This strip of 8 unwatermarked stamps was issued on September 15, 1949. Very scarce it shows 3 stamps on the left being affected by ink stripping, starting from the third stamp and progressing to the first stamp, both the second and first stamp being the worst affected. The kangaroo, the text and value on the first stamp disappearing.

re: Severe progressive ink stripping on 1949 ½d Kangaroo

Hi Horamakhet

It's quite an interesting variety, there are other stamps I will be posting in the very near future, such as a perfectly centred 5/- Harbour Bridge with excellent perforations, MUH of course to get this stamp in that condition is very seldom seen, I waited 7 years for this one.

There is also a 1942 3½d with offset, the offset is so intense it literally looks like a perfect clone in reverse. There is also a postally used 10/- Coronation specimen, I have no idea how this was posted.

There is also a $1.00 Flinders with a strong offset. Also a G NSW perfin on a McCracken imprint corner block of 4 with a very early state of plate crack, this is rare. A 1938 Die 2 Coil perf vertical pair with small to large holes in superb condition and centring, Richard stated that this stamp is the finest example they have seen in years and rare.

This is just a few I've added to my collection, After they are added to my inventory I will post them.

Rob
