Australia #1/126, O3/O10. Two pages of early used Australia, arranged in numerical order by Scott. What is counted is the "Roos" and King George V "Heads", with individual catalogue values up to $35.00, including an attractive group of 8 different "OS" overprints. A few nice cancels are noted. Expect only the occasional minor fault. The four duplicates of the 9d "Roo" and the lower five rows on the second page (including 1920s-1930's commemoratives / definitives) for one reason or another, are not counted in the total catalogue value. 2023 Scott US$465.15 =

Australia #1/2884. A ‘Roo and KGV "Heads" rich mounted collection with regular issues up to about 2008. Includes a touch of mint (and a bit heavily hinged) issues, with attractive copies of #5, 45 and 49. The "Roos" run up to 5/- values (#44 with a surprisingly light parcel cancel). There is a good run of "Heads" including dies, perfins, cancels (and include an envelope of stamps that didn’t quite make it to the pages). The assignment of some watermarks could use double-checking, but we have left them as the original owner had them listed. The 1930’s onwards is a mix of mint and used, and the occasional nice multiple, with some "back of the book" and a few covers to add to the appeal. After about 1980 the collection gets sparser but did see denominations up to $20.00 and some modern "Specimen" overprints. Approximately 1300 stamps, with light duplication. Estimate =

Australia #66/154, C4. Eye-catching group of 28 pre-War mint, Never Hinged blocks, arranged in numerical order by Scott. Includes some GeoV "Heads" (5 of the blocks are duplicates), plus the basic Kingford-Smith issue, large Kookaburra and Lyrebirds, the Melbourne issue (both perforations on the 3d), Macarthur, Anzac, GeoV on horse "Anzac" and the perf 11 airmail issue. Generally, very fresh appearance, there are a few with light even toning or couple of tropical spots (almost universally affect the back of the stamps). The C4 has a couple of short perfs, because of such a large perforation on a large stamp (which is why they changed the perf in a subsequent printing). Many of the blocks have light pencil marks with an old catalogue number, or the perforation, which should easily erase. Counted as Never Hinged, but with no premium for imprint or plate blocks in the total catalogue value. 2023 Scott US$2861.00 =

Australia - Do-it-yourself collection kit. Includes a near new Stanley Gibbons album with pages to 1985, with lots of mounts added, but about the only stamps mounted are mint 1980’s issues. Inside the cover of the album are a couple of collection fragments with used "Roos", GeoV "Heads" and a number of 2d-1/- commemorative issues up to the late 1930’s, with good potential and lots of great cancels. The lot also comes with a small shoebox filled with envelopes, glassines, loose stamps and presentation packs, which would be enough to make the album feel very full and have you looking for a place to mount the extensive more recent issues. In the box is a mix of mint and used by the hundreds, including "back of the book" (airmail, Australian Antarctic Territory). If you like your auction lots full of treasure packets, this lot is for you. Estimate =

Australia and States - An enticing "end of consignment" accumulation of mint and used Australia. A black stockcard holds some of the most intriguing items including a GeoVI coil paste-up pair, officials, South Australia issues and higher values from New South Wales and Tasmania. There is a 5/- "Cattle" and a 10/- explorer plus an old group of postage dues that look diverse at first glance. A page of Aussie states including some nice cancels. There are old album fragments, including a nice page of Victoria postal fiscals (with fiscal cancels) and the lot ends with about 20 circa 1980s presentation packs. Estimate =

Includes New South Wales (34), Queensland (70), South Australia (53), Tasmania (32), Victoria (105), Western Australia (70). Plenty of interesting material here including different printings, perforations, watermarks (including a couple of "locally produced" inverts, not listed by Scott or Gibbons), and a bit of "spice" added with the occasional perfin or revenue stamp. Definitely some cancel potential too for the postmark hound. Estimate =

Australian States - New South Wales #24/128, J1-J2, O13/O25. Selection of issues from 1854 to 1906, consisting of seventy-seven stamps, in mainly used condition, on two pages. The best stamp in this group is #40a, the aniline lilac 6p. Note the Watermarks on the 5p and 8p "diadems" from the top of the sheet showing "NEW SOUTH WALES POSTAGE". This was put there for the benefit of the printer so he would be sure to use the correct paper when printing the stamps. For some strange reason this is only, briefly, mentioned in Gibbons and no premiums are shown even 'though such stamps are obviously much scarcer than those with regular watermarks and are a legitimate variety collectible. For the same strange reason the Australian Catalogues have never attempted to list the Official perforated initials stamps for any of the States. See a few examples (un-priced) at the end of this offering. Owner's 2023 Scott US$475.15 =

Austria #28/800 plus Back of the Book. Pre-1968 mounted collection of 1050 mint and used stamps, a bit light in the 19th century, but with better coverage over the next 65 years, with strength in "back of the book". Great cancellations throughout, the material becomes increasingly mint and by the early 1960’s the stamps are mostly Never Hinged. Lots of $3-$10 sets, with the occasional better item. A black stockpage of "bonus" (items the collector just hadn’t got around to mounting) includes B264-B267 mint Hinged catalogues $35.00 and the "Birds" airmail set C54/C60 (missing only the 1s value, which catalogues $243.40). Expect some mixed condition, but almost no duplication. All in a black Borek springback binder. Estimate =

Bahrain #1/295. Small aqua 32-page Lighthouse stockbook from the distant past containing 50 years of Bahrain, starting with mint and used overprints on Indian stamps and later British issues (noted blocks of 4 and 10 of the 1948 Olympics). After they started issuing their own stamps in 1960, there is some spotty mint and used coverage (there are singles cataloguing up to $7.50 each like a block of #PT2). But the pleasant surprise is a few of the early souvenir sheets including Horses #224, Concord #247a, Dogs #256 and five copies of wildlife #295. The stamps are in generally excellent condition, while the stockbook has seen better days. 2023 Scott US$825.30 =

Belgium and Belgian Congo - Calling Leopold I detectives. This 2000 stamp mounted collection starts with a couple dozen imperforate Leopolds followed by other 19th century material with collector-identified printing and perforation differences. Noted the 1925 "Two Kings" set complete mint, a couple of copies of #213 used and many better cancels on the earlier material. The coverage of the mostly used issues is pretty good up until 1983. The "back of the book" is well represented including a nice used set of B31-B33, a mint set of B78-83, souvenir sheets and many Parcel Post stamps.. On top of all this is a 300 stamp Belgian Congo lot, mostly used, with a couple nice postal cards and finishing with about 50 Belgian East Africa (Rwanda) stamps. Estimate =

Canada #14/696 plus BOB. Red "Simplex" Stanley Gibbons album with used (and later mint) mounted collection covering 1859-1976. Strong Queen Victoria, with 4 "Cents" issues, a 5c and 15c Large Queen, a dozen Small Queens/Widow Weeds and 10x Jubilees up to the 50c (missing only the 6c). The late Victorian up to the Admirals are a bit "hit or miss", but both Admiral revalues are present (mint). There is some decent GeoV including a used Bluenose, Parliament, Cavell, etc. The "back of the book" has a decent showing with some Special Delivery, Airmails and Postage Dues. From the 1940’s onwards, the issues become increasingly mint and increasingly Never Hinged. Collection is mounted by chronological date of issue, so finding if sets are complete can be a bit of a challenge. Overall condition is excellent, with very few faulty stamps noted. 2023 Scott US$2903.50 =

Canada #141/302 plus some Back of the Book. Quasi-specialized, post-Admiral GeoV and full GeoVI collection on Minkus pages. Sometimes there is just a basic set, often mixed mint and used, (e.g. Confederation, Scroll, Pictorial, War). Then you turn the page and there are printing anomalies or interesting pieces, sometimes Unitrade listed, sometimes not. Expect to see coils, pairs, duplicates, plate numbers and other interesting "odds and ends" throughout. Strong in the Medallion issue, with not one, but two "broken E" varieties (one mint, one used). Noted a jump strip on a used coil strip of 6 #230 and a 3c Mufti coil starter piece (used!), a used Chateau dollar plate pair and War issue including coils and booklet panes. The "back of the book" is primarily airmail, special delivery and official overprints, with a mix of mint and used (sometimes both). Not your usual offering and you will definitely want to be double checking against your Unitrade as you go through. Many of the used with Western Canada cancels. No Arch issue, with about 400 stamps in total. Catalogued as basic stamps, but there are plenty of "plus value" items. Total 2023 Scott US $2167.85 =

Canada #1969 Missing Gold in Margin Error. Very Fine mint Never Hinged full sheet of 25 the 2003 "Year of the Ram" Lunar New Year 48c commemorative with "MISSING GOLD" in the sheet margin at left. Unitrade notes that the missing gold error was a "progressive" error, with some sheets missing only the gold on the selvedge (as is this sheet), a few missing only in the left column and some missing gold from the left two columns. This "progression" is due to the way that the gold foil, which came in a roll, was applied. If the gold foil roll ran out during the printing run, the lack of gold would progress from left to right on the sheet, depending on where the gold foil ran out. Theoretically, this missing gold in the selvedge error (affecting four distinct and different portions of the selvedge) is as rare as the listed #1969a (missing gold on the stamp).

Canada - A "Back of the Book" HOARD. This envelope box is filled with glassines that have multiples, usually corner or plate blocks that are very heavy on the red dues, many still in their original packaging from Canada Post. Not to be outdone are "G" overprints back to the Karsh issue and some miscellaneous purple dues, airmails, special delivery. Based on the numbering on the envelope, some of these may have been organized in the days of Scott’s Specialized catalogue, and have not likely been checked out for paper types. There are better individual items (e.g. there are about 30 mint copies of CO1 and a few C1, CE1, E9 etc.) Thousands of stamps in total, with over 99% being mint (and most of those are Never Hinged).

Probably 90+% is mint, but we noted some used material including 5c & 7c used 1908 Quebec Tercentenary stamps.

Canada - Accumulation of mint and used stamps in envelopes. At first glance, it would be easy to write this lot off as another accumulation of cheaper collector duplicates. More accurately, it is a Canada collection that was sorted and put in envelopes by denomination and never mounted. A quick poke through the various envelopes found a mix of used, mint, coils, booklet panes, souvenir sheets, multiples (the 2c envelope opened with a horizontal strip of 5 red Admiral coils), cancels and some "back of the book" (noting an Officially Sealed stamp). The first issues we noted were Victorian and looks to go up to about 2010. There are little pockets of mint postage (face likely to exceed $100.00) and some used Picture Postage issues.

It starts off with a couple of starter collections (still lots of catalogue value here) and progresses to stockpages and some old bidboard lots that were purchased and set aside. There are a few bundles of stockcards, album pages and loose stamps too. As for the stamps themselves, we noted a bunch of 1950’s and "red due" plate blocks, an attractive group of "back of the book" and assorted mostly used issues through the 1930’s. There are some 1960’s presentation cards, a CAPEX ’78 presentation set of three (plus a handful of the Ashton-Potter cards) and a pad (yes, a pad) of 1c MacDonald "caricature" precancel sheets.

Canada - For some collectors the best part of using stockbooks is the prerogative to change your mind at the turn of a page. This lovely 64-page Lighthouse stockbook with acetate strips and glassine interleaves and its blue cover is nearly new, housing relatively few stamps. However, when there are stamps, they are generally worth looking out for. It starts with official overprints, including "OHMS" on the Oil Well and "G" on the Fish dollar. There are plate blocks, including some Centennials, then shuffles over to 45c era Christmas and Art stamps and then jumps backwards to a pair of Export dollar plate blocks, and a trio of 20c Quebec Tercentenaries (which have been regummed). There is a nice plate block of 25(!) of the 1934 Cartier, the mysterious page of France that is in most of these albums, with a return to the back of the book (dues and airmails). Finally, we finish with a couple of 2c Admiral booklet panes and a War Tax block (all regummed) and a few mint dollar values (a couple are regummed, the rest hinged). An interested grouping once you can make sense of it. Easily worth the estimated value given. Estimate =

Many better topical themes from the period were covered such as Hockey, "Greeting Stamps", Queen Mother, Fresh Waters, Tall Ships, Corals, Birds, Tourist Attractions and Lunar New Years (to name a few).

While there is smattering of pre-1950 material, including some better GeoVI complete booklets, the strength is clearly in the Elizabethan era, with a great showing of different printings (often identified), plate blocks, singles, panes, complete booklets and MANY high-values.

The souvenir sheets start with CAPEX ’78 and is fairly complete for the next two decades, including a couple of show overprints (with the occasional duplicate) and some presentation packs (e.g. classic transportation, Lunar New Year). There is a touch of non-Canadian issues that are not counted in the total face value of $169.07. The book finishes with a dozen pages with 1937 Coronation and 1939 Royal Visit with large multiples, some plate blocks, some non-Scott listed plate flaws and nice postmarks.

Canada - Mostly mint stock from a disorganized dealer. While the material appears to all be from the 1920’s-1970’s, most of the time there is no order to the material (none at all!). This material was often set aside for future sorting, sometimes reusing glassines and envelopes which are not a reliable indicator of what is inside. However, when you get into it, you will see that there is better material everywhere. Tons of mint, mostly never hinged plate blocks, including War issue, GeoVI, Karsh, Wilding and Cameo issues. There are mint singles everywhere, such as a Never Hinged 1946 Peace set, E8 and various 1930’s issues. The stock has booklet panes (including a few postally used) and lots of coils in wholesale quantities. There is a strong showing of red postage due plate blocks and some OHMS overprint / G overprint / perfin official blocks. About 95% of this lot is mint. Given a very conservative estimate, with the opportunity for lots of reward for the patient collector willing to sort this out. Estimate =

Canada - Quarterly Pack Bonanza. An all-different assortment of 15 Quarterly Packs, ranging from the 3rd quarter of 2006 to the 3rd quarter of 2011. These packages represent the easiest way to assemble a mint offering from these periods, with a "one of each" format including the self-adhesive stamps in "die cut" format. The total face value in many of these has increased over the issue price, as the permanent ("P") stamps have seen a rise in postal value. Now that these are listed in the back of the Unitrade catalogue, collectors have had an increased interest in acquiring them for the sake of completion. Conservatively valued for the total original issue price. Total original issue price =

Amongst the albums, partial collections, stockpages and Canada Post collections includes a batch of early tagged multiples with Winnipeg cancels (ex.Bileski) that includes cello and booklet panes (includes both tagged and untagged) and including a couple of postally used Centennial panes. There are a number of used stocks, some starting in the Victorian era, others not until QEII, but there is a wide range of material, some with individual value, some with cancel interest, some perfect for stock or research. There is a bit of mint material scattered throughout and some back of the book (particularly airmail and dues) that have potential.

Over 300 stamps and four covers to keep you occupied for a while. As a bonus, there is a page of mostly used Jubilees, up to the 15c.

Canada and Newfoundland - A mix of "Borek" and quadrilled pages in an older-style Lighthouse springback album. The Canada is mostly mint, with a slow start in the Victorian era, but noted a mint 1/2c and 5c Jubilee. There are 4c and 5c mint GeoV Admirals and a mix of mint low values through the Confederation, Scroll, Arch and other KGV issues. The War and Peace sets are just missing the high values. The Elizabethan era is fairly complete and appears to be never hinged from 1967-1982. Buried in the back, there are about 30 coil singles and pairs followed by a smattering of "back of the book", but stronger in official overprints and noted three semi-official airmail stamps. The Newfoundland is mostly used, with some of the 1880 series, a 60c Henry VII from the Cabot set, a mint 36c Caribou and J1-J6. About 600 stamps in total. The binder might need a bit of a clean, but otherwise in reasonable condition. Estimate =

RPO" (End of Track and Prince Rupert, Railway Post Office) Oct 16th 1913. Two rarities, both for the BC postmark collector and RPO Railway Post Office Collector as these Post Offices were really the "End of the Line" travelling offices as the railway construction progressed. Of particular note, the End of Steel postmarked card's message reads (in part) "Hello Ray, I'm on my way out of the mountains, I have been seven days walking eighty-two miles through the snow, in some places on the trail it is drifted so full you can't hardly get through" (signed Ray Hamilton).

A long-time accumulation, with many of these covers being offered for the first time (ever), as this includes personal family correspondence covers from the collector (an employee himself of CPR). An array of both Canadian and Foreign usages, as CPR had offices in many countries abroad. Lots of better usages from Admirals to Centennials, with regular, returned mail and registered. Also included is 30-page write-up by Jon Johnson on the CPR perfins and their use, plus a small glassine of loose CPR perfins on USA issues.

Lots of Small Queens and Admirals with potential cancel interest, some usages to the UK (including one postage due) and even a 2c RLS (registration stamp usage). Several contain the original letters or death notices, which are always sought after by mourning cover collectors. As these are among the least philatelic forms of postal history, the condition is a bit mixed. However, there are still a few philatelically inspired covers, including for the death of King George V, the last day of the colony of Newfoundland and the last flight of Prairie airmail service.

Canada Revenues - Dealer’s stock of Canadian revenue stamps, strong in law stamps with most provinces represented, including better BC, Alberta, Manitoba (includes ML110b, ML111b, ML112b), lots of Quebec registration stamps (includes QR25/28), a nice Newfoundland inland revenue and a beautiful KEVII cigarette excise stamp. Of particular note is a trio of heavily punched Alberta Holiday tax stamps and three Telegraph franks (CPR and GNW). Most are used, a few are duplicated to about 10 copies, but there are all kinds of different printings, perforations and shades to be explored.

Canada Revenues - Interesting holding with very little order to it, that has some obviously better, such as $2 and $5 consular fee stamps, a couple of red war savings certificate stamps, BC law stamps and lots of Weights and Measures and Electrical Inspection (including a complete document). There might be some better hiding amongst the many excise, war tax and customs duty stamps. One of the most notable sections here are the tobacco labels and strips, with many overprints and revalues and even a few long strips, with some in French. A terrific lot for the patient sorter with a good eye. Estimate =

Czech Republic / Slovakia - Navy-blue 16-page Lighthouse brand stockbook with the basis for a good start to a post-breakup collection of these former constituents of Czechoslovakia. The majority of issues are 1993-1998, with a few sheetlets or souvenir sheets. There is a bit of minor duplication, sometimes because there are both mint and used examples (more-so for Czech Republic). Great topical interest (e.g. art, birds, sports, flora) and overall condition is excellent, with the mint appearing to be all Never Hinged. About 700 stamps in total. Estimate =

Czechoslovakia #65/256 plus Back of the Book. Volume 1 of an extensive collection in a Minkus album (with dust jacket), from the 1920’s up until the Second World War. Early issues include #92-#94 with differing types, perforations (e.g. #80a, #81a), imperforates and a good-looking range of values from the 1925 Masaryk issue. The "back of the book" includes a good offering of semi-postals, postage dues, newspaper stamps, etc. This album concludes with a selection of Eastern Silesia (includes #S22/30), Bohemia and Moravia, Slovakia (almost all used, including some nice postage dues). Scott numbers and (fairly representative) catalogue values in pencil. Most stamps in black mounts, but expect mint stamps to be Hinged. Note: Many of the better early sets, including semi-postals and airmails have been removed from this collection and are listed elsewhere in this sale. That being said, there is still LOTS of value in both the stamps and album here! Owner’s older Scott (year unknown) US$1070.10 =

Czechoslovakia #200B/2308, P26. A remarkably near-complete collection of mint and used souvenir sheets issued between 1934-80 housed in a Minkus 2-post binder with dust jacket. Starts with singles (only) from the National Anthem sheets, but then gets into a steady offering of one mint and one used copy of most of the souvenir sheets issued in the next 40+ years. Includes 434a, 556, 719, 1129a, 1134/1134a, 2190 (imperforate). In case this isn’t special enough, this collection includes lots of material found in Scott footnotes, such as "1939/1940 World’s Fair" overprints in a range of styles and colours and the 1943 London Exhibition souvenir sheet. More modern issues often have an example of the imperforate sheet. The album concludes with a number of pages with multiples, showpieces and presentation cards (noted a 1945 National uprising issue on card - both mint and used), which will add eye appeal to any collection. Earlier mint are Hinged, overall condition is remarkable. A rare opportunity to get so many souvenir sheets at one time. Well worth the conservative estimated value. Estimate =

Volume 2 of this collection in a Minkus 2-post binder (no dust jacked) with a very complete range of mint issues from the end of WWII to 1975, with a bit of "back of the book". Stamps are individually mounted in black mounts, with glassine interleaves between pages. You will be pressed to find a blank space in this album (note: there are no souvenir sheets). Somewhere around 1960 the stamps went from being Hinged to Never Hinged. We noted an abundance of better topical issues (e.g. birds, sports, arts). Stamps are in excellent condition, as is the binder. About 1700 stamps. The owner catalogued years ago, which appears to be representative of current values.

Czechoslovakia #793/1895. Collection of souvenir sheets / miniature sheets in a Minkus brand binder (with dust jacket). Often missed by collectors of both Czechoslovakia and topicals are these souvenir sheets/mini-sheetlets that almost universally show up as a footnote in Scott. Includes a near complete run from 1957-1973 (missing #1132 and 1354-60), including the 1958 UNESCO issues and #1080, 1129a, 1439 and up to the flower issue of 1973.

Includes a number of 1980-1984 souvenir sheets, including better ones for international philatelic exhibitions. As previously, the mint are in black mounts and the pages have glassine interleaves. What is different with this album is that in the late 1970’s the collector decided to "double up" the pages, meaning you get two consecutive identical pages, one with mint stamps, the other with used. The used aren’t as complete as the mint, but they are pretty close. Overall condition is excellent. About 700 stamps. 2023 Scott US$525.70 =

Includes clear readable cancels on the earlier material, with individual items having catalogue values up to $75.00 each. We noted that many were selected for cancels, different printings, and supplemented with multiples. Some items may need you to break out your specialized Facit catalogue to appreciate the nuances.

Mounted collection on quadrilled pages in a black "Borek" springback album, plus a few loose pages and a black stockcard from another 19th century collection and a small wholesale lot of mint St. Pierre and Miquelon. The album starts with the Peace and Commerce issue and runs to 1967, starting off mostly used, before gradually transitioning to mint (and later Never Hinged). The material is mostly lower value, with individual stamps up to $10.00 catalogue value, with the most appeal being with the semi-postals (although we did note a mint copy of #C36). This collection of 1020 stamps is supplemented with an older grouping of Napoleon and Bordeaux issues, with a couple of Obock/Djibouti/Somalia overprints and a card with Alsace and Lorraine official imitations, including some attractive multiples.

France Offices in Turkey (Levant) - Cavalle #1/15. A near complete run of overprints and revalues from Cavalle, now part of Greece. This region has changed hands several times over the past century, but for this brief incarnation, it was under French administration and issued two sets of stamps. Included in this lot are 18 mint and used stamps which include die types and shades. The mint are generally heavily Hinged and the two high denominations (#14-15) are mint no gum. Most of the value here is in the Peace and Commerce overprints. Not often seen material. 2023 Scott US$610.50 =

Germany - Blue Lighthouse "alligator" finish springback album overfilled with 1983-1948 hingeless pages. That isn’t a typo. At some point, something happened with this collection and the pages were mounted in reverse chronological order, maybe it was when the semi-postal pages were integrated into the collection. For what it’s worth, the pages that are here are quite complete, the stamps mostly used for the Post-WWII period and then a good run of mint. Many of the pages have a glassine envelope in the fold with used stamps that match the stamps on the pages. Several hundred stamps here, with some additional material included such as B594/B778 and a number of complete used sets on black stockpages (catalogue over US$100.00 alone on these extra pages). Album and pages retail over $600.00! A truly "bulging" group, so pages could benefit being split with another binder. Estimate =

Germany - Masses of post-war marks. A pile of mint sheets, part sheets, blocks and strips of a number of issues that came out immediately after the Second World War, including some Bundesrepublic issues, American Military Government, Leipzig Fair, as well as some odds n’ ends tucked in between, like what appears to be an original sleeve for a ream of sheets. Many different denominations, some have attractive printing in the selvedge. Most have some kind of interleaving between, so there isn’t much gum damage. A number of the sheets have minor edge damage due to the different sized sheets being poorly stored. Offered as received. Estimate =

Germany - Massive mint and used collector's accumulation. A double-height pizza box absolutely stuffed with glassines / envelopes of both mint and used material. While there is not much "early" material, the groups start to get much larger in the 1920's inflation period, then with good showings of WWII / Post WWII era including 3rd Reich, AM Post, "Posthorn" etc. The strongest showings are of Germany / DDR in the 1960's and 1970's with a massive amount of mint Never Hinged material including blocks / multiples (often just as received from the Post Office). While a bit hard to picture (as it the nature of packets / envelopes), there are MANY thousands of stamps here, just waiting to be sorted out. Well worth the very conservative estimate. Estimate =

Germany - Bavaria - Three album pages and 10 black presentation cards with early Bavarian material, including the first issues, the coat of arms, a couple of postage dues and some postal stationery cut squares. The album pages are the last of a German States collection that we have been breaking up. The condition of this section is very mixed (including some outright space fillers) and many will require soaking to get them cleaned up. There is some potentially high catalogue value here, for example the used copy of #1, (sadly, with the bite out of the corner), catalogues $2,250.00. Complementing these pages is an overwhelmingly used dealer/wholesale lot with over 100 stamps from the "Coat of Arms" issue. Many have notes on the back of the card to aid with identification.

Great Britain #28/134. A tale of two notebooks. The first is a child’s scribbler probably from the 1960’s with about 220 used stamps from the Victorian-Edwardian period, including better, such as #28 x4 (catalogue $300.00 each), along with better issues throughout, including many different plate numbers and some cancel potential. Duplication in the Jubilee and KEVII issues, including some shade potential (the prices, mostly in pennies, are from another era!). Unfortunately, the stamps were heavily hinged to the pages, and some possibly even glued in place. So, despite there being a few thousand dollars in catalogue value here, the successful bidder may be advised to soak them all off. If that doesn’t "float your boat" the second "notebook" is a plate reconstruction booklet for #33, with 112 used and 1 mint copy all in their appropriate sheet location.

The first four pages are a mix of various "penny red" printings, with about half being #33. We noted an uneven block of 6 of #16 (it should be mentioned that there is no indication that any plating study has been done). The book jumps ahead to Great War-era GeoV issues and 8 Seahorses. We then whipsaw back to the QV Jubilee issue (noted six copies of the 4 1/2d, catalogue $45.00 each). The Edward VII includes value to the 10d, finally finishing with the GeoVI issues.

Iceland #1-7. Mixed condition grouping of 1873 issues. Including #1 (no gum, rounded corner...but catalogues $1,050.00), #2 (mint, tone spot, hinge remnant, $175.00), #3-#7 are all used, and all faulty, and would catalogue $7300.00! However, Scott footnotes read "False and favor cancellations are often found on #1-7. Values are considerably less". Facet prices post-period favour cancels at 10-30% of their regular catalogue values. Regardless, given the condition of the stamps, we are only counting the catalogue value of the first two stamps in this lot, and the others can act as attractive space fillers until something better comes along. 2023 Scott US$1,225.00 =

New Zealand - From a Chalon all the way to 2017 with many stops along the way. Another consignment leftover, some obvious highlights being a nice 8d EdwardVII, the GeoV definitives (11 of the 15 denominations mint) and most of the two printings of the 1935. "Back of the book" includes a couple of mint blocks of AR101, a few health souvenir sheets, #C5 and some officials (few from 1935, whole Centennial set etc). There is a bundle of 1970’s presentation folders, some 1980’s stamp and/or first day cover packs and some 1990’s mint souvenir sheets with philatelic exhibition printings. There are a few 45c era complete booklets and even a couple of early 2000s mini-panes. Stiffening this lot is a 1985 year set in slipcover. Taming this lot will be rewarding. Estimate =

New Zealand - Kiwi goodness on 16 manila stockpages, with a mostly used range of stamps running from the "Chalons" up to the late 1990’s. Amongst the several hundred stamps are 4 Chalons, including a 2d & 6d blue and two 6d browns. There are some nice "Sidefaces" including a Sunlight ad, premium cancels and values up to 1/-, followed by a mint and used 1d Auckland overprint and 1/2d and 1d from the Christchurch set. Noted some GeoV definitives up to 1/- and a few officials. The QEII material is a bit scattered, with no semi-postals. Condition looks to be typical for this type of material. The catalogue value will add up quickly. Estimate =

New Zealand - Postal Stationery aerogramme hoard covering 1945-1995, which was the start of a serious study into the various printings and usages. Includes GeoVI-era "Letter Cards", even though they are really air letters, complete with different printings, papers, flaps, etc, with a mix of mint and used. New Zeland did not produce pre-paid postal stationery in this era, so companies had to be licensed to sell approved designs (this practice still largely exists). Some of these aerogrammes had special printings to appeal to tourism, Christmas or special events. We even noted a couple of "OHMS" aerogrammes. The one time that postal stationery was produced was in the early 1980’s with flight themes, including Ross Dependency. The items are packed into page protectors, so an exact count is difficult, but there looks to be at least 150 items. There is still no definitive work on these items. Maybe you will be the one to write the book. Ex-Kasper. Estimate =

The King Carlos and Ceres issues are well represented, including overprints. There are some multiples which positively break up the appearance of the collection. Above average coverage up to 1975 which includes an interesting section of "back of the book". Many colonies included, with the better being Angola, Portuguese India, Macau, Mozambique and Nyassa.

Romania #20/1753, B1/B20 and other Back of the Book. Eclectic mix of album pages holds a powerful, thorough collection. Starts with some better Prince Carol issues, including different colours and perforations, then maintains a remarkably complete run into the 20th century with sets and singles to $25.00 throughout. One highlight is a complete set of the 1903 New Post Office set (catalogues $214.25) and a mint set of the 1906 General Exposition (catalogues $219.75). The material is a bit sparser in the 1930’s-1940’s, but regains strength in 1956 with the animal set #1082-1093 (mint) and is a bit hit or miss up to 1965, noting a number of issues with topical interest (e.g. sports, space, animals). There are some nice used semi-postals, and postage dues, plus a scattering of other back of the book issues. Expect some minor faults in early issues, but the overall condition is better than average. About 700 mostly different stamps in total. Estimate =

Noted three denominations from the 1906 "Exhibition" overprints "SE". The coverage goes up to 1983 is a bit spotty in places.

There is good representation through to the early USSR, including the many overprints and revaluations, with better sets and singles. There are better items from the 1930’s including #471 (Gorki) and #478 (Revolution 15th anniversary), mint 1933 "Peoples" set (catalogues $256.00), #547 (mint), #569-572 (Persian Art - cat.$160.00) and a partial Pushkin set. The post-war era is markedly sparser, with a few mint issues in the last couple of years, ending 1967. There is a bit of "back of the book", with the occasional better semi-postal or airmail stamp. Not that you need a bonus on this lot, but there are a couple of pages of printings for use in the Russian-Levant. All housed in an old black Borek springback binder.

Spain #1/1487 plus Back of the Book. Fascinating mounted collection in a black "Borek" springback album of mint and used Spanish issues from 1850 to 1967 with some Spanish Morocco included. Lots of 19th century classics, mostly used, with catalogue values up to $20.00 each. In addition to the traditional stamps, this lot has many local issues/overprints, cinderellas and fundraising labels during the 1930’s Civil War. While these labels are not listed in Scott, they add a nice angle to any Spanish collection. Post war, the issues become increasingly mint and in the last couple of years, the mint stamps are Never Hinged. The collection’s disorganization can easily be solved with a bit of patience.

Sweden #2/750 plus Back of the Book. First century attractive mounted collection on Borek pages, covering up to 1967. Fairly complete almost right from the start, with early issues that include better (although generally faulty) such as #2, #7, #12, #14. The 1924 UPU Congress issues is complete used up to the 80o value (#197-208), and the UPU issue is near complete (missing the 60o). These two partial sets catalogue $600.00 alone. The collection is almost exclusively used, transiting to mint stamps around 1950. There are some noteworthy semi-postals and officials, plus some terrific "SON" (socked on the nose) cancels throughout, many from many smaller towns. Need to double check perforations, as this collector used a simplified method of collecting. After the early condition issues, the lot becomes steadily higher in quality. A high-quality offering.

Has a good range of regular issue definitives and commemoratives, collected as simplified listings, so better printings could be hiding in plain sight. Noted better, such as #75 and #100. There is a better run of mostly used semi-postals, with many of the "Shield" issues and better sets up to 1942 (which catalogue $468.00 alone).

Switzerland - American Helvetia Philatelic Society "not your usual" retired circuit book, with pricing from Zumstein 1995(!). Includes about 133 stamps from the seated Helvetia up to about 1950 with a range of types, printings, shades, cancels. Better include a couple of mid-values of the Pax set, some used Pro-Juventute semi-postals and a terrific group of used early airmail stamps. We noticed that after 30 years, the Zumstein catalogue prices are an uncannily close match to 2023 Scott (e.g. 40 SFr = $40.00). There is a bit more variation in the back of the book, but it indicates that there is over US$1000.00 basic Scott catalogue value here.

Switzerland - Specialists should take a close look at this mounted collection, as this is a goldmine of issues (especially if using the Zumstein reference book, which will delve into places Scott catalogue does not). This pre-1990 offering includes about 40 "Seated Helveticas" with a couple imperforate; some identified, some with the notation "check" (presumably for papers and different printings) and a trio of attractive covers. Decent coverage of 1920’s-1930’s issues including near complete used "shield" Pro-Juventute issues and some decent airmails.

Probably half of the stamps in this lot are strictly spacefillers but hidden amongst these are some better 19th century issues with real potential. Unchecked for grills, corks, printing types. There are some obviously higher value stamps and by the 20th century the stamps become mint (although we suspect some re-gumming in a few cases), with some coil pairs and imperforates, a few plate blocks and a bit of back of the book.

Most interesting is the century old "Lincoln" album with several hundred stamps, most pre-1920. Just slightly younger is a "Modern" album that is again quite full. From the Harris family are a "Statesman Deluxe" and a "Traveller" album (total 4,000+ stamps here). The strength of this lot is likely Europe, with lots of Belgium and Germany noted, but also saw Switzerland, Great Britain, Argentina and some topicals which include space, birds, butterflies, fish and maps.

Worldwide - A treasure trove from a "collector of almost anything" filling an envelope box with singles and sets very randomly housed in "102" cards and glassines. Mint, used, much from the 19th century and didn’t see anything after 1980. To add to your enjoyment, the collector who assembled this lot reused holders without updating the information. In the first inch of "102" cards, we noted stamps from Germany, Austria, Romania, Rhodesia, France, South Africa, Paraguay, Newfoundland, Great Britain, Indonesia, Belize, New Zealand and Spain. If there are any concentrations in this lot, they would include Canada, United States, Italy and Vatican. Amongst the chaos we noted revenue stamps, reprints/forgeries which add another layer of interest. A few hundred holders, in which we noted $5.00-$10.00 stamps throughout. Estimate =

Worldwide - Accordion file of philatelic fun and treasure, sorted from A-Z. While we are not sure if this was the collector’s duplicates or was material waiting to be integrated into their collection, one thing we are sure of is the contents are well above average! Each letter has a range of material, sorted by country and placed in envelopes, glassine or stockcard. It is diverse, as an example, for the letter "A", there are glassines of Algeria, Aland, Andorra, Armenia, Australian Antarctic Territory, Angola, an envelope for used high value Australia circa 2000, an envelope of Argentina, early Austria on a black stockcard, a couple Australian presentation packs (face AUD$28.00) and some Albania (and that is just the letter "A"!). The highlights are too numerous to list but did note Montserrat #159-173 mint NH and several mint Hinged sets of St. Lucia between #95/515 (these alone catalogue almost $300.00). Mostly stamps, but there are a few covers from France & Germany. Potential at every turn. Estimate =

Worldwide - Africa-esque dealer’s stock in four homemade boxes, sorted by country with individual stamps in a #5 glassine envelope, with anywhere from 1-15 stamps in each. Includes Burundi, Guinea, Tanzania, Mauritius, St. Helena, Liberia and Morocco. We estimate there are about 3000 glassines and conservatively 5000 stamps, with the occasional block or small souvenir sheet. This was a collector’s retirement project to become a vest-pocket dealer that never materialized, and the stock was never viewed by prospective buyers. The retail value of the glassines alone is a couple hundred dollars. Offered as received by us. Estimate =

Worldwide - Bankers Box Accumulation. A treasure trove of material, the result of a collectors philatelic "clean-up". We noted a package of mint US airmail issues (including earlier), an Audubon "Birds of the World" FDC presentation album (the stamps catalogue value alone would add up quickly!), China Year Set Books with mint stamps x3 (1991-1993), "Ambassador" album with world stamps, a Ziploc of Canada / World (looks to be selected for postmarks), a couple of small stockbooks packed with USA / Canada, a dozen or so high-quality pages with Mint NH / FDC "Royals" topicals (including Will and Kate), several small batches of Germany (including inflation era sheets, curled a bit), a small collection of "Chess on Stamps" and two decent stockbooks with an assortment of used Canada. An enticing lot, filled with a wide array of material, with hidden gems throughout! Estimate =

Worldwide - Bankers Box filled with 14 stockbooks of various makes and sizes, filled (to different extents, some sparsely) with a wide array of worldwide stamps (often sorted by country or geographical area). We noted some decent showings of Cyprus, Canada, Great Britain, Barbados and some interesting "flower" topicals. Most of the stockbooks can be cleaned up for reuse, but likely a couple be at the end of their use once the stamps are removed.

Most of the material is sets or singles with catalogue values up to $10 each. There is some unchecked Victorian-era material with potential upside value, a few complete booklets, a few souvenir sheets and there is a bit of revenue and cinderella material that turns up every once in a while.

Worldwide - Eastern Mediterranean (Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey) dealer’s stock, housed in four homemade boxes. Due to a change in health, this material has never been viewed by collectors and is being sold as received. Each box holds about 1000x #5 glassine envelopes, with each glassine identified by Scott and contains between 1-10 stamps. The stamps are often used, although there is a smattering of mint (including Never Hinged). Three countries in this lot: Bulgaria (two boxes) #12/3986, with a few small sized souvenir sheets and a handful of back of the book. Greece includes #6/2283 with some back of the book and Epirus. Turkey runs from #42/2877, with lots of semi-postal, officials, with a touch of "offices in Asia" and "Cyprus".

Worldwide - Intriguing looseleaf ledger book with hand-ruled pages houses a diverse and interesting collection, populated with 1870-1930’s issues. Strength is in GB, Canada, India and British Colonies, with some Europe (early Germany and Switzerland are worth checking out) and a touch of South America, Africa and USA. Mostly used, expect the mint to be heavily hinged. This is one of those lots where you see better items everywhere. Some of the material has fallen out (or was never mounted) and has been slid towards the binding. Hundreds of stamps. How old is this 2" deep sales ledger? Inside the cover is a sticker for Berry’s Drugs and Stationery Vernon BC, which operated around the time of the Great War. Other than some penciled notes where someone started cataloguing it a few years ago, this book has been untouched for 80 years! Estimate =

Worldwide - Elvis Presley Topical Collection - Part 3 - The unmounted material. This collector was still an active buyer of everything Elvis up until a few years ago, but not everything that was purchased made it into her albums. As with many collections which delve into the more modern material, the more recent material is often the most expensive. This small stationery box is packed with "new issues" from about 2010 onwards and a bit of ephemera (most with their original price tags still on them). There is probably enough material to make a full third album of the size and value of the first album. There might be a very slight bit of duplication with the previous two lots. Overall condition is excellent. Includes countries not represented in the earlier two lots, such as a lovely Australian presentation folder.

Worldwide - Europe - Smaller mid-European country grouping of Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Monaco. The 220 Liechtenstein stamps include values from the 1912 issue and early imperforate and perforated issues and then becomes spotty from the 1920’s to about 1983. The "back of the book" is equally light, but includes O1-O7, the first official overprinted issue (missing the top value) mint no gum. Luxembourg includes some early "Coat of Arms" issues which will need your critical eye, and then lots of issues to the 1920’s. Includes #315-317 mint never Hinged, and decent used coverage until the late 1970’s plus a couple of souvenir sheets including the 1939 anniversary sheet (mint). Noteworthy "back of the book" includes semi-postals, airmail and official overprints. Over 600 stamps. Saving the best for last is Monaco, with some mint Prince Charles III and Prince Albert issues with individual catalogue values up to $85.00. Afterwards, the quantity and value of the coverage drops, so this is for the "classic" collectors. Monaco counts out at 320 stamps. In total over 1100 stamps, with duplication generally only when there is both a mint and used stamp, or if there are interesting cancellations. Estimate =

Worldwide - Horse Topical - The "Horse of the Month" stamp service ran a subscription service which sent collectors new worldwide issues with anything remotely horse related. This includes breeds, types of service, progression of transportation and even carousels. In some months, historical issues were included, so stamps are seen back to the 1960’s. Besides stamps, there are souvenir sheets, commemorative panels, the occasional first day cover, postal stationery and one numismatic cover. Based on the 76 envelopes in this lot, this collector was a member for about 6 years. The packages were never explored or mounted, so they should all be in excellent condition. There are a few hundred stamps here, which would have cost at least $1000.00 as new issues. Estimate =

While many countries are present, there is decent representation from Antigua, Ascension (GeoVI), Bahamas, Barbados (lots of Britannia issues) and ending with some nice Bermuda. About 1500 different stamps, with a mix of mint and used. Where there is duplication, it is usually because of both mint and used being represented, or there being a better cancel to be included. While much of the material is common, with lots of short sets, there are better individual stamps of up to $25.00 catalogue found throughout. The sections for Australia and Great Britain which were previously in this binder are being sold as separate lots in this sale. Binder in decent condition, which new retails about $75.00 CDN.

Beautifully mounted collection stretching from 19th century Czarist issues up to the mid-1980’s, with good coverage throughout and strength in the classic period and with lots of better 1930’s issues. Includes mint and used, perforated and imperforate, with printing variants (papers, perforations) and overprints. The owner has identified a number of items that need extra research. From 1935 onwards, better used includes the anti-war, Moscow subway, Spartacist games, and Persian Art issues. Coverage through the war period forward is decent, supplemented with the occasional souvenir sheet or cover. Some early semi-postals are here, as is a respectable offering of 1930’s air mail issues. Approximately 4100 stamps, with individual catalogue values up to $50.00 each. All of this quality Russia is rounded out a few Baltic countries which are represented with an additional couple hundred stamps.

Worldwide Collection - Volume 11 Germany 2/1408, B1/B602, C1/C61. Massive, thought-provoking and extensive collection of 3800 mint and used stamps from 1872 up to 1983. Starts with a good run of early "Eagle" issues followed by a significant amount of Germania issues, including lots of "socked-on-the-nose" cancels and a few perfins. The inflation period is mostly mint and the Third Reich period often has both mint and used examples. The post-war period is more used than mint, in which we noted the semi-postals are a bit "hit or miss" but includes better sets (noted a complete 1936 Berlin Olympics booklet, and two used sets of the B141-B143 overprinted "Auto Race" issue). The lot concludes with a bit of airmail material - which includes a Hindenburg cover. Where there is duplication, it is usually because there is both a mint and used example of a stamp, or that there are nice cancels, or a multiple (including margin copies). Additionally, there are a small number of booklet panes or souvenir sheets and every few pages there is a cover that really complements this collection. Given the size and age of the material, expect the occasional fault, but overall, the stamps appear to be in decent condition, with eye-catching items everywhere you look. Estimate =

The Czech issues start in 1918 and has a very complete run up to the early 1970’s (and a bit inconsistent after that), including back of the book, with a few nice covers that increase the appeal of this collection (such as the Praga 1955 Exhibition souvenir sheet on registered cover), and finishing with some Bohemia and Moravia. The DDR stamps section starts out a little slow, but that is compensated for by nine lovely covers and first day covers, with some better issues. Noted the Karl Marx perforated souvenir sheet, some multiples of the official issues and the odd better item that peeks out from time to time.

There is a touch of Taiwanese issues to be found, but no PRC. There is decent coverage of Indonesia 1950’s-1960’s issues, but the best is Japan from the late 19th century and includes a "tourist folder" followed by coverage into the early 1970’s, supplemented with a few covers and some "Cinderella" issues. There is light coverage of Korea, Laos, Maldives Islands and Manchukuo, but the collection gains steam again with Nepal and the Philippines, finishing with a fair bit of material from Thailand and Vietnam.

Worldwide Collection - Volume 18 France and Colonies. A fabulous collection housed in a Scott International album with over 3,000 stamps. The collection starts strong in 19th century items including dozens of Ceres and Napolean III issues (mostly used but with a few mint) plus 20 domestic covers. The previous owner has identified many of the items with somewhat recent catalogue values of up to $100.00 each. We noted good representation of the Peace and Commerce up to the "Liberty and Peace" issues (used copy of #126 and #132). There is very complete coverage through the 1920’s-1930’s (noted a block of 6 of #262) with the regular issues well represented and strong until about 1983. The "back of the book" is equally well matched, with a good run of semi-postals from the 1930’s including a lightly Hinged copy of B34, and a cover with a set of B249-B254 (but with lots of other better in between). The Airmails include C17 used, C22 mint. The previous owner has included little gems throughout, such as gutter pairs, beautiful cancels, "Cinderellas", revenues and covers. But we aren’t done yet, as there are issues from Colonies (including post-independence), in which we noted a used copy of Cochin (China) #1 (catalogues $120.00), Algeria, and 1960’s issues from African colonies such as Burundi, Congo, Cameroon, Chad.

Worldwide Collection - Volume 19 - Netherlands and Colonies. Extensive classic-focused mounted collection of Dutch stamps up to 1980. Lots of different perforations, printings and selected cancels noted, with the previous owner having identified and priced many of the better items. Mostly used, with some mint here and there and the occasional cover. There is a good offering of semi-postals, including some sheetlets and includes some colonies with some earlier Curacao and lots of pre-war Dutch Indies. Despite there being over 1500 stamps, the Scott International binder has lots of room for expansion (binder a bit split). Estimate =

Worldwide Collection - Volume 2 British Commonwealth. "British East Africa" to "Hong Kong" in Scott International album with pages up to 1983. While many countries are present, there is noteworthy mention of British East Africa #36 used (catalogue US$110.00), British Honduras, Brunei "River scenes", Burma, a nice run of Ceylon/Sri Lanka, Cyprus, Dominica. This is all followed by some Falkland Islands (& Dependencies), Fiji, Gibraltar (including some KGVI perforation and watermark variants), Ghana, Gold Coast, Grenada, and a respectable offering of Hong Kong. About 3700 mostly different stamps, with a mix of mint and used. When there is duplication, it is usually because of both mint and used being represented, or there being a better cancel, perforation difference, etc. While there are many more common stamps, better individual stamps of up to $25.00 catalogue found throughout. The binder is in reasonable condition. Estimate =

Worldwide Collection - Volume 20 - French Colonies. Collection of both colonial and post-independence issues from over 20 French colonies present. A strong representation from St. Pierre and Miquelon, Reunion, Ivory Coast and Sudan, with a mix of mint and used, interspersed with an occasional "bonus" item such as a cover, revenue or Cinderella. Many of the African colonies have a smattering of overprints on French stamps, or partial sets of "Common Design" issues, followed by better coverage of 1960’s post-independence issues which are often colourful and topical laden. About 3000 stamps fill this Scott International album but still has the feel of being lightly populated. There are undoubtedly finds to be found here. Estimate =

Worldwide Collection - Volume 3 British Commonwealth. "Ireland" to "Nauru" in Scott International album with pages up to 1983. While multiple countries are present, there is noteworthy mention of Ireland (including a few covers), Jamaica (with a couple of attractive 1935 Silver Jubilee blocks), Kenya (with Kenya Uganda, KUT and Uganda / German East Africa), Labuan and Leeward Islands. For collectors of the Malay Peninsula, there is some Malaya/Malaysia, including States, Singapore and Straits Settlements. All of this is folloed by a decent representation of Malta and Mauritius, with a touch of Montserrat. Approximately 3700 mostly different stamps, with a mix of both mint and used. When there is duplication, it is usually because both mint and used are represented, or there being a better cancel or perforation difference to showcase. While many of the stamps are more common, there are better individual stamps of up to $25.00 catalogue value to found throughout. The binder itself is in reasonable condition. Estimate =

Worldwide Collection - Volume 4 British Commonwealth. "New Hebrides" to "Solomon Islands" in Scott International album with pages up to 1982.

About 3700 mostly different stamps, with a mix of mint and used. When there is duplication, it is usually because of both mint and used being represented, or there being a better cancel, perforation difference to be included. While there are lots of more common, there are better individual stamps with up to $25.00 catalogue found throughout.

Worldwide Collection - Volume 5 British Commonwealth. "St. Vincent" to "Zanzibar" in Scott International album with pages up to 1983. While a multitude of countries are represented, notable areas include St. Vincent, Samoa, Sarawak, Seychelles and the ever-popular Sierra Leone, the latter with both "classics" and lots of modern "self-stick" issues. South Africa includes many pairs (English / Afrikaans language) and lots of "back of the book" coverage. South West Africa is equally well represented, as is Natal, Orange River Colony and Cape of Good Hope (including "triangles"). The Transvaal section is intriguing, plus there is some worthwhile Trinidad, a pair of the "penguin labels" and 1960 "Seallife" from Tristan da Cunha, finishing with some British Virgin Islands. Approximately 4500 mostly different stamps, with a mix of mint and used. Where there is duplication, it is usually because of both mint and used being represented, or a better cancel or perforation difference was included. We noted many better individual stamps of up to $25.00 catalogue each throughout. The binder is in reasonable condition. Estimate =

Worldwide Collection - Volume 6 Italy, Colonies and San Marino. Superior, value-laden mounted collection, strong from the classical era into the 1930’s. This collector had an eye for attractive stamp and was always looking for interesting variants, such as shades, cancels and printing oddities. A mix of 2000 mint and used stamps, with better items noted by pencil. Noted many $20.00 - $50.00 items or sets, with the occasional item up to $100.00 sitting inconspicuously. Good Fascist-era and post-war issues with some later coverage to the 1980’s. The "back of the book" is not to be overlooked, with better semi-postals (such as B35-37 used), airmails, postage dues and special deliveries. The "cherry on top" of the collection is the cinderellas, revenues and covers to be found throughout. There are a couple hundred Colonial issues, with be best being the showing from Somalia. There is a bit of "States" material from Sardinia and Roman States (these being the usual dubious issues). If you still need more Mediterranean Madness, there is a section of about 400 San Marino stamps of the same quality and quirkiness. A rare opportunity. Note: Some of the better sets from this collection are being sold individually, but there is still substantial "meat" on these bones. Estimate =

Worldwide Collection - Volume 7 Balkans. Yugoslavia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, Greece, Crete, making for a Balkan and "Balkan-adjacent" countries collection. The Yugoslavian material is strongest in the pre-war era, with some overprints, revalues and a couple of attractive covers. The three countries that ended up forming Yugoslavia have moderate coverage until 1920, including a nice group of used 1916 Serbian overprints. The Greece section brings plenty of interesting material up until 1980, with notable used classics, with a good range of Hermes heads and some "back of the book" including airmails. Approximately 2000 stamps here. While listed as a volume, there is no album with these pages (for the record). Estimate =

Worldwide Collection - Volume 8 Spain and Colonies. If you enjoy deciphering this country’s early issues, including differentiating printings and forgeries this mounted collection will be for you. Or, on the other hand, if you are looking for a good "seed" collection of Spanish issues, including back of the book, from 1852 to 1970, this will be an excellent staring point. The Queen Isabella II and King Alfonso XII issues have been collected for obvious shade or printing differences, with many selected for having attractive cancels. We noted a mint, Never Hinged set of the 1928 semi-postal issue (Scott US$110.00) and a page of civil war-era local issues. The colonies are present, but a bit thin, with some Morocco, Sahara, Guinea, Rio Muni. Although mostly non-colonial era, there is some good coverage of Philippines starting with Spanish and American era issues and then stronger from the 1930’s-70’s. Expect some mixed condition for this era of material, but undoubtedly an interesting grouping. About 1400 stamps, all mounted within a Scott International binder (with a bit of hinge and edge wear).

Worldwide Collection - Volume 9 Europe. "Albania" to "Croatia" in Scott International album with pages up to 1982. While many countries are present, there is some extensive Austria starting right from the earliest issues, with a number of nice cancels and a couple of fantastic covers (which include B106-B109 and B138-B141 on non-FDCs, cataloguing $220.00), continuing on to heavy back of the book coverage. There is some decent coverage from Bulgaria and Croatia. A mix of mint and used. When there is duplication, it is usually because of both mint and used being represented, or there being a better cancel, perforation difference, etc. Much of the material is common, with lots of short sets, but there are better individual stamps of up to $25.00 catalogue found throughout.

Worldwide Collection - Volume 21 Scandinavia. Classic-heavy Nordic mounted collection of around 3000 mint and used stamps, with interesting additions such as cancels, varieties and even a few covers here and there. Includes Greenland (125 stamps), Finland (750 stamps) starting in 1875, with perforation and shades to keep you busy, plus some "back of the book" and Iceland (250 stamps) including various printings and overprints. There is a good offering of Norway (750 stamps) and Sweden (1130 stamps), with the Swedish material including a shade study of Oscar II issues (owner’s catalogue $600.00) and a dizzying group of town cancels. Overall, the appearance of the stamps is excellent, but expect some faults here and there. The collection thins out in the 1970’s and there isn’t much after 1984. Everywhere you look there is interesting material. (See Denmark for the Danish portion of this collection). Estimate =

Includes a few 1870's covers, followed by some "Peace and Commerce" and "Sower" issues, including a wide range of cover sizes, and styles of the black bands that define these covers. Noted a couple of military free franks from WWI. Most are domestic usages, but there is a 1906 usage to Egypt and three 1920’s free mail covers from French Morocco back to France.

The largest portion of the lot is about 50 covers, with strength in Edward VII and GeoV showing a wide range of envelopes, including one from a WWI field post office.

Most of the covers have mourning bands around the envelope, but a small number have stamps with the bands as part of the stamp (only). Besides being a fascinating area of postal history, a few of the covers were censored along the way and a couple are postage due or express. Only a few are philatelic examples noted, as to be expected as this was real correspondence! There are several postcards with cemetery (including for pets) or mourning cards for Royalty/Pope. Finally, there is a group of about 40 very modern (post-1990) and mostly oversized mourning covers mostly from Western Europe, many with the contents.
