The following 40 lots represent a collection formed over many years, with strength in Commonwealth. It is housed in various binders, often using ‘re-used’ album pages. The pages are arranged in the form of printed albums, where a space has been left for each stamp; this can lead you to believe there are fewer stamps than appear at a first glance! Most interest is in the period QV to early QE, but continues in many cases beyond 2010. Many of the early stamps are ‘spacefiller’ condition only, and there are several of the higher values which have fiscal cancels, this has been taken into account when setting estimates. Careful browsing will undoubtedly unearth plenty of useful stamps, with the possibility of some ‘gems’.
