France and Colonies

Complete sheets of Vichy-era semi-postal stamps produced in Paris, but never distributed to the colonies (World War II made this impractical). Only known mint, and listed begrudgingly in Scott, these are nonetheless very attractive sheets with interesting overprints and great lathework in the margins. There are 32 different sheets in this lot, all appear to be unfolded, mint and Never Hinged. Expect a little gum aging and a bit of perf separation, but great for display, or to break up for resale. Includes issues for Martinique, Cameroon, New Caledonia, Equatorial Africa, Reunion, Togo, Madagascar, Guiana, Wallis & Futuna, Somalia, Sudan, Inini and Ivory Coast. Along with the sheets are a few large blocks or half sheets of a few airmail issues from a couple of these same countries previously listed. All in a mint sheet file. Estimate =
