Recently I purchased a huge box of bundleware, maybe 750 bundles of 100 stamps, for $300. They're all Australian, and mainly KGVI era. I know a lot of people sniff at bundleware, but it can reap rewards. I love the hunt.

I found a fine used copy of the 2/6d Aboriginal with "watermark crown to left of CA". The normal used stamp is catalogued at £1, this stamp is catalogued at £2,750.

Bring on the bundleware!!

re: 1952 2/6d Aboriginal

When this stamp was bundled up, at least 50 years ago, the inverted sideways watermark hadn't been discovered. I don't know if there's a census on known copies, but I would guess at less than 50.

This is the stamp in question. When seen from the back, the crown points to the right of the stamp on the normal version.
