Australia - Small filing card box with a fascinating mixture of 20th century issues, haphazardly sorted into glassine envelopes and then put in the box in a seemingly random order. There is some obvious value and other potential value throughout. The obvious is modern face value, including 1990’s complete booklets - about A$85.00 in face value. There are also a number of glassines with mint issues 1980-1995 - conservatively estimating A$100.00 face value. There is some earlier material, like mint Explorers to 75c and revalued 5c on 4c QEII booklet panes which could help round out your collection. If you are looking for potential, there is a small handful of King George V "Heads" envelopes holding wholesale used quantities perfect for hunting down cancels or printing flaws. We noted a bit of similar material from the Aussie States too, plus there are glassines with mint and used covering everything in between. It will require your patience to pull this all apart to make sense of it. Estimate =

Barbados - Postmark / Postal History based collection. An interesting array of postmarks, postal history and literature as compiled by a studious collector. Includes over 100 cancels on stamps (including many numeral cancels on the earlier issues), a half-dozen covers or postcards, a study group of the "One Cent" overprinted issues and a 1984 "Postal Censorship in Barbados…" handbook. While the condition is a bit mixed on the earlier material (selected primarily for postmarks), the group overall is very high-quality. It would take many years to assemble something of this nature.

Bermuda - King George VI "Keyplates" from the 2/- to £1 denomination, awaiting the specialists eye. The stamps in the top row are perf 13, the balance are perf 14, including the two still on-piece. Both 2/6 values have paper adhesion that should easily soak off. The three high values are fresh, well centered and have the lightest of light Hinging. These stamps were selected for their different shades, but we are counting them as the cheapest by Scott, so plenty of upside here (especially if using a Gibbons catalogue).

British Commonwealth - British Pacific and Antarctic Colonies collections in pair of Stanley Gibbons springback albums (one a green "Senator" the other a red "Utile" - retail over $150.00 for the empty albums alone). Includes Australian (Australian Antarctic Territories, Cocos (Keeling), Nauru, Christmas Islands) and New Zealand (Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, Ross Dependency, Penrhyn Islands, Samoa) administered colonies. Most are mint, many of the sets are complete, all housed in black mounts on quadrilled pages (expect the mint to be Hinged, but post 1975 most appears to be Never Hinged). The earlier tend to be a little sparse, but there is good value amongst what is there.
