Allocationsinclude ‘G24’, ‘24½’, ‘25’, ‘32’, ‘64’-’66’, ‘71’ &’77’ which we have no reason to doubt but which we have not validated. We didnote a Western Australia 1d Swan in the place assigned to ‘G27’ (presumably becaused this “matches” the legendary salmoneosin UV reaction) and a couple obviously rough paper (one ‘OS’ perfin) not where they ought to be.

1472 U 1d Reds, 2½kg on Paper (plus some off-paper in two envelopes) with smooth & rough papers & perf ‘OS’ issues.

Background Notes about the One Penny Georgian Head Die Proofs

On 30/12/13 Perkins Bacon was awarded the contract to produce a number of steel dies and from these to produce four printing plates

of the 1d. Seymour Bennett, the Inspector of Stamps from Somerset House, was appointed by the Australian Government to oversee

the contract and to ensure the quality of the work. It was decided that Fred Pearce from De La Rue would be employed under private

contract to engrave the dies for Perkins Bacon.

As a consequence of this arrangement there are De La Rue die proofs which are actually engraver’s proofs used by the engraver to

check on the quality and development of the die. At various times the die was transfered to Perkins Bacon and Perkins Bacon

produced their own proofs which were supplied, via Seymour Bennett, to Australia House for comment and approval. When the final

state 4 die proof was approved, Seymour Bennett personally pulled a set of proofs which were cut-down and stuck on buff

presentation cards.

For the following six lots we have shown the image of the whole card on the left and an enlargement of the die on the right

A recent discovery by a Scottishdealer and the only recorded example. Reserved at $75,000. Michael Drury Certificate (2013)additionally signed by George Henze, Scott Starling, David Terrington & Geoff Wotherspoon.

[This exciting new discovery was found in a general Australia collection bought at auction inScotland. The buyer, an Ebay trader listed the stamp (along with many others from the collection) ata starting price of 99p describing the sideways watermark but blissfully unaware of its significance.He was subsequently contacted by a couple of experienced collectors who explained that no suchwatermark variety was known to exist. He sensibly de-listed the item and sought the advice of theproprietor of Kinross Stamp Auctions who upon examination of the stamp realised that it may be asignificant new discovery. He in turn made contact with British dealer Ian Perry, a highly respectedspecialist dealer in Australian stamps, to act as agent in the knowledge that Ian would be attendingthe recently held ‘Australia 2013’ Stamp Show in Melbourne. At the show Ian presented the stampto leading KGV specialists in attendence with a view to obtaining a certificate. Having achieved agood certificate, and fully aware of Phoenix Auctions’ recent runaway successes with the StuartHardy KGV & Kangaroo auctions, he consigned this unique item to us confident in the knowledgethat we will give this wonderful new find the greatest possible exposure.] $80,000
