..
90.
300 Papua;
an extensive and
important group of covers, the largest part of which is from
Madiri,
Daru, to
England.
These covers until recently contained their original
letters, but the
correspondence itself is being kept by the family. We have
however had
sight of
this correspondence, and can confirm that the majority
originated in
Madiri,
Fly River, Daru. We have copies of some sample letterheads
which can be
inspected.
The lot can be divided into four periods or groups as
follows;
{1}
1906-1911. The first group of fifty covers all bear
Queensland Queen
Victoria
adhesives (mainly 2d, or two of 1d, some a single 1d). The
majority of
these
are cancelled with the Thursday Island �336� numeral, or the
Thursday
Island
c.d.s., and most are to England. Included are two of 1908 to
South
Africa each
with a large handstruck �1D�, another of
1908 with
Sydney
c.d.s. cancel and �PAQUEBOT� to side. Three
(1909 and 1911) are from T.I. to Daru with Daru backstamps.
We are
confident
that nearly all of these came from Daru or Badu.
{2} 1911-1941 Bundle of 123 covers franked with Papuan
adhesives �
largest
number in 1910s, slightly fewer in 1920s and 1930s, only
three in
1940-41.
Nearly everything is cancelled by the Daru c.d.s., almost
all are
addressed to
England, and most have transit marks (Thursday Island,
Australian, Hong
Kong,
etc.). Included are nine covers with WW1 censor marks (5
violet
straight-line,
1 red Brisbane circular, 3 double circle �PASSED BY CENSOR/THURSDAY ISLAND� dated August and
September 1918, January 1919), four with the Daru c.d.s. in
violet (and
a few
in blue or blue-black), 1930 with 2 x Lakatoi 1�d cancelled
Brisbane with �LOOSE/SHIP/LETTER�
to side,
and four
WW2 censors. In later years several have postmarks other
than Daru.
{3} 1914-1917 seven covers with Australian adhesives
cancelled at
Thursday
Island (and one redirected to Papua via T.I.). Of these,
four are
censored (two
with only a manuscript endorsement, one with straight-line
mark, one
with
manuscript resealed using newspaper).
{4} 1928 (1) and 1933-1939 (15) Australian adhesives on
cover with
Thursday
Island c.d.s. cancels.
Also included in the lot are a few further Australian
covers, but which
do not
appear to have Papua or Thursday Island connections.
Condition is mixed, very much as would be expected for
letters which
have been
transported around the world, then eagerly opened (without a
view to
future
collectability), then stored in bundles with letters
enclosed. Some
therefore
are very fine, most are quite decent though showing a bit of
wear, and
some
have faults such as flaps missing, or very rough opening, or
even parts
missing. The majority however are in perfectly acceptable
condition.
Further information can be had on our website where there is
an Excel
spreadsheet (giving
details of dates and postmarks etc.) of all the covers in
goup {1}
- follow
this link.
Illustrations
of
some covers at this link (large file size.)
Our estimate can be little more than a stab in the dark.
This is very
much a
lot where the price will be decided by the bidders at
auction. �

0845 0500 886 Use
this
number to make bids or to check on
prices after the auction � or any time you want to speak to us �
from
anywhere
in the UK for the cost of a local rate phone call.
�uro Currency; We are happy to accept
Euro cash payments in our shop. We display our rate beside the
counter.
We
normally allow the market rate rounded down to the next whole
penny.
For
example, at the time of writing, the market rate is 0.907, so we
are
allowing
90p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give
you).
You can
also pay for auction lots in Euro banknotes (postal customers
please
confirm
before sending). We also accept payments in our shop in Euros,
and we
buy the
old �legacy� currencies, as well as other coins and notes.
Most
auctions include a few lots which, due to their large size or
weight
compared
to value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must
therefore
be viewed
at our shop during the previous week, and successful
purchasers will be
responsible for their collection from us. The symbol for these
is � ��, and very generally
speaking,
there's a cut-off
point of about �2 or �3 estimate per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can
either
call at the
shop during normal opening hours, or it is sometimes possible
to
arrange to
pick up after the auction has finished (though please first
speak to
Mr. Murray
to arrange this).
NORMAL BIDDING
STEPS
We
list here our normal bid steps for your information. This may
be of
help to bidders
who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit
our
normal
pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as
much as
possible,
but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to �20, bids are in �1 steps.
From �20 to �30, bids are in �2 steps.
>From �30 to �50, bids are in �2 or �3 steps
(i.e. �30, �32, �35, �38, �40, �42,
�45, �48, �50).
>From �50 to �100 in �5 steps.
From �100 to �200,
bids are in �10 steps.
>From �200 to �300, bids are in �20 steps.
>From �300 to �500, bids are in �20 or �30,
and
above this in 5% to 10% steps.

Bids by post. Please use the Bid Form
supplied,
and send first
class.
Telephone bids will be accepted at any
time

CREDIT
CARDS
We are happy to
accept MasterCard and Visa credit card
payments, as well as payments by Maestro and Delta. This
facility can
be used
by room purchasers (who pay their accounts at the auction), by
other
local
customers (who pay their bill in our shop), and by postal
buyers.
In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been
designed
to make
space for credit card instructions.
If you want your purchases charged in this way, please
complete the
appropriate
section.
Do not complete
these
details unless you want to
pay by credit card, and to have the
lots posted.
We have negotiated good rates with our bank, and are able to
absorb the
bank
charges for this service ourselves, and therefore there is no
additional charge
for the use of this facility, as long as postal bidders give
us their
details in
advance of posting. Only for postal buyers where card
details are
given after
posting, we will charge 1.9% extra
(Visa/MasterCard) or 18p (Maestro
and Delta), plus cost of posting receipt slip.
VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our
shop during the one week prior to the auction. It is
sometimes
possible
to view auction lots outside the normal times, but this must be by
special
arrangement.
