Mint, (mostly) used, ’Roos, King George V "Heads", multiples, officials (both overprint and perfin), airmails, postage dues, BCOF, and not much after 1955. Some varieties have been noted, and there are some nice cancels. A little bit musty, but that will all fade when the stamps are removed from the pages. Estimate =

Bahrain #408/716. Small collection of "Specimen" examples, including a number of sets and souvenir sheets issued 1993-2014. Often overlooked, this Middle Eastern country has generally bucked the philatelic trend with fewer than 5 issues per annum, of reasonable face value and using local themes. As they don’t need the money from philatelic sales, stamps are generally printed in quantities less than 100,000, souvenir sheets less than 10,000! One of the souvenir sheets was damaged in transit, and the #578a was unevenly folded, otherwise the condition is excellent. These examples were sent out to standing order collectors and can have significant asking prices online. A number of the thin card folders that they came in are included. Catalogued regular issue stamps. Total 2024 Scott US$445.05 =

Canada #14/756a plus Back of the Book. Any time we see a starter album with a note on the front that says: "Catalogue value $6438.00", we are naturally skeptical, but then we opened it up and value abounded. Starts with most of the "Cents" issues, and a nice-looking batch of Large and Small Queens. The Jubilees are complete to the 20c, with some "Leaf" and "Numeral" issues. There is a complete KEVII set (used) and a complete mint hinged set of 1908 Quebec.Tercentennary. From the Admirals to 1978, the collection is quite complete, and there is a smattering of airmail, special delivery and postage due issues. A mix of mint and used. Note: Condition is very mixed, with a few of the early issues having been trimmed. That having been said, based on the current Scott (converted to Canadian dollars), the catalogue value is probably not that far off.

Canada #O16/O37. Official "G" overprint used wholesale accumulation and study opportunity on King George VI and early QEII issues with quantities up to about 1500 of a type (didn’t see any #O25, O27 or O32). This group was assembled about 1975 and the collector was interested in variations in the overprint, including over and under inking and the position (or shifting) of the overprint. Sorted by issue with lots of "Peace" issues with an envelope of "Oil Wells", etc. There is a touch of OHMS overprints. Includes a few old boxes (e.g. candy) which ads to its appeal. Estimate =

Canada - A mostly mint holding of plate blocks, booklets, singles and event some sheets perfect for the collector of 1955-1984 Canada. Mixed among the common material is potential as the collector was interested in papers and tagging, but it never got too far. Noted an envelope filled with Centennial (values to $1.00) and Landscapes. There is a small handful of 1950's plate blocks (mostly never hinged), and there are more that are in "102" cards in a photo album. There is a mint sheet file with a few sheets and souvenir sheets, a manila stockbook has a range of 1970’s mint items (but also with a few earlier like a set of the 1935 Silver Jubilee). The complete booklets are strongest in the Centennial period and in the early 1980s (with some good face value here). There is a pair of 5c sheets of the 1970 Christmas, but sadly, with no gum. We conservatively estimate the face value of this lot at $150.00 and have estimated the value conservatively at that. Estimate =

Canada - Coil-stravaganza! A massive used accumulation of Admiral to the QEII "Wilding" issue filling an envelope box. The King George V issues are plentiful and mostly singles, but the strength is in the KGVI "War" issue (both perforations) - we noted one envelope of #279 with "53 pairs and 33 singles" which alone catalogues US$1180!). There is a bit of "Postage-Postes" and only a touch of Elizabethan material. Keeping with the theme of straight-edges is that there are some booklet stamps and a few pane-edged stamps included "for the record". Massive catalogue value and lots of research potential. Nicely sorted in the early 1970s, and untouched since. Estimate =

Canada - Collection with roughly 400 mint and or used stamps, ranging from 1859 to the 1930's, all in hingeless mounts on roughly 70 album pages housed in a binder. Just a few of the better items include Scott #s 20 (used); 51 used Small Queens including a 10c and both Widow Weeds, and mint 8c (x3, no gum) and mint 20c Widow Weed; 27 mint and or used Jubilees noting used 57 (x2), 59, 60, and continues with a mint and used set of Leaf issues. The collection continues with a used set of Edwards, mint and used sets of Quebecs, Admirals (including some coil singles and pairs), and partial mint and or used sets up to the Arch issues. A potentially high cataloguing collection for the used portion, with some used stamps cataloguing $20 to $50 and up, with the vast majority of mint stamps suffering from either no gum, heavy hinging or other gum issues, with overall condition ranging from fine to a bit better.

Canada - King George VI 4-hole OHMS perfin hoard, starting with a few Mufti issues, going strong through the "War" issue (values to 20c) and finishing with the "Peace" issue, noted about 30 copies of the 50c "Logging" and a couple of Air Mails. It appears that these were assembled in the 1960s-70s and are sorted by denomination with some attempts made to identify the orientation of the perfins. There is one to several hundred copies of each used stamp. This was before the two different 4-hole OHMS configurations were identified in catalogues, so another round of discovery awaits, including for missing perforations, etc. Fills a small cookie box.

Canada - Massive accumulation of over 100,000 used Canada, in two bankers boxes. For a lot of this size, this is a nicely organized lot with material in several stockbooks, manilla stock pages, or in bundles. The material ranges from the Small Queens up to the roughly the 1980s, with an estimation of roughly 30,000 stamps pre-1950, and over 70,000 stamps post-1950, including coil pairs and strips, blocks, back of the book material, precancels, and more. Just considering the early material, we note a range of postmark types including squared circles, CDS, duplex, split rings, including some socked on the nose town cancels, noting Small Queens, Quebecs, Edwards, Admirals, and several definitive and commemorative issues from the 1930s. The latter portion of the lot contains a few hundred bundles of several issues, appearing to be mostly from the 1960s onwards. A wonderful opportunity for postmark hunters, and unchecked for listed varieties, shades, paper types, etc. Just some of the early stamps catalogue from $3 to $10 each, with a few issues cataloguing much higher. Our photos show a number of pages of the early material with an overview. Should be worth our low estimate which is less than 1c a stamp. (and we don't make pennies anymore). Estimate =

Canada - Modern Post Office Souvenir Sheet "Packs". An all-different assortment of 13 Canada Post packs from the past ten years or so. These packages were used for the medium / large format souvenir sheets and miniature panes, with additional advertisement and information on the issue included. While the panes themselves are listed individually in Unitrade, we believe that the pack will likely be listed individually in the future as the push for collecting Canada Post products "as issued" is ever-growing. All issues are "P" (permanent) stamps, with the exception of the Star Trek souvenir sheet (which also features $2.50/$1.80/$1.20 values). Conservatively value for the total face value of the sheets.

The lot also includes a few souvenir packs and year sets noting the 2000 Millennium set, 1987, 1976, and 1974 annual collection in remarkable condition (Unitrade c.v. $250). Face value totals $1,068.00, with the "P" stamps counted at the time of purchase, and not at the current rate of $1.24 per stamp (so the face value is actually more).

Some of the envelopes were used as "paste-ons" for larger parcels, so a couple of higher rates (>$1.00) are present. A small number are from out of the province. Almost all are hand canceled and includes some early "Landscape" usages. Estimate =

Canada Covers - Mounted Centennnial-era registered cover collection in four 3-ring binders. These approximately 500 covers (and a number of uncounted parcel pieces) were all sent to the Alberta Health Service between 1968 and early 1974, and the order of mounting is unclear. This is a reminder that different collectors see material through different lenses. Organized around the time of mailing, this collector was fascinated by paper types, fluorescent levels and tagging, and made pencil notes on many to reflect that interest. Over 50 years later, we think that most collectors will be interested in the many rates and the now-obsolete post offices and/or cancelling devices. We noted more Southern Alberta (Red Deer and South, with lots of Calgary Sub offices) than from the North. A small number are from out of the province. Covers are a variety of sizes some with "Acknowledgement of Receipt" markings, odd frankings, almost all hand cancels - including some MOON cancels, and some early "Landscape" usages. Many of the covers were opened on three sides (as this was commercial mail). Estimate =

A must have for any first day cover collector, as these might be fairly scarce to attain elsewhere as were only made by a collector for his own purposes. Surely worth our low estimate. Estimate =

Great Britain #3/825. A Stanley Gibbons c.1980 4-ring album which is near its capacity, holding pages up to 1977 and housing a good little collection of mostly used stamps, starting with a hit or miss selection of Queen Victoria stamps, with denominations to 2/6 and catalogue values to $500.00 each. The King Edward VII issues include a complete basic definitive set. The King George V includes Seahorses up to 5/- and there is more complete than incomplete for the King George VI to mid-Elizabethan range (many of the 1970s issues are mint). Although collected by Gibbons, the collector went through and penciled in Scott numbers and catalogue values underneath each stamp (we checked a couple, and they seem accurate and relatively recent). The owner’s catalogue value was US$3779.35, which is likely a little low by today’s catalogue, but a couple of damaged items were counted that probably shouldn’t have been. On balance, it feels like a reasonable representation of the current catalogue value. Estimate =

Great Britain #4, 109. Pair of attractive Queen Victoria singles. Including a 2d "Tuppence Blue" 1-1/2 margin copy on piece with a socked on the nose black "Maltese Cross" cancel with the London office #12 (piece is creased, affecting the stamp) listed in Scott Classic. The other stamp is the 10/- high value from 1884, with a medium killer cancel (nicely clear on the Queen’s face), with nice perforations and reasonable centering. 2024 Scott US$1190.00 =

Great Britain #33. We see many plate studies of the popular "Penny Red" issue of 1864, but very infrequently do we see the final plate (#225), printed in 1879. This is the second scarcest plate number, and it is a clear impression, with a light "59" killer cancel on a clean stamp with intact perforations - position "J-S".

Great Britain, Regionals and Overseas Offices #33/668. This collection on quadrilled pages will have you swinging between "that’s terrific" to "that’s a shame" and every emotion in between. This collection runs between mid-Victorian issues to 1973, but with very little sense of order. There are a couple thousand mint and used stamps, but alas the album was poorly stored, leading to gum issues on the mint stamps. The first page is a perfect representation of this, with much of the QV "Jubilee" and KEVII definitive issues, but most have no gum and the ones that do have heavy hinge remnants. Don’t let that put you off, as there are many more pages with potential and you have to check out all the pictures, as this collection isn’t chronologically ordered. Better includes used "Jubilee" and KEVII sets, plus higher denominations, "Seahorses" and neat little items along the way (e.g. 1925 British Empire used pairs) multiples, back of the book (postage dues, officials, Moroccan Agencies), with some perfins to spice things up. Almost nothing from the QEII era. The condition is mixed, there is duplication and the catalogue will go into several thousand dollars. Estimate =

Hong Kong - A pocket-sized 16-page "Elephant" brand stockbook holds a little treasure trove of early Hong Kong, mostly QV to KGVI, noting a number of "Treaty Port" cancels (e.g. Hankow, Swatow, Foochowfoo, Shanghai, Amoy). Noted a number that have perfins or company "chops", along with some nice stamps (of note, the low value Royal Wedding with a Yang-listed print variety, and the $10. KEVII high value, the latter which makes for a nice space filler as a revenue cancel was scrubbed and a postal cancel added afterwards). Furthermore, there is a nice used block of #61, the good $10.00 KGVI (#166) and the lot concludes with mint, hinged, common design issues for 1935 Silver Jubilee, 1937 Coronation and the 1949 UPU issue, and a few KGVI definitives and a pair of the 1963 Stampex show sheet.

The pages are lightly used, with some clear mounts added with a few light pencil notations. Total retail about $400.00. The second album is an old Minkus binder with album pages (includes more Colonies and Administered areas) to 1960. There are some empty black mounts, but there is a number of stamps (both loose and in glassines) tucked into the binding, including some nice Aegean Islands (especially "Rhodes") and "Eritrea", but others undoubtedly exist. A lot of this was inexpensive when it was originally purchased but has recently increased in catalogue value (e.g. Rhodes #J1-J9, catalogues $108.50). There could be diamonds in this rough.

One copy of the 60c carmine and two of the 1 lira brown. About a decade ago, these were submitted to the APS expertization committee.

This mounted collection of 135 different used stamps were issued between 1892-1941, including some "back of the book" on eleven Scott album pages.

Jamaica - Town Postmark Collection / Accumulation of Jamaica Socked on the nose town postmarks, with a few thousands stamps, primarily on paper, neatly organized from town ranging from A to Y (many different towns), in a bulging stockbook. Stamps range from the 1890's up to the 1970's, with the majority of postmarks seem to range from the 1950's to the 1960's. We note CDS postmark types, offering many clear readable strikes. An offering from a long time worldwide collector that specialized in socked on the nose postmarks. Should be a popular lot for a like minded collector. Estimate =

Once or twice a year a hefty package would show up at this collector’s home that typically included stamps, booklets, folders and year sets. Perhaps because of the volume of each package, the collector just set them aside and never integrated them into his collection. Indeed, most are still in their original packaging/glassines. Due to changes in collector preferences and the number and value of new issues, UN collecting went out of vogue for a while, but with its great designs, smaller print numbers and topical interest, many collectors are trying to make up for lost time in a market with not much supply.

United States #548/1731. Mint block and plate block "investment" holding in a shoebox with hundreds of glassine envelopes, starting in the 1920's, all with Scott numbers. We put investment in quotation marks because the catalogue prices appear to be from the heady days of around 1981 and are not reflective of the current market. The owner’s note indicates that the total catalogue value was US$6250.00, but we suspect that the current reality is about half this amount in the current catalogue. The condition is all over the place, with there being a mix of never hinged to hinge remnants. There are a few higher catalogue blocks that we took out and put on black cards. Most are single blocks, but a few have some duplication or are larger pieces. Includes Washington, Prexies, National Parks, etc. Great for the collector of plate blocks. Estimate =

United States - A pair of old British springback albums with a semi-organized mounted accumulation of mostly pre-1950 stamps, including better singles (e.g. Columbus to 30c, Trans-Mississippi to 50c, "Kans/Nebr" overprints and more!) There is some potential for the precancel collector, saw a few perfins, some nice back of the book (e.g. airmail, special delivery, parcel post, postage due and a touch from American possessions) and multiples. There is a bit of mint material from 1930 onwards. Condition is a bit mixed and there is some duplication, as you would expect. This holding hasn’t seen the light of day in over 60 years! Thousands of stamps here. Estimate =

USA - Hawaii #12. A forgery produced by the Spiro Brothers of Hamburg, Germany, who forged many early Hawaiian stamps. Their products are lithographed: originals are engraved or typographed. Spiro forgeries of the Hawaii Numerals stamps are easily identified by the defective "E" in the word "postage." (From the US National Postal Museum). This is a nice single on laid paper and a tiny thin at the top, with the distinctive break in the "E". Still a nice way to expand your Hawaiian collection until the real thing comes along.

There are five "starter" worldwide collections from the 1950’s-80’s (with a few thousand stamps in total, with its usual need to find the hidden gems).

Just a brief check revealed a mint and used Canada collection, in hingeless mounts, on roughly 50 album pages, generally ranging from the 1930s to the 1950. The collection contains a bit of everything from mint and used singles, mint coil strips, plate blocks, and more. While most mint stamps have gum issues, we did note a few better mint never hinged items cataloguing in the $10 to $25 range. Also spotted an interesting oddity Scott #1927 (x2) with Vincent Graves certificate stating "two copies used on piece, showing missing printing across left stamp...", along with roughly $50 to $75 of face value postage, leaving other potential finds for the dedicated collector.

Next up is four 16-page stockbooks with lots of QEII common design issues and a mix of many other issues from the same period. An old manila stockbook has a used early QEII British America (and a couple others) stock, finishing with several manila stockpages with Ireland and Malta.
