	AUSTRALIAN STAMPS
1.	Australian collection covering the period 1913-1949, this old-time springback album is beautifully written up and presented. In the collection I noted more than 130 mint and used kangaroos in assorted dies and watermarks plus shades etc, including: £2 CofA watermark kangaroo (top right corner missing); £1 grey CofA wmk with a couple of crook corners however it’s nice from the front and has a lovely light strike; 10/- CofA clean used; twelve assorted used 5/- kangaroos including second wmk perf OS (heavily used). In addition there is a 6d engraved kookaburra mint and one poor used example, plus a 1d engraved KGV top left positional block of 12 mint. The 1934-49 section is most comprehensive mint and used including 1934 1/6 Hermes no wmk mint, imprint blocks, FDCs, coils, booklet panes, a mint and used set of thick paper Robes, 5/- Arms imprint, mint Arms to £1 and a fine used Arms set of 4.
