It's Cinderella time.
Part of Australia's 150th Birthday. The Bridge was only 6 years old. Some things to note. You won't see "the stack of dishes" under the Bridge at Bennelong Point, Jorn Utzon designer of the Opera House was only just 20 then. The Lifesaving Issue (probably Bondi but I am not Au fait with the costume livery) The first recorded act of "lifesaving" was to a "Charlie Smith" later to become Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith If you dont think Cinderellas have any place in Philately, take a close look at the flower set. They appeared on postage stamps just 20 years later almost verbatim, eg Christmas Bells, Flannel flower, Banksia and Waratah. http://cjoint.com/data/duh2aWUWyX.htm Aussies Enjoy. |

Nah, Rod I don't do cinderellas, however I mightt consider a few pence for the set, but only if the cinderella collector in my club wants them. I do have a block of Aborigine Post stamps for him.

Daniel C. Boyer You are welcome. Here is another from a set I do not own An RCSD member posted some years ago. St Andrews Cathedral http://cjoint.com/data/dzaMh0LY7Q.htm If you ever need ID, I have Bill Hornadge's "Cinderellas of Australia" book. Rod |

Ralphael, the OLD one Hah! You would need to begin above US$70 to even begin to negotiate Ralph. It is understood these items were not produced for prepayment of postage, but they run hand in hand with the mood of the time, and capture the essence of design and feel of a young country celebrating a milestone. (They were also produced by the Government Printer) This may explain why the Smithsonian institute in the US paid US$73,000 for a dilapidated, thumbed and abused stamp album, with, in the main, worthless stamps in 2005. The main reason it was owned by one John Lennon, but also that it is a fitting icon, for just about every kid in the world, and how just about every, "stamp collector" begins his journey. The aboriginal stamps are one of envy http://cjoint.com/data/dzaT7OzhTo.htm I have yet to handle these, and would have been delighted to secure them from you! Drat! |

Wunnerful, wunnerful, wunnerful --- got the funds to buy 'junk', but not to properly display much of the major US collection(s) they own! I wouldn't know about that, but perhaps in years to come, the price may be a pittance in respect to the power of the article to inpire, who's stamp album didn't start like this? BTW a correction is called for, the price was c$AUD$73,000 (not US) see John Lennons New Zealand page of the Album http://www.glenstephens.com/snmarch07.html some way down the page. |

The aboriginal stamps are one of envy http://cjoint.com/data/dzaT7OzhTo..htm That is the stamp I speak of, the Penny Black. However, mine are a block of four with the Aborigne Post cancellation in the middle. Just like a CTO. I have yet to handle these, and would have been delighted to secure them from you! Drat! I haven't really promised them to the collector of cinderellas, I just asked him if he had them in his collection. Speak now or forever hold your peace... Ralphael, the OLD one |

asked him if he had them in his collection. Speak now or forever hold your peace... Ralphael, the OLD one. Thanks Ralphael, thank you very much for the offer but I really am second in line, so please hand 'em on to the other collector. I just wouldn't feel right, and anyhow things have a way of turning up, when you least expect it Cheers Rod. |

I just asked him if he had the Penny Black. He is somewhat a serious cindrella collector as well as many other odds and ends. I am making the offer to you. If you would like the blacks just say so and they will be on the way to Como Beach, post haste. Ralph |

USPS has the Aborigine cinderellas, posted March 28. Let me know how long the snail mail takes. to add a little more eagerness to your anticipation for the block of four: each stamp has a different face value. Look that up in your cinderella catalog. PLEASE do not send me anything unless I ask for it. I have accumulated so much stuff I could open my own stamp shop....except what I have is not worth the trouble of doing so. Ralphael, the OLD one |
