Inspired by some recent stamps up for sale at Mowbray's I thought it would be interesting to have a thread on rare NZ stamps. Hopefully I will one day stumble across one.  |

Some rare NZ items came up recently at a Corinphilla AG. auction. In particular the Enzio Carnio Collection of Postal History. SG1 cover went for 24,000 Swiss francs plus 22% commission so NZ$53,414 Kiwi. There was a nice ex-hackmey SG6 cover that went for CHF8,000 plus commission. And a bisect went for CHF12,500 plus commission. (Thanks Neil)  |

Really pumped to get the SG3 cover. Hard to find and a good price compared to catalogue. I have scanned the whole item so you can see how it's been folded for sending. I love the SG5 cover - not so rare but great multiple with redirection. Cheers, Neil

Just in case anyone is interested in the reason for rarity of the 'H.M.S. Vanguard 3d. 1949 Royal Visit issue' - "The issue was produced to commemorate George VI's tour of New Zealand, but was destroyed when he cancelled due to ill health. Only seven are known to exist."
It goes without saying that I don't have one.

thanks neil - have to admit that in my ignorance I had no idea what TePapa meant ....... now I do:-) .... 'The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa is New Zealand's national museum and is located in Wellington. Usually known as Te Papa (Māori for 'the treasure box'), it opened in 1998 after the merging of the National Museum of New Zealand and the National Art Gallery.' I bet there are a few envious eyes looking there.

I bet there are a few envious eyes looking there. NZ Post gave its collection/archives to Te Papa and so they have an amazing collection. Unfortunately you need to book in advance to see the items and of course there are so many that you will never see them all. They have put some items up on the net - make sure you search collections - but there are many not yet published. |
