DESCRIPTION

It gives us immense pleasure to present to you the third and final auction of Stuart Hardy’s fabulous Commonwealth of Australia Collection. This Auction has a much broader range of lots than the previous two, it encompasses the remainder of the Australian Commonwealth issues from KGVI to the early 1980s decimal issues. As well there are strong sections of Postage Dues and Booklets. There are also a few Roos and KGV?issues, which for various reasons, didn’t make it into the first two auctions. Stuart collected these issues with great enthusiasm and as you go through the catalogue you will notice imprints, monograms, plate numbers, plate flaws, imperfs and missing colours. You will also see many large mint blocks. The auction finishes with Stuart’s non-Australian Commonwealth collections, including his important collection of Japanese occupation issues from Ambon.
