PAPUA 1932 £1 Top Value Definitive ‘Delta House’ VFU - I see one of these only each few years - a VERY under-rated high value - only a few 1,000 were ever sold. New Guinea issued MANY high values for highland Gold Shipments back to the Australian refiners, but NOT Papua - what on earth from there, needed a £1 franking back then??? The current SG price is under HALF what it really should be. (The New Guinea 1925 and 1930 £1 values are £300 each used for example.) Issued at the height of The Great Depression, and this was a fortnight's wages for those Westerners up there who DID have a job. Near 100 years old now. Clean and fresh Fine Used, taken from old collection today.
