It does pay to check bulk stock! This faint postmark is the short date line for Darlimurla, Victoria, and is rated RRRR, meaning that only 4-12 examples have been recorded.  |

The Premier Postal database has it at 4R, so there may be a little discrepancy. |

Indeed, there were 3 hammers issued, as far as I can tell, The latest lasted to 1968 that may be the lower scarcity albeit, Webster Wood was printed 1992 I havn't yet been able to read the catalogue with any confidence, I need to scrutinise the legends. |

The one I've shown is the last issue, with the short date line, and is the scarcest. I haven't got Webster Wood, so I may have to hunt that down |

Watson, Webster Wood, possibly the bible of Vic Pmks. From memory around $80 for the 2 volumes? I picked mine up for $35 local auction. Caveat : The 2 volumes only go to the letter "G" before the study was ended on the passing of one of the colleagues? For A-G the information is frankly mind boggling in its complexity.  |

Thanks for that Rod. It must have been Webster that passed, as Watson and Wood are still going strong |

That is an absolute bargain. I would expect to pay $20-$30 post from North America, for those volumes. I would check that price quoted is correct. 2014 Estimate $120  |

But the arm will probably mean your parcel gets held up by Aussie customs ...  |
