Rod Perry's Postal History
( The National Stamp Gallery )
Rodney A Perry (rap) has been a Philatelic trader since 1962. Rod established Rodney A Perry Auction Galleries in 1971 and sold 30 years later. The Auction House was rebranded as Millennium Philatelic Auctions.
For ten years from 1992, Rod was pro-prietor of Brusden-White Publishing, publisher of The Australian Commonwealth Specialists' Catalogue, established in 1926. During that decade of ownership, with the inimitable Geoff Kellow as Editor (which remains the situation), an ambitious programme to completely rewrite the catalogue was undertaken.
By the time the rights to the catalogue were sold (to the consortium which bought the Auction House), the rewrite, embracing Australian Commonwealth stamp issues or their development from 1901 to 2001, was completed.
The catalogue was awarded a Gold Medal at the International Exhibition ITALIA 98.
Rod has been a collector since 1955 and presently is developing a series of cover / stationery collections which have as their common theme Australasia as a destination.
Rod is the only Australian member of The Grand Prix Club International, achieved for his Grand Prix Victoria at AUSIPEX 84.
Rod controls an enormous accumulation of Australian and World covers and Sta-tionery, gathered during four decades of philatelic trading. The strength of this stock reposes largely in 20th century material, with a preponderance for items destined for Australasia, in the case of material originating abroad.
