The Caspary Oceania by R.

J. W.

Purves , F. R. P . S . L.

of Melbourne

, Australia

It is nice to be given the chance of making a little re turn for some much appreciated hospitality . It is sad, in the present case , that only death should have provided that opportunity. Some twelve years have now gone by since the writer introduction to Mr. Caspary at The Collectors Club, New him to dine and afterwards to look at some of his stamps. followed. They were enchanted eve ning s, and they will

as the result of a chance York - was invited by Two more such evenings not easily be forgotten.

To be permitted entrance to such an Aladdin 's Cave of Philately was, of course, a great privilege but to get the owner talking about his enthusiasms (lawyers can, sometimes, get other people to talk) was an even greater pleasure . Mr . Caspary's qualities have already been commen t ed upon by other writers. For myself I can never forget his willingness, once he was satisfied that you were a dedicated enthusiast ( as he was), to impart to you something of the warmth that the hobby pos sesse d for him . Naturally it was expected that I should drink my fill of his Australians, and I did , but of course a great deal more followed. It was , as you know, all wonderful. Mr . Bernard Harmer , by mo st graciously making available to me photographs of all the Australasian material , has enabled me to refresh my memory of tho se evenings and so to pay more adequate tribute to these stamps from my native country. Mr . Caspary, of course, did not pursue Australian and New Zealand Classics with quite the same avidity as, for example, he pursued the Provisional Issues of the Confederate States . In his heyday other big collectors one calls to mind such names as Worthington , Manus , Hausburg and Pack were all chasing early Australians an d New Zealands in a big way. Caspary did not, in the open , compete with such specialists , at least to any great extent . But make no mistake, he did chase these stamps and over the years many choice items in this field - of the required quality - joined the gilt-edged ranks of the battalions already assembled. The Classic Issues of the Australian States , you will realise , comprise a queer mixture of primitive Colonial products and thos e well ordered and dignified stamps, in lovel y colours, which emanated from Messrs . Perkins , Bacon & Co . Items in superb condition are mor e difficult to find than in most countries and large multiple s (perhaps the primary love of Caspary) are rare indeed. Difficulty of

acqu1S1t1on was something, of course, that never worried Alfred Ca spary - if he wanted the stamps and the quality was right. Once any class of Classic stamp attracted him he was prepared to go after it. Australasian Classics , irrespective of their type , clearly had a definite appeal for him and the simplest way of proving that statement is to examine this section of his collection . Here we are immediately struck by the fact that while there is th e usual Caspary assemblage of rarity, quality and multiple pieces in each of the six countries of New South Wales, New Zealand , Queensland, South Australia, Ta sma nia and Western Australia respectively there was no such assemblage in the case of Victoria. In that case , however , there was a comprehensive collection, of which more anon. We shall deal with the other countries first:

NEW SOUTH WALES: This assemblage

is, with New Zealand , the most notable . Here the "Sydney Views ", justly famous amongst " local " intaglios , are found in strength. There are 208 copies in all, ld . (70), 2d . (96) and 3d . ( 42) . The Plate I ld. (27) include two mint copies, two pair s on cover ( one with " butterfly " cancellation) , four other pairs , and a block of four . The Plate II 1d . ( 42) include ten pairs and a hori zo ntal strip of five. In the 2d. all the various states of the plate ( the original and the various ret ouchings) are wel1 r eprese nted. There are some love! y copies from "Plate I" . Multiples are, as usual, to the fore. Overall we note three block s of four ( two from "Plate I") , a strip of five, three strips of four ( two from " Plate I"), a strip of three and seven pairs . There are several items with "butterfly " cancellation including a nice pair. There is also a cover addressed to Melbourne with the much discussed " diamond of dots " cance1lation. In the 3d. there is a mint vertical pair with ful[ top margin, a lovely item . There are also two blocks of four , one on ful[ cover and three other lovely covers, all with this stamp. There are some splendid items amongst the "La ureates " ( 180) . These include the famous part sheet {38 out of 50) 3d . (S. G . 67) - originally ex Sir Daniel Cooper and later i1lustrated (as part of the Sheet of 50) in Basset Hu1l's "The Stamps of New South Wales " ; some attractive mint blocks of the ld . and 2d. a very unusual and nice looking block of four of the 8d. and most of the listed "er rors of engraving " found in this type . The ' Diadems' , where the showing ends , are few in number but include three mint copies ( one a lower left corner stamp) of the 5d. imperf and a lovely vertical pair of the 8d g olden ye llow imperf with some nice mint multiples of various values and an unused copy of a major retouch in the 2d.

NEW ZEALAND:

Here is a really fine assemblage of the "Full Face" issues, probably the most popular of all the Australasian Classics. There are over 230 of the Imperforates alone and it will be sufficient if we single out comparatively few items for special mention. There are four examples of the ld. No. 1 and a strip of four; also a mint example and a used pair of the London 1/- (S. G. 3). There is a severed pair of the 1/- rouletted (S. G . 31). In the 1862 " pelures " ther e are some exceptional things , including a strip of five and a pair of the id. and a strip of three of th e 1/ -. The "N. Z. s" are likewise notable including a mint pair and three mint singles of the 1/ - (S . G. 100) and examples of the ld. and 1/ - rouletted . The perforated " Fu11 Faces " are solidly repre sented . Once again, fine multiples abound and there is little doubt that this section will attract, throughout its entire length , the keenest bidding of the Sale .

QUEENSLAND: Here there is a good selection of Chalon heads and blocks but the pieces-de-resistance are to be found, of course , in the which is really impressive, using that word as mildly as one can. Here are of the Id. S . G . I , another pair on cover and yet another pair on a cover

man y nice first issue thr ee pairs addressed

to Germany which is accompanied by a pair of the 6d . (S. G. 3) ! Of the 2d. (S. G. 2) there are two strips of three and a pair.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA:

This country contains many attractive mint and used item is the mint pair of the unissued strips and blocks. Probably the outstanding !/ - violet (S. G. 5) . I should imagine that a pair of this stamp must be of excepby a strip of three and four pairs , tional rarity. The Id. (S. G. 1) is represented all of exceptional quality. Aesthetically the used strip of five deep blue 6d. (S. G. 4) takes an awful lot of beating, as does a mint block of six of the first London-printed 2d .

TASMANIA : Perhaps

the most romantic of the Australian countries and suitabl y by some remarkable items . Here there are eight copies of the first Id., represented mint and used singles , a strip of four and a pair. The Id . "Stars " comprising include a mint pair , a used block of four and used strips of four and three respectively, the 2d. " Stars " a strip of four and a pair, and the 4d. "Stars" blocks of six and nine respectively . There is a strip of three of the Id. no wmk. and a block of eight and a strip of the Id . on pelure paper. All the later imperf. and perf . V . D . L's are well represented .

WESTERN AUSTRALIA: An intriguing field which is, whatever the reasons, not now as popular as it might be . Here we find two copies of the! / - salmon (S . G. 8) , a lovely strip of three 1/ - (S . G. 6), with a pair of the first ld . on a front to London; one of the more prominent " squeezed transfer " varieties in the 4d. (S. G. 2m) in a fine used block of four; a pair of the 6d . Litho (S. G. 18) on cover; some mint examples of the 2d. and 6d . Litho; a mint copy of the 1/ - (S . G. 43), a mint copy of the 4d . doubly printed (S . G . 56a) and finally a mint copy (with left sheet margin) of the 2d. mauve error of colour (S. G. 65). In addition to these there are all the attractive mint blocks of the early issues one had been led to expect (by what had gone before) and an excellent showing, mainly in mint blocks, of all the middle issues as far as S . G . 97. One lonely page of FIJI brings up the rear but even this contains of the "Times Express " stamps. So much

for six bracelets , studded

with prec10us

stones.

Now

nine copies

we come

VICTORIA. Here we find something unique in the Caspary holdings - a real "collection " that word. Not merely an aggregation of a whole country as you and I understand of such valuable and aesthetically desirable items as the late owner had assembled in the particular field but a detailed showing of a whole country, issue by issue, pearls and .... swine . old time collection of Mr . Caspary in fact, purchased , en bloc , an important Victoria , well known in the England of its day. This was the collection formed by a well known collector and a Fellow of Mr . M . H. Horsley of West Hartlepool, the Royal. Mr. Horsley died in 1925 and it must have been shortly after that time that Mr. Caspary acquired this holding . Just WHY he acquired it must remain a matter of conjecture because apparently he never did anything with it. The collection in 1955 was , in fact , in the same condition as Mr . Horsley had left it thirty years before. of Horsley was a keen student. Bearing this in mind , also the difficulty acquiring the early issues in superb condition and the complexities of the stamps themselves , it is only natural that this collection contains much material that would

normally be below Caspary condition standards. It is equally good d ea l that would be desirable by any standard.

true that it contains

those to 18 70 being generally All th e issues from 1850 to 191 2 are represented, "Em" Que en on Throne ", " Woodblock", The "Half Length", well specialised. blems" , " Beaded Oval " and " Laureated " issu es are each here - and we do not exaggerate - here in force. Horsley was, for instance, the first student to accomplish the plating of the 4d. "Beaded Oval " and he also made a start (independently , and unknown to the writer until 1946) - some years before the wri ter himself comon the set ting s of the ld . and 2d. menced their plating, since completed " Laureated " stamps . In the " Half Length" ( of which there are nearly 1500 copies) every printing of each value is well represent ed, there being, for instance, five copies regroups", " Transfer will be found reconstructed of the first id . Throughout combinations " and covers. The 2d . " Queen on Throne " comtouches, "abnormal of 50 in both prise over 600 copies. They include a number of plate reconstructions stamps , one of the five sheets of 50 that are the engraved and the lithographed known of the 1891 reprint from the original steel plate , the 'TYO ' variety in pair and some of the "e rrors of transfer ". Later rarities include a mint 6d. orange (S. G. 103) , some of the scarcer " Emblems " varieties, the 6d. Laureated wmk "4", a strip of three of the 5 /- blue on yellow and the 1/ - blu e on blue 'ST AMP DUTY ' covers in all periods to of 1885 in postally used condition. There are interesting from that 1870, including some of those scarce " combination " items , emanating "via portion of N ew S outh Wales known as "the Riverina ", posted to England Melbourne " and prepaid with both New South Wales and Victorian stamps. The stamps of this country are not everybody ' s meat but as so much of the 'cream' of the world's stamp issues before 1870 (and sometimes beyond) has now follows that people with less price levels it naturally reached creme -de-la-creme pockets, albeit deeply fond of stam ps , must eventually be attracted concertina-like to fields such as this where they can obtain more mat eria l, of at least equal interest , for the same or a lesser expenditure . are all very well As Sir John Wilson has pointed out, condition connoisseurs but had stamp collectors been content, blindly , to follow their lead and to discard everything below a certain standard many worthwhile studies would never have got anywhere simply because there would not have been sufficient material in exis tence as a typical Oldenburg to yield up the results required . Sir John has mentioned the cutting down of blocks requirements , in particular example. Here connoisseur in mixed condition to produce something smaller and more exquisite wherewith to of Philately, tickle the palates of the Croesuses ( some would say the crocodiles?) has meant that the volume of material necessary to produce results for st udents small. has b eco me dangerously Actually there is room for both views. In certain countries material rejected may well be rejoiced in by the student. The early Australians by the connoisseur stand out in this regard by reason of two contra sting factors - the relatively small material and the relatively large size of the existing of connoisseur proportion fields open for study. th e similar to those expressed above may well have prompted Considerations the Caspary Auction, in London. Whatever decision to hold this , the penultimate reasons Caspary has come to London and British collectors, in particular , should have every reason to be grateful. It may be " the end of an era" on which to build for the future.
