We knew the Geoff Leech collection of used New Zealand would attract attention, but we were nevertheless impressed with the number of quality bids and fervent interest that came from the collection’s country of origin. Live bidders got up early (“from tomorrow”) to follow the auction and bid. This lot went for well over our estimate.

Now listed in S.G. (# 356w) and in Campbell Paterson as G10aW but unpriced in either. With further write-up on album page. This lot is an opportunity to obtain a very rare stamp indeed. Without Fault. Est$ 1,000, SOLD for $1,300.00 plus premium.
