Australia George V 1913-36 Kangaroo & Portrait Definitive 39-Stamp Collection Fine Used
Highly sought after, yet surprisingly affordable, the 1913-36 George V Definitive Stamp Collection is arguably the most critical element of Australian philatelics. The foundation stone of Australia's national heritage, and the heart of every serious collection, this historic set is now A$120 off regular market price!
Delayed by debate and red tape, Australia's first stamp issue did not take place until 12 years after unity had been achieved at Federation in 1901! This procrastination ended in 1913, with the release of the young nation's first non-commemorative Definitive stamp. Bearing a kangaroo, Australia's first variety was soon joined by the George V Portrait type following its creation by the conservative Government in 1914.
From 1913 to 1936, these two designs were issued in a variety of colours and denominations - 39 in all. This complete 39-stamp collection includes a Fine Used example of each Definitive type from the 1/2d to the 5/- from 1913 until 1936. Housed in an attractive album, set in a separate slipcase and protective dustcover, the 14 Kangaroo and 23 George V types are all included. The Engraved 1914 1d and 6d (value A$120) are yours with our compliments!
An outstanding collector opportunity, the 1913-36 George V Definitive Stamp Collection is fantastic value-for-money at A$120 off market price.
