Australia - Significant accumulation of 20th century material crammed into a 32-page Uni-Safe stockbook. The early issues are mostly used, with ‘Roos to 2/-, and a smattering of King George V "Heads". Noted the "Robes" to £1 and the "Arms" to £2. The modern issues include denominations to $10. Some of the longer se-tenant strips are from first day covers.

The mint material is strong in 1960's-1970's, and then skips back and forth between used and mint material. Includes a few souvenir sheets, and even a couple of Cinderellas. Organized in segments. Some cancel potential and there could be gems hiding in plain sight. Estimate =
