Estate Clearance

The following ten lots represent an estate clearance; the previous owner being an enthusiastic hoarder and accumulator rather than a philatelist. Masses of loose stamps, junior albums, world collections, covers and MUCH more besides, mostly bought at car boot sales, general auctions and the odd item from specialised philatelic auctions. All this material was crammed into boxes and plastic crates awaiting proper sorting; now it’s over to you! Pot luck, as they come! The estimates are based on a mixture of the philatelic content and ‘expected sorting fun’! Some of the bulkier/heavier cheaper lot may not be taken to the auction room, but can be viewed at and collected from the shop.
