This original, authentic 1934 stamp trio pays homage to the key figure in the establishment and success of the Australian Wool Industry – John Macarthur.

One of the earliest of the settlers to arrive at Sydney Cove, Macarthur was the first Merino breeder, and a tireless campaigner for the export of Australian wool to Britain in the early 19th century. Although others made a significant contribution to the history of Australian wool production, Macarthur’s vision, and passionate support for the trade, has seen him enshrined as ‘The Father of the Merino Industry’.

Issued to mark the centenary of Macarthur’s death, and to honour his crucial role in the Wool Industry, the 2d Red, 3d Blue and 9d Purple stamps were released in 1934 – as Australia began to see the light after the darkest days of the Great Depression. A highly sought after, official Australian philatelic commemorative, featuring the world-famous Merino on each stamp, the 1934 trio is particularly desirable in pristine Mint Unhinged condition, as here.

A wonderfully affordable opportunity to add these historic stamps to your collection – click add to cart now!
