Australasian Philatelic Traders’ Association Your October 2014 e-Newsletter APTA - Serving Philately since 1948 A P TA P r es i de n t ’ s R e p o r t Dear Collector, Welcome to the October 2014 e-Newsletter. The following two months offer a number of exciting events for three states. As promoted in the last few months, South Australia will open the philatelic festivities with the Adelaide STAMPEX 2014 will be held at the Drill Hall, Torrens Parade Grounds, King William Rd on the 10th, 11th and 12th of October. There will be a number of local stamp dealers attending this event, including APTA dealers, such as Ace Stamp Auctions, Edlins/Capital Collectables, Euro-Yu Oz, John & Jan Fitzpatrick (NZ), Leo Jakimow, Phoenix Auctions, Pittwater Philatelic Service, Premier Postal Auctions, Richard Juzwin and Tony Shields Stamps & Coins. Moving into Victoria, VICPEX 2014 will be held at the Geelong West Town Hall, Pakingham St on the 11th of October. A number of local dealers will attend the show, including APTA’s Cover Connection and Watermans Coins & Banknotes. Both shows will offer you a free admission and it’s the best opportunity to bring along your philatelic Show venues for the remaining year (clockwise from top friends or family left): Adelaide STAMPEX 2014, VICPEX 2014, ANDA/ members and celebrate stamp APTA Sydney Show and APTA/ANDA Melbourne Show collecting. For the serious and novice philatelists, the exhibits at these two shows will educate and offer useful hints about exhibiting a stamp collection; certainly a warm-up to the Sydney Stamp Exhibition 2015 ANZAC Centenary in next April. Moving along into October, the ANDA / APTA Coin, Banknote and Stamp Show will be held in Sydney, at the Lower Town Hall on the 24th and 25th of the month.

Later in November, we have the APTA / ANDA Melbourne Stamp, Coin & Banknote Show at the traditional and popular Malvern Town Hall . The dates for this show are Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th of November. The opening hours are from 10am to 5pm for both days and admission is $5 for adults for a single day, or $8 for both days.

Our APTA members will be able to assist you with any philatelic or collectable needs you may have.

You can reach Rod via his postal address, which is PO Box 122, Port Douglas, QLD, 4877, Australia. Rodney’s email is [email protected] and he can be contacted on a new number (07) 4098 0098. Rodney A Perry (rap) has been a Philatelic trader since 1962. Rod established Rodney A Perry Auction Galleries in 1971 and sold 30 years later. The Auction House was rebranded as Millennium Philatelic Auctions. For ten years from 1992, Rod was proprietor of Brusden-White Publishing, publisher of The Australian Commonwealth Specialists' Catalogue, established in 1926. During that decade of ownership, with the inimitable Geoff Kellow as Editor (which remains the situation), an ambitious programme to completely rewrite the catalogue was undertaken. By the time the rights to the catalogue were sold (to the consortium which bought the Auction House), the rewrite, embracing Australian Commonwealth stamp issues or their development from 1901 to 2001, was completed. The catalogue was awarded a Gold Medal at the International Exhibition ITALIA 98. Club International, achieved for his Grand Prix Victoria at AUSIPEX 84. Rod controls an enormous accumulation of Australian and World covers and Stationery, gathered during five decades of philatelic trading. The strength of this stock reposes largely in 20th century material, with a preponderance for items destined for Australasia, in the case of material originating abroad. Your enquiries are most welcome. Rod has been a collector since 1955 and presently is developing a series of cover / stationery collections which have as their common theme Australasia as a destination. Rod Perry’s Postal History is proud member of ASDA, APS (#074745), PTS and APTA. Rod is the only Australian member of The Grand Prix Postal address: PO Box 122, Port Douglas, QLD, 4877, Australia.

A collection as comprehensive as this is one, is one of the rare occasions that the collector is offered essentially everything that is available to be offered in the one auction. No more searching for years to find those elusive items. Roland is aware that having so much on offer may stretch a few budgets and he has authorised us to consider any requests for a payment plan. If you feel this will be helpful, contact us and David or Ken will discuss the possibilities with you. Please however do this prior to the auction and not afterwards. While only 4 face-different stamps are involved, this collection covers the fascinating transition period from imperforate to perforated stamps with all the experimental separations that were used before finally settling down to standard perforators. The number of different perforators is quite surprising with the 6d orange having nine different types offered here, far more than are catalogued. In the past many of these were considered un-official or private, however most specialist now consider that nearly all of them were officially sanctioned. While on the topic of inadequate stamp catalogues, it is worth pointing out that the 1/- Registered in fact has two Dies which are easily identifiable and just as significant as the Kangaroo dies or the various Key Plate dies used by many British Commonwealth countries. The inclusions the two dies in the catalogues is well overdue. The breadth of material being offered is quite amazing. There are a www.apta.com.au number of Proofs and Essays, many Specimen overprints, mint and used stamps, many with the largest known multiples in private hands. Naturally there is a great range of covers, virtually all in wonderful condition. There are examples to may destinations, including China and The Philippines. Many different postal rates and routes are presented here. The number of Too Late and Registered covers is staggering. This collection has more than all the other private collections combined. The overall quality of the items this collection represents the best that is available and this becomes truly apparent when looking at the stamps in the many plating studies where almost every stamp is first-grade or close to it. We would like to thank Roland for allowing us to offer his collection and we are sure that all collectors of this area will find items for their collection. Auction #34 - KGV Heads Sat 25th October 2014, 1pm This is a specialised auction of the Australian King George V Sideface issues. The Georgian Heads are one of the most popular series of stamps for specialist Australian collectors. This series has many printing plates and flaws, including some spectacular cracked electros and retouches, a wide variety of watermark errors, imprints and monograms, paper and shade varieties and combination errors. The last section of the sale contains a wonderful array of Geogian Heads, mainly 1d Reds, on WWI related postal history. The Georgian Heads are Australia’s most studied stamps and we will have much of the current literature in this area available for sale, on the day. The new Brusden White King George V catalogue has now been printed and we now have copies available for sale. A list of the available books is at the end of this page. This auction has a number of vendors who we would like to thank, however the 1½d Die I collection from Pericles deserves special mention. The breadth of material in this collection is amazing for both its rarities and for the research that has been done. The sheer breadth of cracked electros being offered could justifiably have enabled us to subtitle this as the Cracked Electro Auction. For collectors of this stamp, and it’s postal history, this is a wonderful opportunity to add to your collection. Viewing for this Auction.

Nonetheless, if you collect Australia, Australian Colonies, our Territories or foreign countries, then you can expect to find something of interest in the General Auction. This month marks the centenary of the issue of Australia’s iconic King George V Heads. To celebrate this important anniversary, we present a lovely array of quality KGV material with numerous large blocks and even complete panes and sheets of Penny Reds. As usual, we have a wonderfully strong section from the Australian Colonies. Features are Classic New South Wales, Victorian Laureates and Revenues, and a terrific section of the Large Stamp Duty issues highlighted by an unused set of the extraordinary Ultra High Values (possibly the only complete set in existence). A long-time client in Japan has contributed collections of New Guinea and Papua postal history that he put together mainly in the 1970s and 1980s. There are many fine items that haven’t seen the light of day for decades. For something completely different, we are pleased to offer the very fine collection of Saudi Arabia formed by the late Dr Kevin Murphy from Perth. There are lots of decidedly rare stamps here but because Saudi Arabia isn’t British Guiana, the estimates are very attractive. BRITISH EMPIRE #194: kicking off at 3.30pm This auction came about largely as the result of local collector Jim Mathieson consigning his very extensive collection to us for sale. Probably two-thirds of the lots are from this source. Featured sections are the South Atlantic Islands and the British West Indies. We also have a strong Great Britain section that includes a remarkable array of plating studies of issues of Queen Victoria’s reign, and our recent discovery of an 1840 House of Lords 1d Envelope. Malaya features Straits Settlements postal history and Chalons are a strength of the almost 100 lots of New Zealand on offer. Please note that there is some Empire content in the miscellaneous lots at the beginning of the general auction. Pictorials. However, the best developed field is the Overprints on Great Britain, featuring many items formerly in Keith Buckingham’s collection. There are Albino Overprints in abundance, the famous �NAUP.U’ varieties on most values, a good offering of control blocks, and a very attractive group of Seahorses. The postal history includes a number of very rare instructional and censor markings, a registered All Up airmail cover, two Japanese Occupation items, a cover from the reoccupying Australian Forces, and a large parcel piece with a pair of the 5/- Map. If you have never attended one of our sales, you won’t know what a different experience it is. All our visitors, whether from suburban Melbourne, country, interstate or overseas, are made to feel right at home. And if you are bored stiff by auctions moving at snail’s pace because of “live” internet bidding, you will be delighted to know that we have retained the traditional auction room excitement that we all grew up with. Which is why our auction room is usually packed, and why so many people listen to the audio feed over the internet. It’s also why so many people are enthusiastic about coming to Boronia on a regular basis. Please note that if you wish to participate in any of the three auctions by phone, you should make your arrangements as soon as possible.
