Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited 10 Dollars Travellers Cheque Approved Design Proof (Pick Unlisted)

Several physical features identify this sheet as the accepted approval-stage record. The round control punch appears at the left, directly over the countersignature and facsimile-signature area. A fine red approval line runs along the lower margin and records the approval wording and 15 June 1965 submission date. The small "B1" notation appears in the upper right corner, almost certainly functioning as an internal Bradbury Wilkinson and Company plate, layout, or colour-stage reference. The sheet also preserves manuscript filing notes and printer's-room handling marks, giving it the character of a retained archival approval record from the original production process. Read more →

Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited 20 Dollars Travellers Cheque Rejected Design Proof (Pick Unlisted)

Its physical features place it securely within the March 1965 submission stage. The proof carries the "As Submitted 23.3.65" notation at the top and the decisive handwritten review note at the left margin recording the 12 April 1965 rejection letter. A round control punch appears at the right, and both printed facsimile signatures are present, confirming the sheet as a presentation-stage proof from the original approval process. These characteristics connect it directly with the companion 50 Dollars rejected design proof from the same 23 March 1965 submission, establishing both pieces as parallel records of the first design direction shown to the bank.

Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited 50 Dollars Travellers Cheque Rejected Design Proof (Pick Unlisted)

Its approval-trail features are central to its importance. The top margin records "As Submitted 23.3.65," placing the sheet in the original March submission. The left margin carries the handwritten review annotation referring to the 12 April 1965 letter, linking this proof directly to the same correspondence trail as the 20 Dollars example. A round control punch appears at the right, and the printed facsimile signature is present in the lower left signature area. These elements make the proof a physical record of the bank-printer review process rather than a general specimen or display item. Read more →

Australia 1965 Commercial Banking Company of Sydney 50 Dollars traveller's cheque photographic proof prepared for The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited, mounted on cardstock, dated 1 April 1965, showing the monochrome Bradbury Wilkinson and Company top-denomination design with central Australia map motif, C.B.C. Travellers' Cheque title panel, scripted amount line, and proof-room review presentation.

Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney 50 Dollars Travellers Cheque Photographic Proof (Pick Unlisted)

The cardstock-mounted photographic format is central to the piece's importance. It records the design as an unpunched photographic review state, isolating density, contrast, text hierarchy, and background strength during the first review phase of the top denomination. This is especially meaningful when viewed beside the later 15 June 1965 revised 50 Dollars photographic proof, where the bank-name field is brought forward on a lighter horizontal reserve and the proof carries the single round control punch associated with the formal proof sequence. Together, the two 50 Dollars photographic proofs preserve the movement from early photographic review to revised approval-stage presentation. Read more →

Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney 50 Dollars Travellers Cheque Approval-Stage Photographic Proof (Pick Unlisted)

The single round control punch is one of the most important physical details on this proof. Photographic proofs of this type normally function as mounted review images, yet this 15 June 1965 proof carries a punch through the cheque image at the drawer's signature area. That treatment aligns it with the formal proof-room handling seen on the submitted colour design proofs and separates it from the earlier 1 April 1965 50 Dollars photographic proof, which records the first photographic review state. The punch therefore serves as a stage marker, showing that this June proof had moved beyond simple photographic review into the approval-stage handling of the corrected design. Read more →
