From 1937 the KGVI section is absolutely complete in mostly mint condition (although the 10/- dark blue is thinned), and the QEII stamps are 95% complete up to 1975 (simplified basis) in mixed mint and used condition. For good measure, up the back are a few pages of watermark varieties such as 1912 KGV ½d green wmk inverted and reversed mint with selvedge, 1929 UPU inverted wmks used and lots of odd KGVI and QEII stamps mint and used inverted wmk.

There is quite a bit of toning throughout but mainly on the used stamps, and with a minimum catalogue value over £120 this fun lot is great value for	$69.00
33.	Omnibus collection selected Commonwealth omnibus issues from the KGVI and early QEII period housed on quadrille pages in a springback binder.
