New Guinea 1939 the MEGA scarce 10/- Bulolo Airmail Fine Used - The 10/- value is TEN times scarcer than the £1 of this set, in my long experience, and the SG values clearly reflects this of course. SG 224, £425=$A850. From a heavy gold bullion shipment. Crisp cds of ‘WAU - 6 AP:39 - New Guinea' - very early use, as issue date was March 1939, and this may well be the earliest recorded postal Used example. One of the most iconic Airmail stamps from the entire Pacific Region in the 1930s. Incredibly high value - this was probably a week's gross wages for anyone who had a job, in The Great Depression. Attractive cds used, with deep rich original colour. Free of all hinges and aging etc after 84 years. These were lumpy single line perf, on essentially coarse blotting paper! I handle just one of these each 5 or 10 years or so. Clean and flat, and wonderfully well centred, free of all usual hinges and gook and gunk, with lovely deep color as you can see
