Algeria #21, 22 Full Sheets. A trio of large multiples including full sheets of 100 of both the 45c and 50c, plus a partial sheet of 50 of the 50c value, all overprint issues from the 1924-1926 series (overprinted on French stamps). Of particular issue is the sheet format, which gives both gutter-pairs and inter-pane plate numbers. An eye-catching group, all with clean Never Hinged gum, but we did note several spots of separation on the sheets (still holding together well for near 100 years old). Catalogued as single stamps only, with no premium given for the sheets / gutter pairs, plate numbers etc. 2024 Scott US$415.00 =

Andorra - French Administration. The balance of a dealer’s holding that we have been selling off over the past year. This was partially in the process of being worked, and we are offering it as-received. There is a 16-page stockbook with a group of mint postage dues, a courier folder with some circa 1992 "new issues" still in their original glassines. There is an assortment of about 100 unaddressed, cacheted first day covers circa 1963-1972, a small box contains a couple hundred "102" cards with a stock identified by Scott and Michel (ignore the pricing) with mostly mint issues up to the early 2000’s. Finally, there is a double-sided stockpage with a wide range of mint issues and even a deluxe proof of the 18fr (#122). Lots of duplication here. Expect some of the earlier material to be Hinged, otherwise condition is very clean. Estimate =

Almost all with private cachets, and many are unaddressed, such as the sterling "Explorers" set with singles up to the £2 King (our old Seven Seas listed this at A$200.00), the 5/- Cattle on cream paper and a number of Australian Antarctic Territory issues. Very attractive cachets, with little duplication (some duplicates are because of different cachets). Estimate =

Austria - Tirol Parcel Control stamps issued between 1919-1921, as a method to control the export of parcels with goods, which was temporarily forbidden after the Great War. The Tyrolean government ordered these labels to use the small labels for postal parcels and the larger ones for railway parcels. These are not listed in Scott and are considered locals. This wholesale lot of about 30 panes/large blocks/multiples (with 25 - 50 stamps in a complete pane - probably 1000 stamps in total). Includes both designs, in mint, cancelled to order and with revaluations. The mint sheet file that houses them is done, and some of the panes are adhered to each other, others to the file. Some appear that they will come clean fairly easily, others will require soaking. A terrific study opportunity. Estimate =

Bermuda #1/456. Mounted mint and used collection from Queen Victoria up to 1980. Starts off with some assorted stamps, including a couple of attractive blocks with plate number. The King George V has a hit and miss group of common and better singles. The collection gets more complete in the King George VI era, with a few nice used keyplates. The Elizabethan era often has a mint set, followed by a used set on the following page, until about 1976 when the issues are typically mint only (including a couple of souvenir sheets). Overall condition is excellent. The little duplication is probably due to possible shade differences. Mint issues are in black mounts and are never hinged after 1970. Better singles include #125, #125a, #127a (all used) and #162 (both mint and used). Individual catalogue values up to $60.00 a stamp. All in a pair of red Rapkin springback binders.

Stanley Gibbons lists more shades than Scott, we have counted at the lowest values only. A couple of the values are Never Hinged, with the rest being Hinged which range from light to small hinge remnants, which in no way detracts for the attractiveness and freshness of these great stamps. 2023 Scott US$443.75 =

British Caribbean - Part 1: Amongst the most popular groupings that have come from this collector. He loved the stamps and Islands of the Caribbean (and British Honduras/Belize) and bought almost everything he could get his hands on, and then set them aside. Includes purchases from auction houses, dealers and the local post offices, there is value in this chaos. The Belize and British Honduras material includes used classics to modern mint (with great topical interest such as birds and butterflies, and some large blocks and panes of mint). There is also Antigua (with and without Barbuda), some very nice Montserrat, British Virgin Island, St. Kitts and Nevis, Cayman Islands and a few multi-colony assortments. There is an attractive group of King George V issues of Turks & Caicos Islands, still on its original auction card. Barbados is represented with blocks of the 1995 WWII anniversary issue (planes). There is a mounted collection of Anguilla and another group from the Bahamas. Outstanding! Estimate =

He loved the stamps and Islands of the Caribbean (plus British Honduras/Belize and Bermuda) and bought almost everything he could get his hands on, and then set them aside. Includes purchases from auction houses, dealers and the local post offices. Noted mint Bermuda (couple of mint KGVI "Keystones" and some early QEII). There is a nice group of earlier Turks and Caicos Islands, and some mid-1980’s Antigua and Barbuda, and some earlier St. Kitts-Nevis, and the QV-KGV Antigua is quite worthwhile. There is a small group of complete booklets, a bundle of mint 1c sheets from British Honduras overprinted for "Hurricane Hattie", plus a bit of Anguilla. No lot of this type from this collection would be complete without a healthy amount of British Honduras and Belize, and this lot does not disappoint. Estimate =

British Commonwealth - A fascinating mix of collections and retired dealer stock, filling a bankers box. Starting with a small box of a "bit of everything" on "102" cards / glassine envelopes, etc. with a very nice assortment of dealer material, that appears to have been priced in the 1980’s with lots of items in the $10.00-$20.00 range. This is followed by a pair of battered Scott Specialty albums containing an array of mint and used early Elizabethan sets, partial sets and singles. There is then a couple of bundles of loose album pages or manila stock pages with similar material. We noted a small "sampler" springback, with a couple of stamps from each colony in the British Empire (not all common stamps, includes a used Bluenose). Finally, there is a stock of used South Africa and a handful of envelopes with wholesale quantities of Malaysian stamps. A hunter’s paradise. Estimate =

The most intriguing piece may be the complete Australia 1927 opening of Parliament booklet – one pane is never hinged, the other has multiple first day cancels. There is also solid material including souvenir sheets, gutter pairs, topical interest. We noted some nice British and Isles, with some very nicely used larger, modern, items, as well as nice material from the Pacific, Africa, Caribbean, etc. Meticulously catalogued by the owner. 2023 Scott US$1156.35 =

While there are no complete sets or particularly high catalogue value singles here, there are a large number of Never Hinged stamps, many in multiples, valued as Hinged only. An amazingly fresh lot, all carefully organized on manila stock sheets with individual countries and catalogue value subtotals listed on a hand-written inventory sheet. Unchecked for varieties.

British Honduras #B1-B5. Registered cover / OHMS envelope sent to Toronto with a complete set of the only semi-postal series issued by British Honduras. These overprinted stamps raised funds to provide relief for the city of Belize which was levelled by a hurricane. The stamps are hard enough to find used, with a Scott catalogue value of US$112.50. However, Stanley Gibbons catalogues them with a price of £ 110.00 with a premium of "at least 10x" for usage on cover, which would bring this to a nearly $1500.00 cover. A bit of natural acidity on the reverse, does not affect the appearance. Estimate =

British South Africa Company/Rhodesia #43-49. A lovely, mint Hinged array of the 1896 Matabele Rebellion Provisionals overprinted on Cape of Good Hope. This is a compete run from ½p to 1/, with extras and includes a very interesting horizontal shift on one ½p resulting in a split overprint (counted as regular in the cat. value). Cut off from postal authorities in Salisbury by the Rebellion, the Bulawayo post office ordered these overprints from the Cape, which it still had communication, to avoid running out of supply. They were used in Bulawayo during the uprising and then later elsewhere. The overprint plate had six different clichés; the consignor has not checked for these, but no doubt several clichés are present here. 12 stamps in total, generally Fine to Very Fine (with one rounded corner on one 4p noted for the record).

Canada #15/321 plus Back of the Book. You have to admire a collector who put’s the "back of the book" material at the front of their album. This used collection is partly collection, partly accumulation. The Airmail and Special Delivery issues are complete and often come with multiples. Returning to the regular issues, the Queen Victoria is spotty, but noted 8c Leaf, 5c Jubilee and QV numerals with 8c and 10c. The EdwardVII issue goes to 20c as does the 1908 Quebec issue (missing the 10c). Noted a Bluenose, and all the dollar values to 1951. A number of Western cancels were seen. All in a green Rapkin springback binder.

We noted lots of medium to higher denominated values throughout. Thousands of stamps. Besides the stamps, this would make a good organizing system to integrate your existing Canadian duplicates.

Both blocks have been cancelled "PAID" and (on both front and back) "FS".

Although at first glance these appear to be the same, the 1932 cover actually bears #O8-165 in position "3" (inverted) as apposed to the other 3 stamps which are all position one. Unitrade offers a 25% premium for this position 3, but does not attempt to value these on covers.

Canada - A well researched study of the 5c 1859 Beaver "Cents" issue, which includes 37 stamps and 1 cover, neatly arranged to identify re-entries and plate flaws on collector created pages and one black stockcard.

There is a stockpage with an assortment of not-often-seen 1930’s plate blocks, and another with Coronation and Royal Visit "cinderellas". There is a mint collection celebrating "Confederation" another with the "Trees" issues of the late 1970’s and a third exhibit for BC’s Centennial of 1971 (includes some used stamps).

Both complete with MNH stamps in collector added mounts. The 1974 year set is the "unpunched" version, while the 1975 is the "punched" version, having received the 3-hole punch (as listed in the catalogue).

Canada - Banker’s box of chaotic consignment remnants. The best (or certainly most interesting) is the bundle of loose album pages and stockcards, with a significant accumulation of "red" postage dues and the last "purple dues", with minimal identification and organization. There are 6 stockbooks of various brands and sizes, with used wholesale material (the books have solid retail value and are in pretty good shape).

Canada - Banker’s box packed with a massive (mostly) used wholesale lot, mostly sorted by Scott number in envelopes. Seemingly from as many as four different collectors based on the packaging. The stamps run from the Victorian era up to about 2005. Almost every inch of this box is filled. A quick glance indicates that most of the stamps are used, with up to a couple hundred of a type. There is some cancel potential. There is a bit of mint (mostly in the 5c-30c era) mixed in with the used. Not surprisingly, most of the stamps are common, but we did note some better like 1c-15c Jubilees (mint, no gum) a couple of used Bluenoses, etc. Both volume and value here to make for a worthwhile sort.

Canada - Bankers box containing the balance of a consignment of 20th century material. An interesting assembly that will have several areas of appeal to the collector. There is an attempt at creating a specialized Centennial collection, including three sheets (6c orange, 2x 8c black), a stockcard of mint 1930’s issues, mint corner blocks from the 5c era, a near-new "Davo II" hingeless album with pages 1971-1993 (the slipcover has a bit of minor damage), a very damaged volume IV of the "History of Canada" gold foil cacheted first day covers (binder and slipcover have seen better days, but the 22 panels are doing just fine, original cost over $200.00), a small stockbook with used Canada (and some provinces), and a Minkus album with 590 stamps. To complete the oddness of this lot, there is a small Fleetwood collection called "The birds and flowers of Canada" which refers to the cachet, but the stamp used is the 14c Peace Tower. Estimate =

Other material includes some mint booklet panes, 2 volumes of the Story of Canada with gold foil cacheted FDCs (the original retail of these was about $700.00). Plus some 1970’s-80’s Canada Post products and a couple of bundles of unprocessed "102" cards, and even a nice batch of mint early QEII "G" stamps and blocks.

Canada - Enormous 68 litre "Rubbermaid" container stuffed with kiloware spread over about 30 years. The -majority appears to be from the late-Centennial to early Caricature period which was collected from a medical building in Victoria and then never looked at (probably because the volume could have seemed overwhelming to a working doctor). There is also a scattering of material into the 1990’s, noting the occasional higher value. There is a bit of off-paper and a touch of material from a few other countries. This material is completely unchecked for tagging or printing varieties, and there are some hand cancels to be found. Untouched holdings of this size are getting harder to find. Estimate =

Going top to bottom, there is a handful of stock pages with dealer’s stock including the Quebec issue and 1920’s issues and some album pages with some used material. There is an interesting study of used coils of most era’s including multiples, miscut, line pairs, etc. A large shoebox is filled with bundleware most 1960’s, but back to the 1930’s. A 1994 year set has the stamps already in the mounts.

Canada - Part 1: Big Bonkers Bonanza in bag and binders! A leftover lot from an extensive collection, from a collector who liked to buy but has now left it for you to unpack. To say this lot is varied is an understatement. There is a group of manila stockpages with used wholesales stock where we noted 7 used copies of the 50c KEVII, some mint Canada including large blocks of the 3c Cartier and 1927 3c Confederation plus some blocks of King George V to early Elizabethan. There are 9 copies of the unissued $1.00 Labrador (Newfoundland) Cinderella. Used wholesale quantities of better 1930’s-40’s issues (including CE1-CE3) are still in their original packs. Noted about $20.00 in modern face value. If that isn’t odd enough for you, there is a large envelope sent from Ottawa to BC with its original contents (but no letter) with what appear to be the return of several students’ original hand-drawn submissions for possible stamp designs - the Muskox is particularly fascinating, as the stamp wasn’t issued for another 4 years!

There is a bundle of mint "red" postage dues, and a baggie of used "purple" dues. The box is cushioned with two Ziploc bags filled with 1960’s CDS cancels on stamp and piece.

Includes CAPEX 96' Ashton Potter card, CAPEX 87' Palmares, 1994 Year of the Family letter writing kit (x2), 1976 Olympics presentation books (x2), Legendary Creature packs (McDonald's restaurant promotion) and numerous other Unitrade listed thematic collections.

The balance consists of used, sorted (to some extent), wholesale material (there are at least four sources here). We noted envelopes back to Edward VII, but most will be 20th century Elizabethan.

Canada Cancels - Bankers box hoard of modern town cancels on stamp/piece. At least a couple of thousand different cancels from across Canada (strength with British Columbia). Includes 4 boxes of individual glassines, identified and sorted in Post Office Computer Organization Number (POCON) cancels - mostly 2000-2010 (a difficult era to get handstamps), but with some earlier. There is also a number of stock and looseleaf pages, with mounted or sorted BC cancels - this time going back to the Admiral era, finishing with some sorted and duplicates on envelopes that the collector never got around to sorting.

Group of 40 choice BC CDS cancels, almost all George VI dated 1938 / 1939 on small cut square / piece, as collected as the time by a collector in Victoria, not having seen another collector's eyes since the 1950's.

Some of the better Post Office include Telegraph Cove, Wildwood Heights, Winter Harbour, Rounds, Arrow Park, Arrow Creek, Charlie Lake, Minto Mine, Paldi, Dunster, James Island and Wingdam.

Canada Cancels - NWT Northwest Territories Postmarks. Approximately 4 pounds of primarily NWT postmarks from the late 1980's early 1990's on stamps on paper, cut from large envelopes or parcels in box. Trimmed with the postmarks in mind, these present a well above average offering of postmarks of the period, but expect some heavy duplication as there are several hundred pieces here at least (and there are not that many Post Offices in the NWT!). Also included in the box is a baggie of Saskatchewan or Alberta postmarks from the same period. Besides the wealth of postmarks are the high-value frankings, these are from a very interesting period for Canadian definitive stamps which include many changes in paper, perforation and printers (especially in the mid-value "mammal" series). Collected for postmarks, unchecked for potential stamp varieties. Estimate =

Canada Cancels - Over 140 home-made collector pages with stamps on / off paper hinged on the page, each selected for postmarks from across the country. A haphazard array, that seems to be organized by province on the page, but not much beyond that. Everything from QV to QEII with a wide array of postmarks noted (split rings, CDS, machine, POCON, MOON etc). A wild ride of postmarks, but should prove rewarding as we estimate there must be 1500+ postmarks here, with strength in NS, ONT and Alberta (but with smatterings of other provinces too). Estimate =

Canada Cancels - Town cancel collection up to about 1990, but this is not your ordinary grouping. A 32-page stockbook with lots of Small Queens and there are more Western cancels than you would expect. This is at the point where an accumulation was becoming a serious collection, with lots of better (noted a Wells Fargo Victoria oval cancel, Toronto Street post office cancels on Map stamps and early small-town BC and Territorial-era Alberta). Even amongst the modern material is an Edmonton Emergency cancel. Most are identified, but with no indication of rarity. Split rings, CDS, roller and rubber cancels to be found here. Estimate =

The postal cards are mostly used, with lots of interesting printing on back, with a few banking notices and lots of 1940’s "Speaker" announcements for various business associations. These can be very popular for online sales because of the speaker (we noted one with Anthony Eden) and the topic.

Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland - Exciting balance of a collection on a range of album pages and stockcards. Mostly 20th century and mostly mint. This material was collected with a specialist’s eye, so pay close attention when going through the pictures (some of the material uses very old catalogue numbers that no longer exist). In chronological order, there is a couple of 12c Queen Victoria, ten Newfoundland dogs, a couple of the 1897 Royal Family sets, a smattering of the "John Guy" issue and a nice 6c Francis Bacon (#92). We noted 7 values from the Trail of the Caribou issue, a nearly missing bar on overprint #130, the 1932 Pictorial set (note: a couple are noted as having inverted watermarks, but we disagree) and a mint copy of #224. There are three sets of the 1935 Silver Jubilee and a couple of sets of the "Long Coronation" (look for perforation varieties), most of two sets of the re-issued definitives of 1941 and a bit of airmail and postage dues. Overall condition is above average, with mint stamps with no gum and significantly damaged stamps are inverted. Significant catalogue value and potential here. Estimate =

Nicely laid out on quadrilled pages with a combination of typed and handwritten notes, which will help you critically assess some of the potentially better issues here.

France - Modern Collection. A seldom seen (mostly) 21st century French collection in three albums with Minkus pages (starting in 1996 and runs to 2013). Includes a mix of mostly used stamps (the occasional stamp or souvenir sheet/booklet pane is mint). A bit hit or miss, but if a set was started, it is often complete, but there are small gaps throughout. Some of the used are undoubtedly philatelically inspired, but this is a high catalogue value era, with sets and souvenir sheets often cataloguing $5.00 - $15.00 each. The final album includes "back of the book", such as officials and postage due (but no semi-postals), with a touch of material from the "colonies" which goes back into the early 20th century. About 1500 stamps, with overall condition being excellent. One binder is quite damaged, but the other two "old-school" Minkus binders are okay (one still has its original dust-jacket). Estimate =

Germany - Balance of a consignment in a banker’s box. The bottom half of the box is lined with WWII-era sheet wrappers that would have protected a bundle of sheets while it went from the printer to the Post Office. There is some variety here, but duplication is to be expected - and they weren’t opened with an eye to future stamp collectors. There is also a Schaubek album with pages from 1924-1957 with an assortment of mint and used 3rd Reich erea and post-war issues. The nice black stockbook holds no gum blocks. A binder holds manila pages with Berlin, DDR and GDR wholesale used issues to about 1970. A large cigar tin holds some older "new issues" and a couple of coil(?) rolls circa WWII.

Great Britain - A fascinating clutch of 150 First Day Covers, show / event covers and commercial covers, with some postal stationery from Great Britain, Guernsey and Jersey. Starts with a (damaged) "Penny Black" on a large cover fragment from January 1841 and four pre-#33 "Penny Red" covers. There is a group of commercial and first day covers of the Guernsey occupation issues, the British first day covers are generally cacheted, with some potentially better issued between the 1953 Coronation and the early 1970’s. Noted a £5 Machin and some nice commemorative cancels. Perhaps the most intriguing item is a £5 Traveler’s Check from 1922 for the Bank of Montreal, London with both Canadian and British revenue stamps. Didn’t see anything after 1980. Estimate =

Great Britain - Bankers box containing an assortment of dealer’s stock, albums, loose album pages with a mix of dealer cards, glassines etc. There is a wide range of material here, with about half the box being mostly used Elizabethan material mounted on (frankly weird) homemade albums, but the volume from the late 1980’s has lots of mint sets that will have a face value that adds up. There are a couple of stockbooks with more traditional accumulations back to the Victorian era (with both better cataloguing singles and lots of readable cancels). We noted a smattering of complete booklets and some assorted panes and even a Stanley Gibbons album with a collection of "Isle of Man" up to the late 1980’s. Perfect for building a collection, circuit books or a dealer stock. Estimate =

Great Britain, Guernsey and Jersey - Five identical dark blue Rapkin "Excellent" springback binders, in very nice condition host a mostly Elizabethan era collection. The British material is in three albums, two having mint material to 1978, with a bit earlier including a couple of Queen Victoria issues, blocks of the 1935 Silver Jubilee, but then with a good run of basic issues (no phosphors or graphites). The third binder is used material. The Guernsey and Jersey collections are fairly complete, including postage dues, from #1 to about 1980, with pages at the back for a sparser collection of postally used material. The mint stamps throughout are in black mounts but expect pre-1970 stamps to be hinged. Bonus material is a small stockbook with some nice QEII "Wilding" issues with multiples and a big handful of envelopes sorted with used traders including about 100 "Penny Reds" through King George V (noting some Seahorses) and a couple of glassines with complete booklets from Guernsey and Jersey.

Hong Kong - An Elizabethan Extravaganza in Two Stock Books. A large collection of the 1954, 1962, 1973, 1982 and 1987 definitive issues, both mint and used. Unchecked for shades, perfs, papers or watermark varieties. Many pairs, blocks and multiples. While most of this collection is used, we note a complete mint run of the 1954 issue (cat. US$200.00) plus several additional shades and many other mint values up to and including top denominations. Some potential for cancellation interest. An excellent lot for the specialist (or aspiring specialist) of this increasingly popular collecting area. Rough counting is 1,200 stamps, neatly laid out in the two volumes.

Just over 2,000 stamps (where there is a mint copy in a black mount, there is often a used copy hinged underneath (most of which aren’t visible). Includes about 30 souvenir sheets and some booklets. Mounted on homemade pages and ordered by Scott. There is a bit of pre-war, going back to the 19th century and a good range of semi-postals, airmails and a few officials. Lots of $5.00-$20.00 singles and sets throughout and the overall the condition looks great.

It’s hard to get a sense of what is here, but we noticed both regular issue and "back of the book", including from the "States".

Manchukuo #1/131. "Postage Stamps of Manchuoukuo" album published in 1940 by the Manchoukuo Postal Society (in English!). Terrific for the stamps, or a contemporary view of the postal service of Japanese-occupied Manchuria. The album was not likely intended to be used as a stamp album, as the stamps are depicted in full colour (no small achievement during the Second World War). The owner added stamps in black mounts right over top of the pictures, but also added additional stamps (usually a used companion) on the page. There are also Scott numbers and values added in pencil throughout. There are some better stamps here such as the first issue, which is mint except for #13 (used). The second issue is complete, but the top value is used and the scarce 15 fen stamp is a space filler. The third issue is mostly used and there are also commemoratives, overprints, airmail, etc. A very good run of a couple of mint (Hinged) and used stamps up to 1939, not missing much.

Netherlands and Colonies - Actually, this is mostly from the Colonies, from many sources which produced this crazy assortment of material. Collections, stockcards, philatelic folders, all from a collector who was interested in buying, but not so much in organizing. Much of this material is as it was purchased, at least 10 years ago. We noted Netherlands (including a small postage due study), Suriname, Curacao, New Guinea, Antilles, and Netherlands Indies. There is a mostly used, mounted, collection that catalogued $1400.00 back in 2015. Because the collections were not processed, overlapping purchases were inevitably made, so expect some light duplication.

New Zealand #9f/41. Great study lot of 15 Chalons. Two are imperforate including 9f (thin) and 24 (corner trimmed). The rest are from the 1864-1871 set including shades, various states of plate wear and denominations up to 1/-. A couple of the stamps appear to be mint, as they have no cancels (but no original gum), so counted as used. There are a couple of obvious faults, such as a straight edge on a 1p orange, but these stamps are in typical condition for this issue, so expect some minor faults (including a minor thin here or there).

Papua #20/113, C5-C9. All mint and mostly pristine Never Hinged duplicated stock of 187 stamps, 1907 to 1938 period issues. Mainly "Lakatoia" designs, including overprinted engraved types and a range of lithographed issues. A smattering of commemoratives and air mails round out the offering. All laid out on manila stock sheets with accompanying catalogue notes in pencil. Unchecked for any plate varieties. All valued as mint Hinged, so there’s a very decent upside if revalued by an Australian specialized catalogue that lists prices for Never Hinged material. 2024 Scott US$1,668.60 =

Poland #11/2682 plus Back of the Book. An emerging specialized collection in six 3-ring binders, within a U-Hual box. Attractive homemade pages on thin card, with every stamp in a black mark often with light pencil markings indicating perforation/shade, etc. A mix of mint and used. Coverage is a bit inconsistent, heavy in places with lots of different printings, light in other areas (such as the 1980’s). The "back of the book" includes semi-postals, air mails, postage dues and General Government issues. No souvenir sheets seen. A very easy collection to build on. Estimate =

Portugal and Colonies - From a voracious buyer, this accumulation is from a large collection that we have been breaking up over the past couple of years. However, once purchased (at auction, bidboards and from dealers) very little of it was meaningfully broken down. Much of the material was still in its original packaging. However, this collector had a good eye for interesting material. This pile includes stamps from Portugal, Timor, Azores, Macau, Mozambique, with a bit of Angola, Portuguese India. Buying from many different sources, there is a mix of mint and used, mostly 20th century material, with the occasional souvenir sheet. Album and stockpages, cards, glassines. Estimate =

Saint Lucia #57/413 plus postage dues. Part 1: Stunning collection of mint (and some used) St. Lucia starting with a single page of King Edward VII and King George V definitives, most with edge selvage and plate numbers, supplemented with a couple of multiples. Next up is the 1935 Silver Jubilee (2 mint sets and a top margin block of the 1/2d). The GeoV set of 1936 includes 2 mint and 1 used copy of the 10/- #106 (catalogues $220.00), George VI definitives include multiples and plate numbers and Elizabethan issues are very complete with overprints, duplicates and multiples. After 1967 everything looks to be Never Hinged, but up to that point, most of the stamps are extremely Lightly Hinged. There are a couple of places where the collector appeared to start to dabble in some of the more specialized areas of these issues, but there is lots to explore here. Estimate =

There are a number of cacheted First Day Covers, a few year sets, glassines with up to blocks of 10, folders, brochures and a few non-FDC covers.

There is a very complete run of about 1300 first day covers (ending around 1983) neatly sorted by office and then chronologically. Most are unaddressed with an ArtCraft cachet, including the "Flag" issues (up to 20c - with 16 larger FDCs with full panes of 16) and air mail issues. Where there is duplication, it is because there is a single on one cover and a block on another. The annual folders run up to 1991, with only a couple missing. There are at least 50 presentation cards, some mint, some with stamp with a first day cancel (includes some duplication), and a small stockbook with a mint collection back to the first New York issue.

All identified and housed on old "American Philatelic Brokerages" (a former well-known old-time Tucson AZ dealer, dealing mostly in postal history) sales sheets. Most of the catalogue value is in the part perf #R66b.

USA - Collections, duplicate stock and "postage" completely fill this banker’s box with material from the 1860’s to about 1986. Starting with a trio of albums, two are "All American" pages, the first has a predominantly mint collection of 20th century including a bit of better from the 1920’s-1930’s, the second other goes further back and is mostly used and the third album is still on Minkus pages but is much larger, so the collector put it in a "Baltic" binder. The trio of albums is followed by a much more complete collection, with a mix of mint and used throughout including a couple of "Black Jacks" and other little gems here and there followed by modern including mint which adds up in face value quickly. The remainder includes a 16-page Filek stockbook, a handful of manila stockpages with collector’s duplicates, a baggie of 8c-era mint stamps, a 29c sheet of state Wildflowers and another baggie of early to mid-20th century cut squares.

USA - Entropy-loving postage lot, in three rough categories. All mint, mostly Never Hinged to add to your collection, or to mail packages south of our border. Starting with the best, there is a number of higher denomination stamps with face values to $14.00 each (these account for over half the total face value of the lot). The second batch is multiples, booklets, souvenir sheets etc from the 25c-33c era (with some "first class" rates). And the balance is handfuls of mostly 3c-15c, with almost no organization. There is a bit of material that wasn’t counted (e.g. "makeup rate stamps" and non-profit rates). You will have some sorting ahead of you. Very conservatively counted for the usable face value only.

USA - Errors, freaks and oddities by the hundred! This holding of misperfs, miscuts, ink smears, colour shifts (which make the stamps look fuzzy), "gutter snipes", plus what we believe are tagging or paper varieties has some very eye-catching items as well as some that need research (as the collector didn’t leave notes about some of the varieties). A number have been laid out in a stockbook (which photograph well), but there is a secondary larger pile of duplicates and items that by their packaging and jumbled nature won’t photograph well. About 95% are mint Never Hinged, with the overall condition being well above avergae. Needless to say, this will help add some appeal to any US collection or lend itself well to be broken apart by the online or show dealer. We estimate the original owner probably paid over US$2,000 for this material. Estimate =

Condition is excellent, and almost everything appears to be Never Hinged. Typically, up to about a dozen or so copies of a stamp.

Worldwide - Arthur Szyk Album Frontispiece Septet. Every "old school" Canadian stamp collector knows of Kasimir Bileski, the Winnipeg based stamp dealer and promoter. Famous for acquiring, promoting and marketing newly discovered Canadian errors and varieties, his philatelic career, begun in the 1920s, ran well into the 1990s. In the 1940s & 1950s Bileski "teamed up" with various artists, including Arthur Szyk, famous for Liberian stamp designs and beautifully designed country album title page frontispieces. This particular lot includes archivally fresh full colour "First Edition" frontispieces for Poland, USSR, Israel, Great Britain, Canada, China and Switzerland.

Worldwide - Bankers Box with an identity crisis. Not sure if this is a supplies lot or an assembly of Germany, Canada, Great Britain and Singapore stamps. The supplies part is over 150 black Vario double-sided stock pages (anywhere from 1 to 8 pocket) plus another 15 clear stockpages and 10 Hagner single sided stock pages, including two older blue Lighthouse three-ring bingers. These supplies alone would cost you about $350.00 to replace, and they are in pretty good condition. This collector organized most of their holding in order of acquisition. The strongest is 1990’s Germany, lots of mint, but some used, including semi-postals and lots of souvenir sheets, with some covers and postcards interspersed throughout. The British and Singaporean material is similar (not as extensive), but still worthwhile. The Canada is mostly used from the Centennial era into the early 1970’s. Whether you consider this a supply lot or stamp hoard, there is lots of value here. Estimate =

Worldwide - Box full of British Royal Family stamps, souvenir sheets and cachet first day covers. Eight albums celebrating the 1977-1978 Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee (ascension and Coronation) , the 1981 Wedding of Charles and Di (plus their one year anniversary), the Queen’s 60th birthday and the Queen Mum’s 85th birthday. Stamped collections include a White Ace album (the stamps are not 100% complete). The covers include products from Fleetwood and the Westminster Collector’s Society. The only loose material is a slim stationery box with a dealer’s stock of 1977 Silver Jubilee material, in glassine envelopes. We shudder to think about the original cost of these albums. We are estimating at less than 20 dollars a volume. Estimate =

Worldwide - British Commonwealth and United States home-made collection. Not your usual child’s pre-1935 scribbler. Highlights include Great Britain (Victorian and Edwardian era issues up to 2/6), Canada (a couple of damaged 10c mint Jubilees, QV numerals to 20c, KEVII to 50c, a mint "type A" lathe work block of 2c+1c War Tax (with some perf separation), GeoV with precancels, postmark interest and a couple of Bluenose issues. There is an appealing group of early Australia and States, including some revenue issues. The group finishes with some 20th century American, mostly cheaper but with a number of precancels noted. Plus, there are other bits and pieces not mentioned here (so take a good look at the photos to get a sense of the lot). Mostly used, and some condition issues. Perfect for the collector who is a bit of a gambler. The catalogue value here is enormous. Estimate =

Saw Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greenland, Hong Kong, Hungary and Iceland. All of which catalogues $1169.40. The Canada includes some nice mint King George V and KGVI, plus some more common used material (Unitrade $625.00). There is a bit of US higher values with no gum, and a couple of Great Britain First Day covers including the £10 Britannia and the Millenium souvenir sheet with a £5 coin (Stanley Gibbons £45.00).

Worldwide - Cinderellas, labels, local post, seals, etiquettes, reprints: A full file box with one man’s lifetime hoard of non-postal "stamps" (some could be considered "ephemera") which was acquired over a 40 year period, but with very little effort put into organizing. A fascinating mix of scarce material mixed in with more common TB seals. Strength is American and Canadian material but noted some European. Some are on cards, which has protected them. Broad categories include charity, strike/courier mail, event promotion and there is even a box with a wide range of mostly air mail etiquettes of many eras and many parts of the world. The hard part has been done (acquisition) and now the fun (sorting) can begin. Estimate =

Worldwide - Desktop A. We aren’t exaggerating when we say that these box lots of loose stamps are literally from sweeping off the top of a collector’s desk. We show this by what we removed from this lot: id cards, a calculator, a spark plug, keys, photos etc. It’s hard to believe that this collector was not a dealer, given the wide range of material that is here. Includes some 19th century items, more cinderellas/revenues and souvenir sheets than are normally seen in these types of lots. The number of different countries from which this material originates is amazing. On and off paper, lots of "102" cards and glassines. More used than mint, some duplication. Perfect for expanding your philatelic horizons. Filing (overfilling) a bankers box. Estimate =

Worldwide - Desktop B. From the same desk, but it must have included the drawers as well, or the desk must have been piled deep with stamps! Includes some 19th century items, a number of souvenir sheets. This apparently came from the "more organized" part of the desk, as there was some attempt to sort material (or the collector hadn’t got around to taking everything apart. The number of different countries from which this material originates is amazing - it’s hard to believe that this person wasn’t a dealer. On and off paper, lots of "102" cards and glassines.

Worldwide - Interesting balance of a consignment, with much better American material than we normally see (such as mint pre-1930’s better including up to the 30c and 50c Washington-Franklin), and some 19th century used that has potential (all in a circa 1960 "Coronet" album). There are a couple of worldwide albums, including a small format 1930 Stanley Gibbons "Improved" album, plus a couple of stockbooks (one being a 64-page Uni-Safe with a collection of recent WWII anniversary material from around the British Commonwealth). There is a small stockbook with some Netherlands and colonies, finishing off with some potential packed album pages, stockcards and loose material from all over, but notrf South Africa, Poland, Japan, Great Britain.

Worldwide - Many thousands of off-paper stamps filling a bankers box. These are the balance of an estate, basically where everything that isn’t sorted gets slid into the box. This means that there is material from all around the world, over many different eras, and with some better material mixed in with the common. There is a large ziplok bag filled with wholesale Hungary back to the early 20th century. Beyond that, there is a bit of organization in envelopes by stamp or country. This is the minority, as generally there is just randomness. Perfect to dump on the table when and disrupt the traditional eating area for a couple weeks. Estimate =

Worldwide - Old meets new in this consignment balance filling a U-Haul box. The old includes five binders with album pages, a couple dozen manila stockpages and 40 Lighthouse black stockpages with a diverse group of mainly older issues, over 10,000 stamps here (yes, somebody counted them!). There is an additional "Triumph" album (packed, but uncounted), plus the remnants of a mounted Spanish collection with pages up to 1966, including some of the interesting material of the early Franco period, plus a couple of small stockbooks with more material from Spain. The new is a couple of animal topical lots from the World Wildlife Fund, circa 1990, with one binder in slipcover filled with first day covers, the second is a tall album with display cards (looks like a FDC or maxi-card, but is uncancelled). As these were fundraisers, they had significant upfront cost. Estimate =

Worldwide - Part 1 of an 8 volume Scott International album collection. This section is a single volume covering United States plus "A" to "G" countries running up to 1939. The binder and the pages have been heavily loved, but you will be more interested in the contents. Significantly filled with more hits than misses amongst the countries here, for example from the "A" countries we noted Abyssinia, Armenia, Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Australia and Austria. Lots of Europe (and its colonies), there is a bit of Latin America and the China section should be checked out. Thousands of mostly used stamps here, perfect for the collector of "classics".

Worldwide - Part 2 of an 8 volume Scott International album collection. This single volume covers "H" to "Z" countries running up to 1939. Significantly filled with more hits than misses amongst the countries here, we noted better: Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Persia, Portugal (with many from its colonies), Romania, Thailand, Switzerland, but there are many other worthwhile smaller sections, such as Hong Kong, British Caribbean, Australian States, Jamaica, just to name a few. Thousands of stamps here, perfect for the collector of "classics". As the binder and the pages have been heavily loved, we have not considered it with its estimated value. Estimate =

Worldwide - Part 3 of an 8-volume Scott International album collection. Two volumes this time, covering the complete world for issues between 1940 to 1949. Honestly, almost all the stamps are in a single album, with a few thousand stamps from the World War II era, with the meat of the group being the King George VI issues from the British Commonwealth. Still more used than mint, but with a bit more mint appearing. Still strong in Europe and colonies, with scattered better, including some interesting China. The second "Part II" album was probably the original album for this era, as the pages only go up to 1946. Most of the stamps have been transferred over to the other book, but it will give you a few more stamps and a second "Part II" binder. Estimate =

Worldwide - Part 4, the last lot of an 8-volume Scott International album collection. This lot consists of four volumes, covering the complete world for issues between 1950 to 1965. Heavily populated albums, but from a time when used stamps are mostly common. However, three of the four albums are in good shape (one is a bit warped from poor storage), and there could be better items that we missed. There are no particular areas of strength, as there are so many stamps from so many countries. The estimate is less than what the binders would set you back, let alone the pages and all those stamps. Binders are labelled "Part III" to "Part VI", but the pages are to part V (and there may be some overlap in the pages). Estimate =

Worldwide - Philatelic Presentation Books. Group of 55 Delegate or VIP Presentation folders from a range of UPU or other international postal congresses 1950-1973. Out of about 55 folders, if there is any concentration, it would be India, Switzerland and Germany. Otherwise there are one or two each from Morocco, Nepal, Denmark, Bulgaria, Austria, United States, Israel, Spain, Vatican, Italy, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Ethiopia, Mexico, Panama, Dominica, Columbia and Venezuela. Some have loose stamps that have come out of their original spot - and we expect that a few (probably cheaper) stamps have fallen out. Not a huge concern as the folders are the difficult part to find. The two Centennial folders from Canada are heavily damaged (sadly), still some very difficult to find material here which will help round out your collection. Estimate =

Worldwide - Someone soaked so that you don’t have to. A pleasantly full box of what appears to be 99% off paper material, and only a small number of "102" cards or glassines. Tens of thousands of stamps here overwhelmingly mint, noted lots of Latin America, but a quick glance there is worthwhile material from Canada, United States, Great Britain and dozens of other countries.

Worldwide - Stamps, more stamps and even more stamps are overfilling this banker’s box. Some on paper, some off, some in glassines (often with different contents than what is indicated on the outside) and a few small stockcards. Another estate balance where everything that was left over and not mounted got (literally) scooped into this box, for a very patient person (or an entire stamp club) to work their way through. Mostly 20th century material, with pretty much something from everywhere. Used, some mint. A bit of topical or postmark potential. Some duplication is to be expected. Estimate =

Worldwide - The difference with this banker’s box that is filled with mostly loose, off-paper stamps, is that unlike most of other similar boxes, which are collector created, this one is dealer created. This box sat on the floor, at the end of his desk, and anything that he didn’t feel like dealing with went into the box. Because it was built up over the years, the density is particularly notable - this will take a substantial amount of time to go through, even once. Besides the usual wide range of material, we noted some Cinderella and "back of the book" and some souvenir sheets and sheetlets here. Lotted as received. Estimate =

Worldwide - This box of albums and stockbooks has been sitting for many years, so don’t expect to see many stamps issued after 1980. In no particular order, there is a 16-page stockbook with some Cyprus, Malta, Ireland and Great Britain, followed by a 32-page stockbook with Great Britain, Hong Kong and Canada. There are two early 20th century "Imperial" albums, one volume is "Foreign Countries", the other is worldwide "Envelopes and Wrappers", packed with many cut squares from all over (not all are mounted). There is a Minkus "Czechoslovakia" album but not a lot of pages. There is an older, but elegant, 64-page Minkus stockbook packed with stamps from across the world. There is a "ledger-style" folder with lots of mounted stamps, and a few loose album pages that includes some earlier GB (such as penny-reds) and early India. More used than mint, not a lot of duplication, but work will be required to tame this lot. Estimate = $150.00

Worldwide - Trust us. There is no way that any number of photos can capture the breadth of this lot, being the balance of a consignment. There are two worldwide albums, one an "International" album from 1920 with a couple of thousand "classics", the second being a 1960’s album that pales a bit in comparison. Continuing on with a large stationery box filled with stamps sorted by country or on approval pages (lots of Poland and Romania here), and a second box packed with glassine envelopes with a much wider range of country groupings. There is a battered stockbook with a used stock with lots of KGV-KGVI British Commonwealth issues, and its less organized twin. There is a "sampler" book with a few stamps from many different non-Commonwealth countries (circa 1952), and a few loose stock and album pages. The "sleeper" in the group may be a small brown box buried in the middle of all this with a couple of good-sized handfuls of dealer stock on "102" cards - probably priced in the 1980’s, but with an eclectic mix of items, including some potentially better European (as identified by Michel).

There is an older "pocketbook" album that someone had started to identify the better material, before abandoning the project. There are three battered full-sized and a couple of smaller format stockbooks.

The end of the box is packed with unmounted stamps, sorted by country in envelopes, and a handful of locally made approval sheets that look like they never saw service (very Netherlands heavy).

In the lot we noted: a collection of early United Nations First Day Covers and 1960 "Refugee Year" First Day Covers; a mounted collection of 1974 to 1979 USA First Day Covers in a special "Postal Commemorative Society" album; post-WWII Soviet and French Zone Germany collection on Minkus album pages; used Newfoundland in an old approval book; mint and used loose Canada and interesting worldwide (the used on and off paper); brown stock book packed with nicely organized used Denmark; green stock book packed with well organized used British Caribbean area stamps; sparsely populated Darnell Canada and Traveller albums; additional small stock books and loose rounds out the lot.

Worldwide - We didn’t want to fill this banker’s box much more, as the contents are starting to push back on anything new being added. This is another multi-source "on and off" paper lots, complete with country sorted envelopes, glassines that have rightfully become so popular in the auction. Many thousands of stamps here. Usually there is no theme to these lots, but we did see a small concentration of Israel, otherwise the 99 other countries that are likely represented here will just have to present themselves as you sort. Lots of treasures to be found, one item that made itself known, is a strip of 5 of the Great Britain £10 "Britannia" postally used on piece. There is a bit more on-paper than normally seen in these lots, but the majority of the stamps are off paper and "free flying".

Worldwide Ephemera - Autograph grouping featuring hollywood, politicians, soldiers and famous people. A significant stash many on "head shot" glossy photos, but a few on original documents (including first day covers(!), all obtained by a single collector from a single source about 10 years ago. Inevitably, some of these people are no longer with us. Many have a certificate of authenticity from the dealer. There was a tendency to lump items together or move them into different envelopes which are no longer correctly marked. Autographs from some easily recognizable names (and we can’t list them all as there are many), include Fred Astaire, Ray Bradley, Shirley Jones, Lauren Bacall, Paul Tibbets (pilot of the Enola Gay), Shirley Bassey, Aga Khan (1958), Vera Lynn, Madeleine Albright, Clarence Thomas, Martin Sheen, Jack Kevorkian, Bridgette Bardot, Pete Fountain, Helen Hayes, Enoch Powell, Maurice Chevalier, and there is a letter in Braille from Helen Keller (unsigned). A very American focus, with the exception of the politicians, which are often from Europe and Latin America. Many individually sleeved, with huge original cost. Estimate =

Worldwide Literature - Enticing assembly of 18 works of literature relating to "moving the mail by air" as compiled by a collector with attention to detail. Several of these works were not written with philatelists in-mind, so are much tougher to find for the aero-philatelist as they fall "outside the scope" of the usual philatelic literature circles (but are very much relevant to the study). The titles include "Over the Rockies with the Air Mail" (1927), Michel Zeppelin and Flugpost catalogue (2002), "Romance of the Flying Mail" (1933) and the large 927 page "Airmail Operations During World War II" by Thomas H. Boyle Jr. (1998). Too many good titles to list, so take a good look through the pictures. Estimate =

Worldwide Supplies - Diverse offering of 13 used stockbooks ranging from 16 to 64 pages, with a mix of black or white pages and several different colour covers. Many manufacturers here, such as Lighthouse, Uni-Safe, Alligator, Ryam(?) and Filex. Some are near new, a couple have edge or spine damage, but should be repairable and will still do the job in the meantime. The only "hitch" with these is that many still have their original holdings in them (mostly Europe or British Commonwealth), which you can look at as a bonus, or as a minor price to pay to get some nice stockbooks at well below retail.
