Lot 426
Australia, 1925 (June 12) receipt for £13.10.0 for landing charges and taxes on 120 parcels, bearing 1903 compond perf. 5/- dull green (S.G. D33) interpanneau block of thirty containing seven gutter pairs and block of twenty-four cancelled by "Parcel Post Townsville/Queensland" c.d.s., inevitably there are some faults to be expected on a piece of this magnitude but these are primarily the lower non-interpane pair of the former creased and one stamp at foot of the latter block defective, a spectacular item, the largest recorded multiple of the high values of this design and the only reported gutter pairs of the 5 shillings.
Estimate 4,000 - 5,000
