complete but not by much, and does include good issues such as 1987 TT 80th Anniversary set plus MS and the 1990 Queen Mother’s Birthday sheetlet of 10 MUH. This specialist lot has a total catalogue value of £475+ and is very clean, yours for	$399.00
19.	Nauru collection in brown Seven Seas hingeless album and slipcase covering the period 1916-93. Most of the stamps are fine used and in the collection I noted a complete fine used set of KGV definitives to 1/- including the die 2 2d Orange, (12) plus a complete set of the centre overprints (4) fine used, a complete fine used set of the S.S. Century ships. From 1935 Jubilee till 1990 the collection is absolutely complete again in fine used then from 90-93 there are several complete sets included as well, this fantastic lot is a gem for	$499.00
20.	Tokelau collection a nice selection of issues from this New Zealand dependency, beginning with the first issues in 1948 both MUH and used.

At the back are a handful of more recent issues including 1988 Sydpex strip of 5 mint and used (cat. £17), PhilaKorea stamp and MS mint and used plus the 1995 Year of the Pig MS with and without PostX ‘95 overprint mint and used (4 MS catalogued at £28). Over £150 value here for	$99.00
21.	Tonga collection an old stockbook of stamps from 1886 to mid-1990s in mixed mint and used condition. It is strongest in the later period but does include a number of nice early stamps: all the 1886-88 standard issues in nice used condition; 1895 2½d and 5d lightly used (SG 33 and 34); assorted 1897 definitives including 5d, 10d, 2/- and 2/6 (not fully complete, but still catalogued at over £160); 1938 Anniversary set used; 1953 definitives set complete used (cat. £21). From 1960 onwards many of the various overprinted stamps are present, plus some of the unusually shaped self-adhesive stamps (bananas, pineapples, etc). It then skips ahead to the early 1980s, with the Marine Life series used both normal and officials (there are even specimen overprints of both). From 1991 it is mostly complete MUH to 1994 including: 1990 WWF reptiles MUH; 1993 Children’s Design Comp set MUH, etc. A very mixed bag but with lots for the patient collector, the lot catalogued well over £500 for	$299.00
