3 Page:3 Sep 01, 2018 Introduction Torsten Weller Gary Watson Nick Anning Max Williamson Yang Liu Welcome to the second Abacus auction of Stamps, Postal History and Picture Postcards. Our first auction on 19 May was a resounding success. We sold just over 80% of the lots, for more than 90% of the total estimates for the auction. Market watchers will know that, for a general auction, this was an excellent outcome for our vendors. We received more than 450 absentee bidsheets, handled numerous phone bidders, and had almost 100 people on the day clamouring for a seat. Most importantly, afternoon tea was a triumph! Vendors were paid out on or before the due date, proving that it is integrity and not a trust account that makes all the difference. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the enthusiastic support and outpouring of goodwill from our discerning local and international clientele. To our bidders and vendors alike, we extend our thanks and appreciation. For this sale, the Australian section includes some outstanding and unusual stamps, a fine offering of postal stationery, and many thousands of covers, from rare single items to large and bulky accumulations. The Australian Colonies/States includes extensive sections of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania mostly from the Novocastrian Collection. All these sections include rare stamps and numerous single-issue studies that offer potential for further development or re-sale. Also featured here are a lovely collection of the NSW Centennial Issue, and Tony Presgrave s South Australian Surcharges. Not to be outdone, the Victorian section includes Ultra-High Denominations with a mint 25 and Specimen stamps, the balance of Max Watson s Barred Numerals, and a high-quality collection of 20th Century datestamps. Rest of the World includes an array of miscellaneous lots and collections, very fine British West Africa, high-quality Europe, desirable Papua, never-before-offered Malaya and Thailand, and interesting United States. The stand-out section is the late John Bell s Pre-Stamp Postal History of Portugal, the first time for many years that a serious pre-stamp collection from any of the European nations has been offered in Australia. Many of you will know that Max Williamson has joined our team. Max has been in the auction trade since the early 1980s, when he started with Stanley Gibbons (Aust) as a junior. In more recent times he has become highly regarded for his knowledge and expertise in the Sporting Memorabilia field. Max is working closely with Nick Anning in putting together our Coin, Banknote & Sporting Memorabilia sales, the first of which was held on 22 July. The extensive Cricket portion of that auction was hugely successful and with late sales virtually all the lots have found new homes. This raises the question of what other material we can offer for sale on your behalf. In addition to the fields you already know us for - plus Coins, Banknotes & Sporting Memorabilia - we can assist you with medals & militaria as well as all manner of paper collectables such as rare books, posters, maps, share scrip etc. We do not offer furniture, antiques, art, jewellery or motor vehicles, however in all these fields we will be pleased to recommend you to quality firms in Melbourne that will offer you the same kind of professional service that we bring to our areas of expertise and interest. For appropriate high value or bulky consignments, we can arrange to collect from you. Just in the past couple of months we have attended the Newcastle Stamp Show and returned along the coast to pick up several large holdings; Gary has twice flown interstate specifically to accept collections; and Max and Nick have recently attended the Petersham Stamp Fair, making a series of calls in both directions to accept material for our future sales. In September, Torsten can accept material at our stand at Stampex in London, and in October we will be visiting the USA & Europe. Finally, as always, we wish you success with your bidding in this sale.

4 Page:4 Sep 01, 2018 Guide to Descriptions, Symbols & Grading At Abacus Auctions we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional enhancements. It is important that you understand our Symbols and Grading System because these - along with the illustration - form part of the description. We provide this additional information so that you will always be satisfied with the quality of the material you purchase from us. In the event that we have missed a tear or a thin and consequently over-graded an item, we WANT you to return it for a full refund. We stand behind the Abacus Grading System. 1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and printed in red, the item is illustrated: e.g The second column contains a Symbol which describes the item(s) contained in the lot: ** Mint (unmounted with original gum) A Albums and Accessories * Mint (mounted with original gum) B Booklets Ω Unused (without gum; or regummed) C Cover or Card (regular size) Δ Piece CL Cover (long) O Used (quality unspecified) CX Cover (oversize) V Neat Postmark (most of stamp design clear) E Essay F Neat Postmark (across at least half of design) L Literature G Untidy or Indistinct Postmark P Proof H Heavy or Poorly-Struck Postmark PS Postal Stationery S Stamp (used in Postmarks lots) R Reprint 3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from A to D. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded A is very fine; it has no faults. B items are fine with minor imperfections. A C item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated D. Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated A+. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition. An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an A-. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an A- or B is a matter of degree. NB: An expertiser s signature or handstamp on a cover or the reverse of a stamp will not normally be cause for downgrading the quality of an item: such marks will be mentioned and you should make your decision as to whether or not such an item is of the standard that you personally require. Occasionally, the symbol A to C will appear in brackets: eg (B). This signifies that the item has been renovated or repaired and improved to the grade indicated by the letter. The brackets indicate a qualified grading, the cause for which will be mentioned in the description. 4. The fourth column is used for perforated stamps, and also for lots listed under the sub-heading Postmarks. For perforated stamps this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter A to D relates to centring. A stamps are very well centred; B stamps are slightly off-centre; C stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; D stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design. [NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19th Century American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus C, and even D, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a B stamp will be above-average and an A stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.] Following the letter A to D is a number 1 to 4. A stamp with all perforations intact is 1. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the grading to 2. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a 3 grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a 4. [NB: A stamp graded A1 is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many issues, B2 or even C3 may be normal and quite acceptable.] For lots listed under the sub-headings Postmarks and Ship/Paquebot Markings or similar, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike of the marking itself, and completeness. Quality is graded from A (very fine) to D (poor). Completeness is graded from 1 (complete) to 5 (identifiable only). + is used for superb strikes; - is used for postmarks that are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark. 5. The Estimate in the right-hand column is our estimate of value in Australian Dollars for each lot. You may bid at, above or below the Estimate. The reserve price is set at 75% of estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step) for almost every lot, and bids below this will not be accepted. If a lot attracts GST for Australian buyers, the estimate is printed in blue followed by a small T. 6. We use the following standard abbreviations throughout the descriptions: o.g. original gum cds circular datestamp PPC picture postcard opt(d) overprint(ed) d/s datestamp M/S(s) miniature sheet(s) mss manuscript; handwritten h/s handstamp ERD earliest recorded date o/o opened-out b/s backstamp LRD latest recorded date

5 Page:5 Sep 01, 2018 Terms of Sale - Public Auction 1. ABACUS: Abacus Auctions Pty Ltd, a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the Auctioneer. Abacus is a member of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association (APTA) and adheres to the APTA Code of Ethics. 2. DESCRIPTIONS: Abacus endeavours to describe lots fully and accurately. The Description of a lot comprises the Symbols and Grading System (as set out on the opposite page), the written description, any illustration of the lot or part of the lot, and any amendments thereto published in Saleroom Notices and/or on the Abacus website. 3. ESTIMATES & RESERVES: The Estimate is in Australian Dollars. The Reserve is set at 75% of the Estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step) unless otherwise indicated in the Description. Bids below the Reserve will not be accepted. Where Offer appears instead of an Estimate, there is no Reserve and the Starting Price is at the Auctioneer s discretion if there are no bids. 4. BIDDING: Bids may be placed before the auction by mail, phone, or through the Abacus website up until such time as notified (Absentee Bids), or during the auction in person, over the phone (upon at least 24 hours notice; see website for special conditions) or through an Agent (Room Bids). Agents must advise Abacus of the person(s) for whom bids are being placed or else the Agent will be personally liable as the Buyer. Abacus has absolute discretion to refuse to accept Bids for any reason whatsoever. 5. STARTING PRICES & HAMMER PRICES: The Starting Price of a lot will be one Bid Step over the second-highest Absentee Bid, or if no such bids have been received, the Reserve. Absentee Bids are executed only up to the amount required to purchase a lot at one Bid Step above the second-highest Absentee Bid or Room Bid. In the event that tied Absentee Bids are the highest bids, a lot shall be sold at the tied amount to the earliest bid received (as determined by the Auctioneer). The Hammer Price is the price at which a lot is sold to the Buyer. Lots marked T attract GST on the Hammer Price when sold to Australian-resident Buyers only. 6. BID STEPS: Abacus uses the following Bid Steps: Up to $50 $2 - $750 $ $10000 $250 $50 - $150 $5 $750 - $1500 $50 $ $15000 $150 - $10 $ $100 $ $ $ over 00 5% approx. Abacus reserves the right to raise or lower non-conforming Absentee Bids depending on the bidder s apparent intention. 7. BUYER: The Buyer is the person to whom a lot is sold by Abacus, either as the highest bidder at auction or the earlier bidder in the case of tied bids, or upon acceptance of a post-auction offer, or by any other means. In the event of a dispute, Abacus shall have absolute discretion in deciding who is the Buyer. Legal title to a lot does not pass to the Buyer until full Payment is received. 8. BUYER S PREMIUM: Abacus charges a Buyer s Premium of 19.8% which is added to the Hammer Price of each lot sold. 9. PAYMENT: Payment of the Hammer Price, the Buyer s Premium, any applicable GST, shipping & insurance charges (together the Invoice Total) for all lots sold to the Buyer are due and payable to Abacus immediately upon sale (Room Bids) or upon receipt of invoice (Absentee Bids). Payment must be made in Australian Dollars unless otherwise agreed by Abacus. If the Buyer does not make Payment of the Invoice Total in full within 30 days from the due date of the invoice, Abacus may at its absolute discretion exercise the following rights (or any one or more of them) to - 1) add an accounting fee of $10 plus 2% interest per month (or part thereof) to the Invoice Total; 2) apply any monies due at any time from Abacus to the Buyer in Payment of all or part of the Invoice Total; 3) terminate the sale, retain any monies paid, re-offer the lot(s), and recover any shortfall plus costs from the Buyer; or 4) take legal action against the Buyer for breach of contact. 10. RETURN OF LOTS: No lot may be returned except where there is an error in the Description. Returns are subject to the lot being in the same condition as sold, and in particular that the lot or items within it have not been immersed in water or other fluid, nor treated by any process, nor marked by an Expert or Expert Committee. These further restrictions also apply - 1) a lot that has been inspected by the Buyer or by the Buyer's Agent cannot be returned for any reason whatsoever; 2) a lot that is illustrated in the catalogue or on the website, or of which an illustration has been supplied to the Buyer or to the Buyer s Agent cannot be returned for any reason that is apparent from the illustration; and 3) a lot that is offered as is, or expressed to be a "range", "group", "selection", "array", "collection", "accumulation" or similar, or contains more than 10 items (except a set of stamps) cannot be returned for any reason whatsoever. 11. CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY & EXTENSIONS: The Buyer may request that the sale of a lot be made conditional upon the receipt of a satisfactory Certificate of Authenticity with the sale to be on Extension. Such a request must be made in writing prior to the sale of the lot, and Abacus shall have absolute discretion whether to grant the request and to which expert or expert committee it shall submit the lot for a Certificate. An Extension request will generally not be granted if the lot is offered with a recent Certificate or if the stamp(s) has/have perforated initials (perfins). Where an Extension request is granted, the Buyer must make full Payment for the lot under Clause 9 and bear all costs of obtaining the Certificate. If the Certificate is unsatisfactory, the Buyer is entitled to Return the lot for a full refund including Certificate costs. A Certificate shall be considered unsatisfactory only if it states that a lot is materially different from its Description. Where a lot is described as defective or not genuine in any respect, a Certificate is not unsatisfactory merely because it mentions any further shortcomings not listed in the Description. Where the expert or expert committee is unable to render an opinion, this does not constitute an unsatisfactory Certificate. 11. GOVERNING LAW: The Terms of Sale shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria. 12. ACCEPTANCE: Placing a Bid by any method constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these Terms of Sale.

A very desirable cover to a scarce destination. Ex Max Watson. Cockatoo (1) ; renamed Narrigal [Goldmining. Central Highlands: not to be confused with Cockatoo (2) in the Dandenongs] 1878 (Dec 23) cover to New York endorsed "via San Francisco" with 6d blue tied by Ballarat duplex, boxed straight-line 'PAID ALL' h/s in red alongside and 'SAN FRANCISCO/JAN/30/PAID ALL' cds in red on the face, minor edge faults and some gum discolouration around the stamp. Not included in Ben Palmer's Census. Victoria was not a party to the 1870 treaty between NSW and the USA which gave rise to the Sydney 'PAID/ALL' two-line markings. Up until around mid-1878, Victorian mail passing through Sydney on its way to the USA received these markings to indicate the Australian postage had been paid, but was then assessed incoming steamship fees at San Francisco. The little-known 1878 Postal Convention between Victoria and the USA set an 'all-inclusive' rate of 6d per ½oz and presumably at this time Victoria introduced its own straight-line 'PAID ALL' marking for mail to the USA. In The Informer (SAS/O, Volume 64 No 4, 2000) a cover from Geelong (April 1, 1879) bearing this marking is illustrated, but the marking is attributed to New Zealand (which we believe to be incorrect). This is the only other example seen by us (Dec 1) cover to Switzerland with Three-Issue franking of Astley 1d (fault) plus Naish 6d & 'STAMP DUTY' 2d tied by BN '866' of 'WANDIN YALOAK' (ERD) with 22mm 'LILYDALE' (LRD) below, Swiss 'AMBULANT' & 'FRAUENFELD' transits and 'NUTTWEILEN' arrival b/s, minor blemishes long Eastern Extension Australasia & China Telegraph Co cover with cachet of the Flinders terminus on the flap to the London Head Office "By Long Sea Route" with scarce franking of Reading 1d x5 & Naish 1/- pair tied by BN '428' with superb 'FLINDERS' cds alongside, part-flap missing & some wrinkling to London endorsed "RMS Carthage/late fee pd" with 2½d red/yellow and 6d blue tied Melbourne 'FE3/91' duplex cancels paying pre-upu 2½d United Kingdom treaty rate plus 6d Late Fee, 'CLAPTON SO/MR9/91' arrival b/s, couple of minor blemishes. $800 Lot C A- Lot cover to Germany endorsed "per SS Lusitania/via Naples" with 1d brown x3 tied Melbourne 'FE10/91' duplex cancels under-paying pre-upu 6d foreign rate, taxed with Melbourne 'T ("3d")' oval cachet for single deficiency only, Bavarian 'K.B.

In January 1891 the Victorian Postmaster-General announced a reduction in the ship-letter rate to Europe from 6d to 2½d per ½oz in anticipation of the Colony joining the UPU. However, Victoria's entry into the UPU and the concomitant rate reduction was delayed until October. In order to ameliorate the effects of the erroneous announcement, only single deficiency was charged on underpaid items, the 'fine' element of double deficiency being waived.

Independence was proclaimed on but was forcibly resisted by the Spanish authorities. In 1816, after Portugal became concerned about pro-revolutionary ideas migrating to Brazil, troops invaded & occupied Montevideo. Local forces were finally defeated in 1820 & Uruguay was absorbed into Brazil as the Province of Cisplatina. In mid-1825, an uprising & subsequent declaration of secession from Brazil initiated the Cisplatina War which ended in 1828 with the Treaty of Montevideo that resulted in an independent Uruguay being established as a buffer between Argentina & Brazil. The letter refers to Don Juan Benito Blanco stating "...he is at present a prisoner on board of a Brazilian Brig of War in this port being suspected as one connected with the patriots who have risen against the Brazilians in this Province...Considerable reinforcements have...arrived from Rio and we should hope that in a very short time they should succeed in dispersing the patriots...as the present disturbances have caused an almost total stagnation of trade..."

From 1641-on, only Chinese & Dutch ships were allowed into Nagasaki, and nowhere else in Japan.
