Australian Antarctic Territory Stamps

Hello all,
I have been posting some A.A.T. covers in another part of the forum and had some stamps to show that weren't on cover. Hope there are some new ones for you to see here.





Jim

Very nice, but you're missing the 5c.
I did notice that you had it on a cover though.
I don't have any of the horizontal ones.

Steve

Hi Steve, just getting ready for my Morning walking and didn't want to disappoint you! I keep forgetting what is in this album :)







Cheers

Jim

This says it all!



Steve

Haaa, Thanks for the compliment! Actually, this first section was mostly complete when I purchased the album at a show in 1998. I looked at the wide range and really wanted it. Never mind that I didn't have a single issue prior to this, somehow it struck my sense of quality, rarity, and oddity ( factors hard for me to ignore). I looked at it about 3 or 4 times walking around the show and on impulse, hopefully guided by Karma, I offered 15% less and the dealer, who wasn't impressed with it, sold. All the way home and for a month afterwards, I wondered if I had done the right thing. After going through it, I was happy.

Sorry, I know these are British Antartic I just picked up blocks of them in Ottawa and broke them into sets

I have ONE It is 45c with a weird design.

Jim, of those pre-decimals you have, my dad has the 8d and 2 shillings ones. Used

Mine

With my latest acquisition, I now have a nearly complete set upto 1995. Just missing SG#14,16,17 & 18. All in mint except 2.

Steve

dang, thats a lot of Aus Antarctic Territory!

I think collecting the various country Arctic and Antarctic issues would make an excellent mini-collection and could be a great source of material for an exhibition with the proper history and personal stories of the men and women who have wintered over.

Those are some very nice Stamps everyone. The only one I have is the 1957-59 Australia $.08 one. Thanks for showing them all.

Cim, that one you have is still a great one, that series is my favourite, I think I might put those ones on my trade list.

It's funny Eddy. The one I have is on an advertisement postcard for Sodium Pentathol and is post marked from Antartica. I will find it and scan it to show ya.

lol! ok thanks

Here ya go Eddy. This is the Advertisement Post Card I mentioned earlier.
