A 5/- Kangaroo, perforated OS, which is listed in the Scott Classic Specialised Catalogue as #OB100. I would appreciate it if someone could look it up and advise the year of issue for me so I can cross-reference it to SG. A screen grab would be even better.

Thanks in advance

re: Look Up Request - Australia #OB100

Sc OB100 is listed as 1928-1930, small OS, watermark 203, Small Crown and A multiple.

That best corresponds to SG O118, 1929-1930, Type O2 punctures, watermark 7.

SG says it should be perf 12. Scott is not specific; however, when you look up the underlying stamp, Sc #100, Scott lists perf 12 as an option, and also lists 1929-1930.

If your stamp is Narrow Crown Narrow A, watermark 10 in Scott, then we're back to the drawing board.

Thank you Collin, that's perfect. I picked this up for $15 yesterday. If it arrives as described, I've had a great win, as it is CTO, which catalogues at $225!
