10/3/2009 - Auction 90 Delayed
Over the past few weeks PPA has undergone significant disruption as a result of the recent fires in the Yarra Ranges area. We have decided to postpone Auction 90 which will now be held on the 19th of April.

Here at PPA we all appreciate your support during these difficult times & we look forward to having a fantastic auction ready for you in April.

24/2/2009 - Fires Causing Disruption
The fires at Upwey caused us to evacuate yesterday afternoon and our stock is still offsite. However for the time being we are functioning again although in a limited capacity. Hopefully after next weekend everything will be a bit more stable.
The important thing is that everyone and all the stock is safe.

1/11/2008 - New Symbol for Covers
All cover lots will now be identified with the * symbol in the Type column. This will be followed by our normal type symbols for mint & used.

Welcome to Auction 114. With over 4,200 lots we have another large auction with a wide range of material for you to browse through. We wish you all a prosperous and happy New Year

We always have a few books available for sale, see our full list on our website www.premierpostal.com, select Books for Sale from the left menus. A couple of newer books you might not be aware of are Bernie Manning's ‘Queensland Numerals' and ‘Queensland Colonial Town Datestamps'. Both cost $150 and are comprehensively illustrated, with all cancels having rarity ratings. While discussing books, Victorian datestamps collectors should be aware that, for a $55 per year subscription, they can access the entire Watson Webster & Wood database with all the datestamps that have currently recorded. This includes everything from A-Z. The database is continuously updated with new information and represents excellent value for money. To subscribe select Post Office Reference from the Reference Tools submenu. Then choose Australian Post Offices - Victoria and click on the subscribe link on the welcome line.

Our auction starts with cinderellas, coins and literature. Our ever-popular Picture Postcard section follows. Remember that postcards are often placed in other parts of the catalogue so it is worth looking throughout the catalogue. If you have access to the internet please go to our website, www.premierpostal.com, and simply select Auction 114 - by Topic and then, from the extensive list of topics (about 250 different), choose Picture Postcards to see all the postcard lots in the auction; and all of them are illustrated.

Australian stamps follow, with many Roos and Georgian Heads all the way through to modern decimals, including varieties, postal history, postal stationery etc. Within the KGV section are; 4d orange-yellow line through FOUR PENCE (#252), 4d violet cracked electro (#256), ½d green Large Mult pair with thin fraction (#272). 40c (#424) & $1 Navigator varieties (#426). Plate varieties abound throughout the Australian section of the catalogue, but particularly in the Georgian Head & Decimals sections. The Decimal section contains a number of large blocks with various Specimen handstamps used at the Post Office Training School, and there is a useful selection of overprinted decimal booklets. Amongst the Commemorative covers is a registered Govt Garden Fete (#651) and a number of Sydney Harbour Bridge covers (#1245-8). In the Postal History section there is a nice NSW registered cover uprated with a 1d Roo (#751).

As usual the Australian Colonies/States section has a very good range of both stamps and postmarks, including a wide selection of numerals and there are 100s of datestamps from all states. This section also has a broad range of registered covers, particularly from NSW but also the other states. As you would expect there are very large selections of postmarks from Queensland and Victoria. Once again postmark collectors will have a field day.

Some of the more interesting lots in the States section are NSW 3d Sydney Views (#875-6), ‘1' (#951), ‘1637' (#988), 1937 Leycester reg cvr (#1094), 1971 Stannifer reg cvr (#1194), 1906 Steve King's Plains cvr (#1196), 1882 Swallows Nest transit (#1228) 1913 Warre Warrel (#1254), QLD, £1 Chalon pair mint (#1299), 1885 Miriam Vale cvr (#1526) 1946 Mount Edwards (#1586), 1904 Mount Usher reg cvr ( #1630), 1969 Rosella reg cvr (#1699), TAS 1863 1d brick-red mint (#1830), VIC 3d blue Half-Length roulette 5½ (#1986), 1905 5/- Perf 11 mint (#2025), ‘274' (#2102) ‘M31' (#2121) ‘1419' (#2131), ‘1842' (#2141), ‘2014' (#2148), 1902 Amherst mss (#2206), 1930s Bushy Parkt (#2534), 1937 Trafalgar West (#2935), 1936 Tudor (#2973), 1929 Turriff East (#3002), 1926 Turton's Creek (#3004), 1929 Tylden Ry Stn (#3017), WA 1902 Post & Telegraph Broad Arrow on Telegram (#3077).

With over 1100 lots in the rest-of-the-world section there is still plenty for the non-Australian collector, including, Falklands 1978 4d (#3303), 1981 Horse inverted sideways wmk (#3332), German East Africa 1907 official cvr from Tanga (#3450), GB 6d pale lilac on 1859 cvr to Victoria (#3528), Greece 1862 40l (#3550), Niue 1941 5/- Postal Fiscal MUH (#3878), Papua 2/6d rose-carmine (#3923), Solomons 1940 Postage Dues Specimen set (#4102).

We always have a broad range of military and censored covers and this auction is no exception. While there is an obvious strength in Australian & British WWI & WWII material you will find much outside of these areas.

To help with your specific collecting interests and to find the lots that interest you, we provide an extract service. This service saves you time and helps to keep our costs down. Simply provide us with your collecting interests. You can specify whether you just collect stamps, postal history or postal stationery, whether you collect mint or used, what periods you collect, what countries you collect etc. You can be quite detailed. In nearly all cases we can provide an extract which is well matched to your collecting needs.
