PNG 1993 Conservation Stamp Strip of 4 – Mint Never Hinged
$11
PNG 1993 Conservation Stamp Strip of 4 – Mint Never Hinged (LH or RH selvedge).
Price includes domestic postage to an Australian address.
Here is one for the Strip enthusiast / collector; either thematic or country specific.
This is a rare Papua New Guinea 1993 Conservation strip showing 4 stamps divided by a gutter tab, Mint Never Hinged in immaculate condition. This strip is from a sheet of 10 rows of 8, with 2 gutter tabs and 8 stamps in each row.
Never released, this proposed non-postal issue was meant to raise funds for conservation initiatives for the PNG Research and Conservation Foundation (PNGRCF) which was then located in Goroka.
The total amount featured on the face value of the four (4) stamps was K6.00 - which represented the annual subscription fee to be a financial member of the PNGRCF and was sent to all members as a receipt.
For political reasons, the stamps were never issued, but for some time were offered for sale over the counter at selected post offices in the main centres of Papua New Guinea. Some say this was because none of the four birds featured were under threat of imminent extinction. However, not offering these parrots for sale to raise funds for conservation efforts within Papua New Guinea is said to have broken the heart of Founding Member and onetime Director, Bill Peckover (a great bird photographer and amateur ornithologist whose work featured on several PNG stamp issues, and the driving force for setting up the PNG Philatelic Bureau). Bill also made a major contribution to the establishment of the Crater Mountain Wildlife Management Area (spanning the Eastern Highlands, Simbu and Gulf Provinces). Bill died on the 26 July 2000, aged 78.
These stamps are not listed in any of the major philatelic catalogues, however it is an important strip of stamps in any serious Papua New Guinea collection. This strip presents as being scarce, judging by the few examples that come onto the market for sale. It is an extremely attractive and eminently collectible bird thematic. Photographed by Bill Peckover, designed by R. J. Bates and printed by Leigh & Mardon.
These stamps are genuine and I can provide buyers with a provenance trail that is beyond reproach.
They are also available as a pair ($16) or a corner block of four (Top Left, Bottom Left, Top Right or Bottom Right) for $30. These prices also include domestic postage to an Australian address.
