TWO ALBUMS housing the extensive early to modern collection with a very large degree of completion either mint or (largely) used to 1983. Much of value throughout with good selections of Ceres & Napoleon Heads (inc. a respectable example of the 5f) plus a strong range of Peace & Commerce issues including several elusive types and a very good range of Postage Dues including an eminently presentable used 2f black, 1917 Orphans to 50c used, 1922 & 1926 Orphans sets used and an excellent group of Sinking Fund issues. The collection continues with much other useful inter-war material including 1927 Marseilles Air Exhibition pair on illustrated cover, 1936 50f green & 50f Banknote used and 1937 PEXIP min. sheet used plus an extensive selection of WWII period and post-war issues including all the good National Relief sets either mint or used. The condition of the earlies is rather mixed as usual but is generally well above average. An excellent lot which must be seen to be properly appreciated. (Very many 100's). |
