Bid
1 Andorra #23/63A. The lengthy 1932-1943 "Scenery and Buildings" set containing 55 of the 56 denominations, missing only the relatively common 90c red #47. Mint with all but three or four stamps being never hinged and with fresh, well centered presentation. A terrific set. 2024 Scott US$655.40 = $884.79 $60.00
2 Australia #1/2448 plus Back of the Book. Substantial mint and used collection, mounted on computer generated pages (to 2006) in a large binder. Generally dual pages to 1971 (one page for mint stamps, another for used), and then one set for used stamps afterwards. The strength in this collection is pre-1940 with a good range of used ‘Roos (including a number from the first issue and later printings to 5/-) and King George V "Heads", and a good number of the 1930 commemorative issues. Throughout there is mixed coverage which gets very light after 1990. Many used stamps were selected for their cancels. There is a touch of back of the book including some Antarctic Territory, mint air mails and some postage dues. Lots of catalogue value here. Estimate = $250.00 $0.00
3 Australia #1/731. Very nice mounted pre-1980 regular issue collection has lots of better and attractive issues throughout, arranged on pages within a well-worn springback album. Mostly used, the collector appears to have gotten the watermarks, perforations and printings correct, with the first ‘Roos to 2/- (and later ‘Roos to 10/-), the good Kookaburra (which is not seen as often as the catalogue value would indicate that it should be). There are lots of King George V "heads" with many socked-on-the-nose cancels, and most of the 1930's commemorative issues (sorry no 5/- Sydney Bridge) and then missing very few issues to 1980. Individual items with catalogue values to $200.00. Expect a bit of mixed condition, but the overall appearance is excellent. Estimate = $250.00 $0.00
4 Australia and Australian States - Three sections from a used Australian collection that we have been breaking up. 1) New South Wales (118 stamps) with lots of Stanley Gibbons perforation varieties noted (along with the Scott numbers) with overprints, officials and a couple of postage dues. 2) Queensland (55 stamps) with some nice "Chalons", values to £1. 3) Australia "back of the book" including 8x "OS" perfins, airmail, 7 different official overprints and 25 postage dues. Well laid out and the potential for better stamps (catalogue values up to $100.00) along with some nice cancels. Some faults to be expected. Estimate = $160.00 $55.00
5 Australian States - A four-state collection from a used Australian collection that we have been breaking up. 1) South Australia (75 stamps) with imperforate and perforated Queen Victoria issues, with a few "tall" issues and a number of OS overprints. 2) Tasmania (47 stamps) with "Van Diemens Land" Chalons, "Keyplates" and "Pictorials". 3) Victoria (131 stamps) with an attractive group of "seated QV", followed by an interesting group of issues to 5/- with perforations and shades noted and some postage dues, "OS" perfins and Stamp Duty. 4) Western Australia (52 stamps) with both imperforate and perforated "Swans". Well laid out and the potential for better stamps (catalogue values up to $100.00) along with some nice cancels. Some faults to be expected. Estimate = $200.00 $55.00
6 Bahamas #11/764. Attractive mounted collection up to about 1980, the first page having a nice assortment of "Chalons" and Queen Victoria side-face issues, collected for shades (we catalogued this first page at $563.00!). Afterwards, there is a mix of mint and used with coverage to varying degrees. Noting some "Seal of the Colony", a used set of the 1935 Silver Jubilee, a complete used set of the 1942 Columbus overprint and then hit or miss coverage through the Elizabethan period. Great for those who love to cherry-pick or want to expand their British Caribbean collection. Estimate = $180.00 $60.00
7 Barbados #2/836. Used and mint mounted collection of early Barbados (with some QEII material) starting with a couple of attractive pages of the QV "Britannia" issues (page one catalogues over $500.00!). There are later versions of the Britannia design (noted #77 used), with some of the "Nelson", "Seal of the Colony" and "Victory" sets, the 1935 Silver Jubilee set used, and most of the 1938 Britannia set (both mint and used). From 1950 until 1999 it gets progressively lighter in coverage, but there is lots along the way to keep your collection happy! Estimate = $180.00 $10.00
8 Bechuanaland #1-3. F/VF mint hinged trio of the first three issues 1885-1887 from this Southern Africa British Crown Colony, including the 4p blue, 3p claret and 1/2p black all with "British Bechuanaland" overprint on Cape of Good Hope issues. A bit of minor gum loss from hinging, but overall fine. 2025 Scott US$195.00 = $263.25 $10.00
9 Belgium and Belgian Congo #1/1011 plus Back of the Book. Three springback volumes with a collection of used regular issues and lots of "back of the book" up to about 1978. About 1000 stamps, with lots of nice cancels and better stamps here and there. Lots of railway/parcel stamps, and an attractive run of Belgian Congo issues, including overprints. The owner’s reasonable looking catalogue value for the Belgium is $1977.00 and $200.00 for the Belgian Congo. Owner’s total older catalogue value US$2177.00 = $2,938.95 $10.00
10 Bermuda #1/788. Mounted collection of primarily used issues up to 1999, with some better such as QV sidefaces, "Dry Dock", "Caravel", KGVI "Keyplates" to 10/- and a good range of QEII issues, with sets up to £1. Some perforation and shade varieties are noted, along with some nice cancels. About 95% is used, with only minimal duplication and individual catalogue values to $25.00. Estimate = $150.00 $42.00
11 Bermuda #3/9. Quartet of the first Queen Victoria design with the Crown CC watermark in perf 14 for the 3d buff and 6d lilac, with the 6d violet and 1/- green in perf 14 x 12-1/2. Fresh looking mint examples with only a couple of blunt perfs, with the usual heavy hinging. 2024 Scott US$667.00 = $900.45 $13.00
12 Bermuda #8/191. Stockpage with a great offering of mint early Bermuda with a couple of Queen Victoria, three King George V sets, some Common design issues, much of the first Elizabethan long definitive set and a complete set of the 1962 definitives. Fresh, attractive, with a wide range of hinging, some with very light hinging up to some with hinge remnants. Total 2024 Scott US$582.80 = $786.78 $10.00
13 Bermuda #9/133. Twenty-five different mint blocks from the early Queen Victoria to late King George VI period. Includes some cylinder and inscription blocks. Sizes range from 4 to 12 stamps. Most of the stamps are never hinged, with the occasional hinge in the selvedge. Terrific appearance but about half have substantial tropical staining of the gum (most likely due to the acidification of the gum). Two copies of #21 have a strong bend, otherwise the condition is above average. Conservatively catalogued as hinged. 2024 Scott US$825.60 = $1,114.56 $10.00
14 Bermuda #10. Mint part OG example of the first Queen Victoria 1/- green issue with a diagonal "Three Pence" overprint during a temporary shortage in 1874. This mint example has a bit of toning at the top, along with a couple of short perforations and only a touch of its original gum. Still an early British America rarity. 2024 Scott US$1700.00 = $2,295.00 $10.00
15 Bermuda #14. Mint hinged example of the 1875 revaluation of the original 3d buff coloured Queen Victoria issue with a "One Penny." overprint. It has light original gum, only minor hinging and a signature from a previous owner. Reasonably centered, with decent perforations and a fresh appearance. Better than most examples of this revaluation. 2024 Scott US$550.00 = $742.50 $13.00
16 Bermuda #14, 15. A used dynamic duo. Two of the three 1875 "One Penny." overprints on the original Queen Victoria definitive issue. Both stamps have light, indistinguishable cancels. The 3d buff has a "Stanley Gibbons" stamp in purple ink on the back and a collector’s initials. The 1/- green has a very light purple ink owner’s stamp. Better perforations than are normally seen. 2024 Scott US$735.00 = $992.25 $10.00
17 Bermuda #17/23. Seldom seen mint Never Hinged multiples of Queen Victoria Bermuda issues, including three which have cylinder imprints. The 4d orange is the first watermark from 1880, and the balance is from the 1883-1904 definitive set in blocks ranging from four to twenty-four. Outstanding eye appeal and condition, with only the occasional minor fault. Catalogued as hinged, so plenty of upside when looking at the conservative catalogue value. Total 2024 Scott US$1173.00 = $1,583.55 $55.00
18 Bermuda #49-53. A quintet of King George V "Keyplates" including the 2/-, 2/6, 4/-, 5/- and 10/- fresh mint copies with nice perforations, hinged (missing only the £1). These are from the Script "CA" watermark. Unchecked for Stanley Gibbons listed varieties. An eye-catching group. 2024 Scott US$435.00 = $587.25 $10.00
19 Bermuda #50-52. Three values from the first watermark of the King George V "Keyplate" design, with the 2/6, 4/- and 5/- values, each with a Hamilton circular date stamp. All with fresh appearance and the perforations are all intact. This is very difficult material to find postally used, and nice to find such attractive copies. 2024 Scott US$450.00 = $607.50 $10.00
20 Bermuda #53. Used example of the Gibbons listed shade variety of the 10/- King George V "Keyplate" on the Stanley Gibbons-listed "pale emerald-green" paper, which give all colours in the stamp a paler look. Has the "Script CA" watermark and a nice "St. Georges" circular date stamp. Catalogued as the basic stamp by Scott catalogue, but certainly worth more. 2024 Scott US$425.00 = $573.75 $12.00
21 Bermuda #53. Used example of the regular Scott listed shade of the 10/- King George V "Keyplate" with a very rich appearance. Has the "Script CA" watermark and a nice "St. Georges" circular date stamp which is clear of the King’s face. Very attractive. 2024 Scott US$425.00 = $573.75 $10.00
22 Bermuda #94, 97. A used duo from the second watermark of the King George V "Keyplate" issues. The 2/- and the 12/6 denominations both have partial "Hamilton" circular date stamps. Well centered and with good perforations, these are worthy of all British America collections. 2024 Scott US$512.50 = $691.88 $10.00
23 Bermuda #94-97. All four of the King George V "Keyplate" issues from the second watermark (block "CA") released between 1924-1932. Stunning appearance with fresh colours, nice centering and great perforations. The stamps are all hinged, with the 2/6 having a single tone spot on the back and the 10/- with a bit of offset that someone has tried to erase, disturbing the gum. There are shades listed in both Scott and Stanley Gibbons, but we are valuing them at the cheapest version in Scott, so plenty of upside here. 2024 Scott US$590.00 = $796.50 $10.00
24 Bermuda #95a. Choice used example of the key "pale orange vermillion and black" King George V shade of the 2/6 "Keyplate" on fray blue paper with the block "CA" watermark. A beautiful used example with a socked on the nose cancel (the "Bermuda" is easily readable, the "Hamilton" is very light). The orange colour gives it almost an iridescent appearance. A beautiful stamp. 2024 Scott US$3,250.00 = $4,387.50 $10.00
25 Bermuda #112/121A. Duo of King George VI Bermuda issued two booklets (the only two issued during his reign), one with a face value of 5/- (for regular mail) and the other 10/6 (for airmail). Near perfect condition as they were bought by the previous collector from the Post Office, and have been carefully stowed away for the last 75 years! As the stamps came from sheet stock, they aren’t listed in Scott, but are listed in Stanley Gibbons as #SB1 and #SB2. Owner's older 2019 Gibbons £290.00 = $531.40 $22.00
26 Bermuda #114/217. Astonishing, yet decrepit, thick mint sheet file with a holding of mint multiples from blocks up to complete panes of an assortment of issues from 1936-1967, with a range of definitives, commemoratives (saw a few Common Design issues) and overprints. Includes some plates or inscriptions and better such as #121D pane of 60 (catalogues $300.00) and #154 (half pane of 30, catalogues $217.50). They have been in this book since being purchased as new issues. There is the occasional minor selvage fault and there is a bit of minor toning here and there, but some are show pieces, and there is huge value here. Estimate = $200.00 $10.00
27 Bermuda #123/125. Mint multiples of the 2/- and 5/- King George VI "keyplate" design with perf 14. Includes 40 mint, never hinged, copies of #123 with a lovely block of 20 with the cylinder number at the bottom. The 5/- (#125) is in a striking block of 10, again never hinged. The 2024 Scott catalogue value for hinged is $710.00, but they assign a 50% premium for being never hinged. Pro-rata 2024 Scott US$1065.00 = $1,437.15 $10.00
28 Bermuda #123/128. A sextet of mint blocks of the King George VI "Keyplate" design, including three that are cylinder blocks. The 2/- includes the "broken lower right scroll" Stanley Gibbons 116ce, catalogues £225.00 (but the block has a bit of flaking, so we have catalogued it as ordinary stamps by Scott). The 2/-, 2/6 and 12/6 blocks are perf 14, the rest are perf 13. Overall fresh, well centered and most are never hinged. The 12/6 has significant acidification of the gum (normal for this printing), and a corner crease in the selvage. Spice up your album with these beauties. Total 2024 Scott US$1019.00 = $1,375.65 $10.00
29 Bermuda #123/128b. A specialized page of used King George VI "Keyplate" high values, most with examples of both perforations, and more shades than are listed in Scott. All postally used examples with circular date stamps, and the usual minor faults that come from larger stamps that have gone through the postal system on oversized items. The £1 examples are both perf 14, with the "red" and "salmon" coloured papers. Total 2024 Scott US$576.25 = $777.94 $10.00
30 Bermuda #123/128b. A very complete mint offering of the King George VI "Keyplate" issue, including all denominations with both perforations and with most of the Scott-listed colour-shade variants. Includes all of the 2/-, 2/6, 5/- and 10/- listings, one each of the perf 13 and perf 14 varieties of the 12/6 (counted as the cheapest shade) and the £1 with the perf 13 and the perf 14 (in black and purple on salmon coloured paper). Each is a selected copy, well centered, good perforations. A couple are never hinged, a couple with small hinge remnants, but most are lightly hinged. Includes a couple with the natural acidification of the gum that came from the WWII printings. A terrific lot. Total 2024 Scott US$882.00 = $1,190.70 $80.00
31 Bermuda #142/405. Queen Elizabeth plate block collection from 1953 to 1980 with a wide assortment of plate numbers (including up to four for a specific issue), with better sets and partial definitive sets, and some commemorative and common design issues. All appear to be never hinged, and they are in excellent condition. Coverage is a bit hit-or-miss, but perfect to add some eye appeal to your collection. Total 2024 Scott US$1030.20 = $1,390.77 $10.00
32 Bermuda #143/162. Specialized plate block collection of the 1953-1958 issue, missing only the 1/- and 5/- denominations. Noted both denominations with both versions of "Sandy’s" (the 3d is just an inscription block, the rest are all plate number blocks). A few of the denominations include two different plates. All are never hinged, with fresh appearance and in excellent condition. Total 2024 Scott US$604.00 = $815.40 $44.00
33 Bermuda - First Day Cover Holding of 320 covers from the 1963-1997 period within a small box. Duplicated group, from someone investing in First Day Covers that lived in Bermuda during this period. Lots of better topicals here, often in sets, which include Ships, Rotary, QEII Silver Jubilee, Birds, Wildlife, Maps and "Miss World". Very clean, perfect for keeping what you need and selling the remainder. Estimate = $120.00 $10.00
34 Bosnia #30c/45f. A selection of 14 different mint hinged values from the 1906 "Scenic" with compound perforations. These sheets had perforators of wildly different gauges dividing up the sheet, creating stamps (in this case) with sides with 2 different perforations. Ten of these values have perforation 12-1/2 and 9-1/4 on varying sides (series "c" in Scott Classic) and four are from series "f" with different perforations of 9-1/4 and 6-1/2. Stamps are fresh and reasonably centered, with hinging from light to hinge remnants. A few of the perforations are blunt, as is normally seen with these issues.

36 Bosnia #30d/45e. A selection of 20 different mint hinged values from the 1906 "Scenic" with compound perforations. These sheets had perforators of wildly different gauges divide up the sheet, creating stamps (in this case) with sides with 2 or 3 different perforations. Thirteen of these values have perforation 12-1/2, 9-1/4 and 6-1/2 on varying sides (series "d" in Scott Classic) and seven are from series "e" with different perforations of 12-1/2 and 6-1/2. Stamps are fresh and reasonably centered (with the exception of three mid-values in series "d" that have some minor foxing), with hinging from light to hinge remnants.

Stamps are fresh and reasonably centered, but a few of the stamps are cancelled to order (typically the mint and used stamps catalogue the same). A few of the perforations are blunt, as is normally seen with these issues. Total 2021 Scott Classic US$1181.75 = $1,596.36 $55.00
38 Bosnia #30j/45l. A selection of 21 different mint hinged values from the 1906 "Scenic" with compound perforations.

41 British Carribbean - The balance of a mostly used mounted collection from Antigua, British Honduras, Leeward Islands, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, Virgin Islands.

Almost all pre-1980, with a mix of mint and used issues back to the Victorian period. Includes some nice "keyplate" issues and some King George V and VI commemorative partial sets.

44 British Commonwealth - Accumulation of several hundred British Commonwealth first day and commemorative covers in a box, generally ranging from the 1950's to the 1980's, with material possible on either side of the given range.

Attractive classic-era collection, plus a few "post-colonial" issues with an array of perforated "Seal of the Colony" issues (lots of "A03" cancels) of various forms to the early 20th century, including overprints - calling all "ships on stamps" topical collectors. Noted a range from the 1898 Jubilee set and better singles with catalogue values to $80.00 such as #22, 44, 69, 71, 200, 241, #J4. Some minor faults are to be expected. Estimate = $180.00 $10.00
57 Canada #1. Fine three-margin used example of the 1851 issue 3 Penny Beaver imperf on horizontally laid paper (good strong laid-lines visible), with 7-ring target cancel. A very respectable example of Canada's "number one". 2024 Scott US$1,200.00 = $1,620.00 $55.00
58 Canada #2. Sound used example of the 1851 issue 6p Consort on vertically laid paper (strong laid-lines). Nice colour with "socked on the nose" 7-ring target cancel.

The 1c #14 comes with both Scott-listed shades and 4 examples of the 5c Beaver. One of the 10c Prince Albert issues is damaged (and not counted). Both shades of the green 12-1/2c are present as is the 17c Cartier and the 2c Queen Victoria. Other than the one faulty stamp mentioned, the balance seem to be in reasonable condition, although a few could benefit from a re-soaking. 2024 Scott US$1590.00 = $2,146.50 $0.00
61 Canada #5. Fine appearing used example of the 1855 issue 6p slate grey "Prince Albert" imperforate on wove paper, with tidy "21" 4-ring postmark (Montreal). A small sealed tear at bottom, and design cut-in at top, but a respectable example of this elusive Pence issue. 2025 Scott US$1150.00 = $1,552.50 $50.00
62 Canada #7. Fine appearing used example of the 1855 issue 10p blue "Cartier" imperforate on thin wove paper. All margins are clear, but with the top left margin cut just touching the design and with small shallow thin (noticeable in fluid). Still a reasonable example of this key Pence issue value. 2025 Scott US$1500.00 = $2,025.00 $50.00
63 Canada #9. Fine used example of the 1857 issue half penny rose imperforate on wove paper. Full margins on left and top, and just-in on right and bottom. A very respectable example of this elusive Canadian classic. 2025 Scott US$700.00 = $945.00 $26.00

65 Canada #12. Used example of the 3p red "Beaver" provisional 1858 "perforated pence" issue. Fine centered with a light "Beaver-free" postmark (appears unused).

66 Canada #14/20. Attractive used offering of 7x 1859 "First Cents" issues and the 1864 QV issue 2c rose, including shades neatly arranged on a stockcard.

67 Canada #14/30. Cents and Large Queen assortment on page with 26 stamps (up to 5 of a type) with shades, cancels (nice leaf cork cancel on the 6c LQ), a 1/2c with perf 11-1/2. Usual mixed condition, but undeniably attractive. Total 2024 Scott US$2697.50 = $3,641.63 $10.00
68 Canada #17v. Fine used example of the 10c brown 1859 issue Prince Albert showing the position 61 "double epaulette" constant plate variety. A rare "First Cents" issue variety, of which we have only handled a few over the years. 2024 Unitrade = $500.00 $13.00
69 Canada #20. Fine used example of the 1864 2c rose Victoria with the Unitrade. Tide partial CDS cancel is well struck and mostly "face-free". A very nice used example of this stamp. 2025 Scott US$350.00 = $472.50 $22.00
70 Canada #21/651. A century of used stamps in this green Stanley Gibbons "Utile" springback binder. Starts with a dozen Large Queens (catalogues over $1000.00), with an equally nice group of Small Queens to the 50c Widow Weeds, including shade, perforation and cancel interest. The Queen Victoria "Leaf" set goes to the 10c and the "Numeral to the 20c", The King Edward VII, Quebec and most of the 1920s-30s commemorative sets are complete, and yes there is a Bluenose. The Admiral issue generally has 2-4 copies of each stamp, but with no explanation, so there might be some research opportunities here. The balance of the collection is fairly complete and intact, with some bonus material such as cancels, precancels or multiples. About 500 different stamps here. Estimate = $300.00 $0.00
71 Canada #22, 84, 116. Trio of attractive early singles, fresh, well centered and generally decent perforations, but alas with no gum. The 1c brown-red Large Queen has a slightly rounded corner, the 20c QV "Numeral" has an attractive blind perforation at the bottom and the 10c plum Admiral has a minor plate scratch at the middle left, extending from the top maple leaf into the margin. Total 2024 Scott catalogue as mint with gum is US$2125.00 ($2868.75 CDN). Estimate = $150.00 $0.00
72 Canada #22/30. Used offering of 10x 1868-1875 "Large Queen" issues, neatly arranged on a stockpage. Some attractive individual stamps here, including a well centered 5c olive green (with cork cancel). A couple of small perf faults and the 12 ½c has a minor thin (so not counted in the catalogue value). All catalogued as the cheapest listing for each stamp, so there will be some upside (including the 1875 issued 15c blue grey). 2025 Scott US$1210.00 = $1,633.50 $10.00
73 Canada #26. F/VF mint no gum example of the 1875 issue 5c olive green Large Queen, perf 11.5 x 12. A very scarce mint stamp in nicer than usual condition. 2025 Scott US$1600.00 = $2,160.00 $60.00

75 Canada #35/84. Two pages worth of Small Queens (with some specialization), Jubilees up to the 15c, QV "Leaf" to the 8c and most of the "Numeral" set to 20c.

76 Canada #46-47. Fresh and F/VF mint hinged examples of the 20c vermilion and 50c deep blue Widow Weeds 1893 issue high values, a brilliant duo with fantastic eye appeal. Both well centered, the 20c in particular is quite nice! 2025 Scott US$800.00 = $1,080.00 $42.00
77 Canada #46-47. Sound and VF used examples of the 1893 issue 20c vermilion and 50c deep blue Queen Victoria "Widows Weeds". The 20c value with tidy Toronto ONT oval parcel-post postmark, the 50c with a premium "socked on the nose" Toronto ONT (JA 24/96) split ring postmark. Rich original colours, a lovely high value duo. 2025 Scott US$210.00 = $283.50 $10.00
78 Canada #50/61. QV Jubilees: A mixed back of mint and used up to the dollar. The 1/2c is quite damaged (and not counted). The 1c-3c are used or mint no gum (counted as used). The 6c is well centered and has an extremely light CDS cancel that barely touches in at the right. The 10c is mint no gum. The 8c and 15c have moderate parcel cancels. The 20c is lightly used and the 50c has a Toronto squared circle cancel. The dollar value, which is missing from most collections, is mint with original gum, but with significant hinging. 2024 Scott US$1810.00 = $2,443.50 $0.00
79 Canada #56/120a, J5. Mixed balance of consignment mint group, which includes 4 singles and a block, Lot consists of an attractive 8c Jubilee (the stamp is never hinged, but with a gum bend), a 15c Quebec Tercentenary with a hinge remnant (and a thin), two Admirals which include the 5c indigo and 50c black and lastly, from the same era (and the nicest of the group) is the block of 10c postage dues from the first purple series. Total 2024 Scott US$1355.00 = $1,829.25 $0.00
80 Canada #58. F/VF mint Hinged example of the 15c steel blue 1897 QV Jubilee issue. A great stamp with fresh colour. A very respectable example of this tough to find issue. 2024 Scott US$300.00 = $405.00 $10.00
81 Canada #61. Fine used example of the 1897 issue $1.00 lake Jubilee. Attractive "Montreal QUE / 8" roller postmark, well above average for this issue. 2025 Scott US$750.00 = $1,012.50 $10.00
82 Canada #62. F/VF centered used example of the $2.00 dark purple 1897 Queen Victoria Jubilee issue, with rich colour and indistinct roller cancel. 2025 Scott US$550.00 = $742.50 $0.00
83 Canada #63. Fine+ mint Hinged / mildly disturbed gum example of the $3.00 yellow-bistre 1897 Queen Victoria Jubilee issue. This is the "key value" of the set, with only 13,500 produced. A well above-average example of this tough stamp. 2025 Scott US$1300.00 = $1,755.00 $210.00
84 Canada #64. Attractive Fine+ mint Hinged / Hinge remnant example of the $4.00 purple 1897 QV Diamond Jubilee issue. Wonderfully vivid colour and above average centering. 2025 Scott US$1,300.00 = $1,755.00 $80.00

A couple minor faults, but overall fine. 2025 Scott US$713.65 = $963.40 $0.00
87 Canada #74/653. Good starter collection of mint, mostly 20th century, issues up to 1974. Starts a bit sparsely, but noted a nice copy of #80 and an imperforate pair of #90A. The Admirals are quite complete to the 50c, the Scroll issue goes to the 50c (Bluenose) and the KGV Arch/Leaf issue goes to the 20c. There are many of the 1920s-30s commemorative issues with Champlain, War, Peace and Fisheries dollars. There are a number of coil singles and occasional specialized items (e.g. plate flaw).

88 Canada #85, 86, E3. F/VF mint Hinged trio of 1898 issues, including both basic shades of the 1898 "Map Stamp", plus the 10c blue green Special Delivery issue. A very clean trio. 2025 Scott US$250.00 = $337.50 $0.00
89 Canada #85/1968 plus Back of the Book. Two volume Scott Specialty 2-post albums with pages to 2003, hosting a fairly complete 20th century collection (there are a few Queen Victoria issues).

From King George V through to 2002, there is general completeness of postally used stamps, with very few souvenir sheets. The "back of the book" includes airmail, special delivery, purple postage dues and lots of officials (perfin and "OHMS"/"G" overprints, including the Fisheries $1.00). Nicely mounted in black mounts, a few of the pages could use some repair and the pages are mounted in reverse order (oldest at the back), which will only take an hour to reverse. Over 1700 stamps, with substantial catalogue value. New albums of this type will set you back $400.00+ alone! Estimate = $400.00 $0.00
90 Canada #104-118. Comprehensive selection of mint hinged George V Admiral stamps, neatly arranged on a single stocksheet as received from the consignor.

Catalogued by the previous owner with a 2020 Unitrade, but we noted some of the prices are for plate blocks, rather than blank corners. Owner's 2020 Unitrade = $775.20 $10.00
95 Canada #274/368. Massive wholesale holding of 1940's-1950's mint commemorative plate blocks with quantities from 1 to 240. Includes better like the 1951 CAPEX issue, 20c Pulp, 15c Gannet to go with Prime Ministers, Animals, etc. Includes a selection of different plate numbers, and there are many matched sets. About 90% appear to be never hinged and over appearance is quite fresh. Over 600 plate blocks in total (the face value will exceed $100.00). Total 2024 Unitrade = $2,954.75 $10.00

Late King George VI and early QEII definitives mint plate block selection, with a seemingly random assortment of denominations, plate numbers and positions, including both with and without "Postes-Postage" issues, and the Karsh and Wilding Issues. With a mix of both matched sets and various positions, most issues have multiple plate numbers represented (with some up to 7 different numbers). Very fresh, 90% are never hinged. Set aside by this collector over 60 years ago, a very nice offering. Some premiums have been added for centering and being never hinged, but the catalogue value is still conservative! 2024 Unitrade = $438.85 $11.00

The first is a collection (or possible exhibit) with Wilding packs, mint and used panes, covers and some Christmas panes on manila stock pages.

There are some Winnipeg tags, some attempts at pane reconstruction, and even a letter from the post office in 1961 describing the release of the original packs. The mint are mostly never hinged and there is moderate duplication. This is quite an old holding, as far as we know there has been no attempt to identify different papers. Unitrade is up to $40.00 per pane. Estimate = $140.00 $22.00
98 Canada #582-585. VF mint NH investment group of 20 full mint NH untagged panes of 16 of the 1972 issue 15c se-tenant Earth Sciences commemorative. A very high quality selection.

The latter of the group is the key-item, which in one of only 2500 issued and is one of the few "singed" sheets from the period. 2024 Unitrade = $320.00 $0.00
108 Canada #2195-2197, 2357-2360, 2361. VF mint complete set of four "gutter" strips of ten of the 2006 and 2010 Flower Definitive series, plus the 2010 "horizontal roll" strip of ten (from the jumbo roll of 5000 stamps). Unitrade only values "gutter" strips of four, so these have conservatively been valued as a strip of four, plus 6 singles per-strip. Harder to find than the catalogue might indicate. 2024 Unitrade $205.40 $42.00
109 Canada #2280/2557. VF mint Never Hinged group of 8 different complete "P" value panes/sheets from the 2011/2012 period. Includes the difficult to find examples of #2480 and 2482 (2011 Recording Artists, catalogue $75.00 per pane). These full panes were ignored by many, due to the high initial cost and have been tougher to find in the "philatelic aftermarket" 13+ years after issue. Face value alone is $169.88. 2024 Unitrade = $353.90 $110.00
110 Canada #2505, 2506-2509. VF mint complete set of four "gutter" strips of ten of the 2012 "Baby Animals" Definitive series, plus the 2012 "horizontal roll" strip of ten (from the jumbo roll of 5000 stamps) of the "P" value "Racoon". Unitrade only values "gutter" strips of four, so these have conservatively been valued as a strip of four, plus 6 singles per-strip, plus 10 singles for the "jumbo roll" strip. Harder to find than the catalogue might indicate. 2024 Unitrade = $127.40 $40.00
111 Canada #2559-2566. Complete mint set of eight "gutter" strips of ten of the 2012 "CFL Teams" series, with a different design for each of the 8 CFL teams. Unitrade only values "gutter" strips of four, so these have conservatively been valued as a strip of four, plus 6 singles per-strip. Harder to find than the catalogue might indicate. Face value alone is $99.20! 2024 Unitrade = $153.60 $80.00
112 Canada #2567, BK499-BK507, BK516. VF mint complete set of the 2012 issued "100th Grey Cup Game" booklets (9 in total still in the Post Office sealed plastic), plus the matching VF NH souvenir sheet of 9 values, and lastly the later issued 2012 Toronto Argonauts Grey Cup Winners booklet. A very clean assembly, which has been tough to find after issue due to the high original cost and cross-interest with sports collectable collectors. Face value alone is $135.16. 2024 Unitrade = $185.75 $110.00
113 Canada #2586. Complete Canada Post thank you "kit" consisting of a small presentation box containing two VF condition intact mint examples of the limited-edition booklet of 12 of the permanent "THANKS/MERCI!" Truck and Rainbow design Picture Postage stamp, issued on November 30th 2020, ONLY TO CANADA POST EMPLOYEES, plus a thank you card and matching rainbow pin. The booklets are very elusive. While recognized and reviewed in numerous philatelic journals, Unitrade has yet to create an individual listing for this stamp, so we have used the Unitrade catalogue number for the frame design as our stamp reference. Two booklets are perfect for display purposes (front and back). Estimate = $100.00 $36.00
114 Canada #C1/C9, CE1-CE2, CO1-CO2, E1/E11, F1/F2, J1/J20, MR1/MR3, O1/O49. Thorough used "back of the book" collection, with a good run of airmail, special delivery, war tax, postage dues and officials, with a few 2c and 5c registered stamps. A bit of light duplication may indicate an attempt to collect by Stanley Gibbons. Speaking of which, the collection is mounted on quadrilled pages in a red "Utile" springback album with about 40 as-new blank pages (these are not cheap, if you can find them at all). Overall condition looks quite nice. Total 2024 Scott US$408.90 = $552.00 $42.00
115 Canada #E1/E11, F1/F3, J1/J40, MR1/MR7. Extensive "back of the book" collection/exhibit with a complete basic set of the special delivery issues (both mint and used), the three used Registered letter stamps (including a nice 8c), a mixed bag of purple and red postage dues, same with the War Tax issues. Generally fresh, attractive examples and the occasional duplicate is not counted in the total catalogue value. 2024 Scott US$2464.10 = $3,326.54 $16.00
116 Canada #E1-E11, CE1-CE4. Mint selection of "back of the book" Special Delivery and Air Post Special Delivery stamps. The examples of CE1 to CE3 are Never Hinged, CE4 Never Hinged (but small spot no gum), E1 and E2 Hinged and E3-E11 Never Hinged. 2025 Scott US$762.50 = $1,029.40 $10.00
117 Canada #F3. VF unused (no gum) example of the 1876 issued 8c Registered Letter Stamp. A great looking example of this key-value Registered Letter Stamp, especially if you are not too worried about the gum side (2025 Scott for mint is US$675.00 = $911.25 CDN). Estimate = $120.00 $11.00
118 Canada #MR2. F/VF mint Never Hinged block of four of the 1915 issue 2c + 1c carmine George V Admiral "War Tax" stamp. Great rich colour. 2024 Scott US$330.00 = $455.50 $10.00
119 Canada #MR3b. Fresh and VF mint NH example of the Unitrade and Scott Classic listed rose red shade of the 1916 issue 2c + 1c KGV War Tax. Brilliant colour. Unitrade is $225.00 for VF mint NH. 2024 Scott Classic US$157.50 = $212.65 $11.00
120 Canada #O1/O49, CO1-CO2, EO1-EO2. Near complete, mint Official overprints, complete for the "OHMS" overprints (the O9 is lightly hinged, the O10 is never hinged). The "G" overprints are just missing the Peace/Ferry and Fisheries dollars. Includes both overprints on the airmail and special delivery issues. Mounted on quadrilled pages. 2024 Scott US$635.45 = $857.85 $10.00
121 Canada #O1/O49, OE1-OE2. About as complete a collection of "OHMS" and "G" overprinted issues as you can get, with each issue represented with a mint and used example (with a multiple thrown in here and there). Clean and hinged to quadrilled pages. Includes the key-value 50c "Lumbering" O9, which is never hinged! Bonus is a page of used KGVI 4 hole OHMS issues including the Destroyer dollar which are not counted in the total catalogue value. 2024 Scott US$1249.70 = $1,687.10 $10.00
122 Canada #O16/O37. Selection of "G" overprinted plate blocks including the KGVI "Postes-Postage", "Fur Trade", "Canada Goose" and QEII "Karsh" issues. Includes an assortment of plates (some have up to 5 different plates represented) and positions, but here are a number of matched sets. About 90% are never hinged and were properly stored after having been purchased as "new issues". Overlooked by most collectors at the time, even during the "golden age" of plate block collecting, the catalogue values have risen substantially over the year. A few have had premiums added for centering or being never hinged, where appropriate, but the catalogue value done here is still very conservative. 2024 Unitrade = $1,107.50 $10.00
123 Canada - Accumulation of mint blocks. Starts with a couple of larger blocks of the 1c green Admiral, some of the 1927 issues, the 3c Cartier, but most blocks are four, including the 10c Admiral bistre and the two-line 3c on 2c overprint, with the 1935 Jubilees, and assorted KGV, KGVI up to the Export dollar, with some back of the book (nice EO1). The condition is a bit mixed, with a number of never hinged blocks. Centering is a bit varied, as you would expect, and there is a bit of duplication. Overall appearance is very nice. Perfect to break up the look of your album pages, or to sell off what you don’t need. Catalogue value will be at least a couple of thousand dollars. Estimate = $180.00 $10.00
124 Canada - Annual Collections for 1974 & 1975. The two scarcest Canada Post Annual Collections, from the years 1974 and 1975. Very nice quality duo of the key early 8½ x 11 Post Office Yearbooks. Both complete with MNH stamps in collector added mounts. The 1974 year set is the "punched inside" version with outer cover unpunched but inner pages 3-hole punched, while the 1975 is the "full punched" version, having received the 3-hole punch throughout (as listed in the catalogue). Getting these is increasingly tougher, especially in as nice of shape as these two are. Both come with original envelope, which are a bit aged (as almost all the ones we have seen are). 2024 Unitrade = $335.00 $13.00
125 Canada - Annual Collections. Early assembly of Post Office Annual collections, with the years 1968-1973 inclusive, then 1976. While the 1976 is the larger "8 ½ x 11" format, the rest are the earlier small format examples, which all (with the exception of 1973), still have their original envelope. Also included is Thematic Collection #7 (1974) which features the 1972-1974 Definitive issues. Tougher to find than the catalogue would indicate. 2024 Unitrade = $190.00 $24.00
126 Canada - Annual Collections: Hardcover 1986 & 1989. Pristine mint examples of the premium and very scarce HARDCOVER annual collections for 1986 and 1989 (Unitrade #29a & 32a). These two volumes, which Canada Post originally sold for a higher issue price, now often sell for full catalogue (and often more). 2024 Unitrade = $170.00 $22.00
127 Canada - Bankers box containing an explorer’s delight, with several starter collections (yes some need low expectations, but others go back to the Large Queens), noted some nice "back of the book" (e.g. purple dues, officials) with a mix of mint and used into the early 1990's. There is at least $150.00 in face value that will need some effort to extract because of mounting. About 1/3 of the box is Canada Post folders, presentation packs and souvenir items (even some "Story of Canada" first day covers). Happy hunting! Estimate = $150.00 $22.00
128 Canada - Collection / Accumulation of 48 Federal Wildlife Habitat Conservation booklets, noting years 1985 (x6), 1986 (x2), 1987 (x4), 1988 (x3), 1989 (x5), 1990 (x4), 1991 (x3), 1992-1993, 1994 (x2), 1995, 1996 (x2), 1997-1999, 2001-2002, 2003 (x2), 2005 (x3), 2006 (x2), 2008, 2017. Total 2024 Unitrade Catalogue = $1,360.00 $10.00
129 Canada - Collection / accumulation of used Canada in a Parliament Album, 1868-1977.

The consignor summary notes 1,178 stamps with a Scott 2025 catalogue value of $7,860 (up to 1951 only), noting many stamps cataloguing $20 and up. Postmark interest including squared circles, duplex, CDS, including a few socked on the nose. A few small faults on a few of the stamps, overall a fine to very fine collection. Estimate = $750.00 $0.00
130 Canada - Collection of mint never hinged Canada in a hingeless Lighthouse album with slipcase. The collection ranges from 1953 to 1982, noting singles, a few blocks, souvenir sheets, along with some issues having tagging or paper differences. Face value totals $85. A nice clean lot, and the basis for a nice mint collection of Canada. Estimate = $120.00 $42.00
131 Canada - Elizabethan catch all group, of primarily mint material in 4 stockbooks and sealed material, containing singles, blocks, plate blocks (including some matched sets), miniature panes, booklets, pre-cancel strips of 20 (with warning strips in selvedge), and complete sheets, generally ranging from the early 1950's to the early 1980's. Some of the material has been identified by the previous owner for tagging and fluorescence (regular only, would need further inspection for varying degrees). The lot also includes some used material noting nicely centered CDS cancels on used blocks. A few mint plate blocks catalogue in the $5 to $10 range, and we estimate $150 to $200 of face value material (5c to 30c denominations). A nice useful lot for any collector that enjoys the study of paper types of the period. Estimate = $200.00 $10.00
132 Canada - Interesting accumulation of roughly 120 used plate blocks in a Bileski block album with slip case. Each block has been neatly cut from a parcel all receiving a well centered Edmonton SUB-AUX 58 POCON postmark, on several different dates from 1978 or 1979 on medium or high value denominations including 50c Street Scenes (x19), $1,25 Prince Albert Capex issue (x47), $1 Landscape (z24), and $2 Landscape (x27). The lot also includes a few Provincial Flags FDC souvenir sheets, with nicely tied special delivery and fragile labels. A nice lot for the block collector. Estimate = $120.00 $10.00
133 Canada - Mint consignment balance on stock and album pages. The most unusual is the KGVI coil-starter tabs from a number of issues including Mufti, War, and the without "Postes-Postage" issues. There are some assorted Queen Victoria issues with the 2c Small Queen and 8c Jubilee, with an assortment of King Edward VII to early QEII issues, noting a couple of booklet panes, better singles (Cavell dollar, KGV Leaf set to 10c) and more KGV coils. While the appearance is quite nice, there is a bit of mixed centering and the gum sides range from perfect down to regummed. There is lots of value here, and those coil tabs are likely under catalogued. Estimate = $200.00 $20.00
134 Canada - Mostly used accumulation filling a bankers box, the balance of a consignment. The best is a scattering of glassines, cards, and album pages that probably came from a dealer holding (with QV numerals to 20c, a few Map stamps, some "back of the book" (there are two copies of 4-hole perfin O9-226, Unitrade $90.00 each). There are a couple of boxes of glassines with used late 1960's to early 1980's wholesale issues, and little bits and pieces of collections, cancels, plus the usual assortment of loose and buried material. Estimate = $160.00 $0.00
135 Canada - Six pages of a mint "back of the book" accumulation, with airmails, special delivery, war tax, postage dues and officials, plus a Yukon Airways mint single. Wide range of condition from perfect to off-centered and regummed, with most being quite nice examples. There is substantial catalogue value, and some light to moderate duplication. Some of the postage dues indicate a first kick at specialization, with a few corner blocks. Individual items with catalogue values to $75.00. Estimate = $150.00 $10.00
136 Canada - Thematic / "Back of the Book" assembly. A small box (about the size of a shoebox) stuffed with the often neglected special Canada Post issued products, most of which are now listed in the back of the Unitrade catalogue. These products have been increasingly popular over the past several years as finding some of them can be challenging as many dealers don't stock them. Includes 1976 Olympics "Letter Writing Kit" and Felt Presentation Booklet (Thematic Collections #7/8), 8x Lunar New Year Packs (duplicated, 1997-1999), Tall Ships, Singing the Sonds to the Spirit, 1992 Olympics, Historial Vehicles, Star Trek Prestige Booklet, 1988 Calgary Olympics, a complete set of the 2012 QEII Diamond Jubilee, two different 1995 "Superhero" kits (including "Perf" comics) and few other Unitrade listed thematic collections.

137 Canada - Thematic Collection #88. Wholesale offering of 5 copies of the 1999 issued "Millenium" collection, hardbound limited-edition book, featuring 34 panes of two stamps (this was the only way you could acquire the stamps in this format). Only 200,000 were produced, with an original purchase price of $59.99 per book. The stamps in these books are actually different than the regularly issued panes (different size of "hidden date"). Unitrade acknowledges this, but does not value these separately. Original purchase price was $299.95. 2024 Unitrade = $600.00 $10.00
138 Canada - TWO VOLUME LINDER ALBUM COLLECTION. Primarily mint and used collection of Canada in two Lindner albums with slipcases. The collection ranges from 1870 to 1982, roughly 97% complete in period, and includes coil singles and "back of the book" material. The collection begins with mint and used sets and partial sets including 18 Small Queen issues noting mint 50c Widow Weeds (HR), Jubilees 1/2c to 10c, Leafs and Numerals (noting mint hinged 8c Leaf, and 10c, 20c Numerals), Edwards, Quebecs, and continues with primarily mint sets and partial sets including Admirals (missing 10c blue), Scroll (except 50c used Bluenose), Arch, Medallion (Scott c.v. $263 total), Pictorials, War Issue (c.v. $173 total), Peace, along with Airmails, Postage Dues, Special Delivery, and G overprints.

Consignor's 2025 total Scott catalogue value totals US$16,689.00! We note several faults with the early material, along with some mint stamps having no gum, heavy hinging, or other faults up to the Admiral issues, with a mixture of mint hinged and never hinged material post the 1920s. Still a nice collection with much useful material perfect to build upon, integrate in your own collection or break apart. Well worth our conservative estimate. Estimate = $950.00 $55.00
139 Canada - Unitrade Listed "Pre-Packaged Stamps". All intact and Very Fine quality mostly different group of twenty of the scarce early 1964 to 1972 period Canada Post mint stamp packs.

Overlooked and undervalued additions to your modern Canada collection. Listed in Unitrade, but not valued. Estimate = $150.00 $42.00
140 Canada - USED HOARD PART 1. Thousands of Canada used stamps, organized into glassines or envelopes, each identified by Unitrade number in a Uhaul carton. A very cursory check indicated a smattering of Victorian material (1897ish), with the bulk of the material from the 1920's up to the 1960's. We did not see much in the way of town postmarks, but could have some better finds within. Ideal for dedicated collector. Each glassine / envelope appears to have 10 to 20 stamps each. Estimate = $120.00 $0.00
141 Canada - USED HOARD Part 2. Second part with thousands of Canada stamps, organized into envelopes or glassines, each identified by Unitrade number in a Uhaul carton.

Estimate = $150.00 $10.00
146 Canada Covers - Accumulation of over 500x 6c Centennial postal stationery covers, all with Newfoundland postmarks, appearing to be from 1970.

181 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #16. Fine used 2-margin example of the 1860 issue 6p orange imperforate. Very light grid cancel.

Estimate = $250.00 $10.00
186 Canadian Provinces - Nova Scotia #5. Lovely appearing used example of the dark green 1857 issued 6 pence "Heraldic Flowers" design with four large margins and a light grid cancel.

By the mid-1970's, there are more misses than hits, so this is perfect for the British Caribbean collector who likes the classics. Some interesting cancels, and a bit of perforation varieties. Most have Scott number annotations and an (older) catalogue value. Overall condition is cleaner than normally seen. Total 2024 Scott US$575.95 = $777.53 $0.00

197 Dominica #5/611, MR1/MR5. An attractive collection of mostly used "classics" (with a bit more running to 1975) mounted on quadrilled pages, starting with the 1877 issue, followed by a nice group of the "Roseau" and "Seal of the Colony" issues. The King George VI issues are only missing the highest denomination, and there is a nice "Silver Wedding" duo. The Elizabethan material is thinner, with the occasional better item here or there. Overall the condition looks to be very nice. Total 2024 Scott US$502.85 = $678.85 $0.00
198 Dominican Republic #310-322. Complete 1936 "National Library and Archives" set, mint never hinged, overprinted "Muestra" (translating as either "sample" or "specimen"). A regular, hinged, set catalogues $142.00 in Scott. Estimate = $140.00 $10.00

200 Falkland Islands and Dependencies #6/445 plus Back of the Book. A lovely (mostly) used collection covering a century of South Atlantic issues from early to 1986, the best being the Victorian material that includes shades. Throughout is a bit hit or miss, with 90% being used. Some nice individual items throughout (noted #95, and the 1952 KGVI set). The Dependencies include KGVI issues, including the individual island groups (e.g. Graham, Orkney). There is a touch of duplication (sometimes when both mint and used are present).

204 France and Colonies - A somewhat messy, but worthwhile eclectic offering of both France and numerous French Colonies, arranged on a stockpages, in packets and on numerous old album pages. Value laden throughout, including may early issues (with several more interesting postmarks noted). Expect the condition to be a bit mixed, but this should prove fruitful once sorted out. Estimate = $200.00 $10.00
205 French Colonies - A file folder worth of various French colonies and former colonies, from a series of bidboard and dealer purchases that were never unpacked. In no particular order, there are cards with general "Colonies" issues, Obock, 1980’s Wallis et Futuna imperforates, Egypt and China overprints, a small group of Martinique, some large mint blocks of various St. Pierre et Miquelon "Schooner" denominations, with a bit of Tunisia, and a touch of Monaco.

207 Germany, Germany-Berlin and some Luxembourg - Wide-ranging collection of used Germany in a pair of springback binders. Although the collection starts in the 1870’s and runs for about a century, the strength is in the immediate post-war issues (including some "back of the book"). A good-looking collection on quadrilled pages, with a bit of minor duplication because of cancel appeal (and maybe others that need a specialized collection). Finishes with a touch of Luxembourg. Owner’s reasonable looking catalogue value US$1962.00 = $2,648.70 $0.00
208 Gibraltar #1/642.

210 Great Britain #1. Beautiful duo of "Penny Blacks" with near perfect margins. Position "G-F" is a bit tight in the lower left corner but otherwise has a clean black "Maltese Cross" cancel. The second example, position "A-E" is a bright large, margined copy with a red cancel, but with a vertical crease that has been pressed out. Eye catching. 2024 Scott US$750.00 = $1,012.50 $10.00
211 Great Britain #1. Duo of "Penny Blacks" with three margins that are substantial. Position "P-L" has a light red "Maltese Cross" cancel and is cut into on the right-hand side. This is almost the same description for position "B-C", only the cutting in is less significant. An attractive duo. 2024 Scott US$750.00 = $1,012.50 $0.00
212 Great Britain #2. Fine+ used example of the "Tuppence Blue" on white paper, just a couple of millimeters short at the bottom, of being a four-margin copy. But with its solid black ink Maltese Cross cancel, position "P-G" this is still a worthwhile example of Great Britain’s second stamp. 2024 Scott US$975.00 = $1,316.25 $24.00
213 Great Britain #3/108. A collector’s Victorian-era duplicates and #33 plate study mounted on eight Stanley Gibbons pages. Most of the stamps are in black mounts with Scott numbers, plate numbers and old catalogue values penciled in. Includes nicer cancels (saw a "C" for "Constantinople" on #43a), and items that catalogue up to $140.00 each. There are patches with moderate to heavy duplication and the condition is definitely mixed. Most of the 2/6 and 5/- values have a perfin. Conservative 2024 Scott US$4387.00 = $5,922.45 $12.00
214 Great Britain #3/48. Start your early Great Britain collection off with these 23 beauties. Includes both papers of the 1d red imperforate, a lovely strip of 3 of the "Tuppence Blue" #4, and we noted better such as the re-engraved #20b, 26-28, 34, 39, 43, 45, 48. Some readable cancels and a couple of "wing margin" examples. Ovreall condition looks to be pretty good, but #11 appears to have been trimmed, and is not counted in the total catalogue value. 2024 Scott US$2653.00 = $3,581.55 $10.00
215 Great Britain #3/61. Assembly of 57 early 1841-1873 Victoria issues in generally fine, used condition with many different plate numbers where generally available. Some very nice stamps including a couple of higher value. Overall clean, but expect the odd minor fault. Owner's 2023 Scott US$5092.50 = $6,874.90 $15.00
216 Great Britain #5. Two used singles of Great Britain’s first 1sh stamp. One has perhaps the largest margined copy that we have ever seen with a "546" numeral cancel (Newcastle under Lyme), but alas there is some separation along the silk thread line in the lower right side. The other is a closer cut, but still complete example with a "784" numeral cancel (Tenby). A nice duo. 2024 Scott US$2000.00 = $2,700.00 $10.00
217 Great Britain #5, 28. Two better used QV Schilling items, including a full example of the 1847 1/- with a "723" numeral cancel (Southampton), with just a tiny notch out of the upper right corner. The second is a piece from a letter with two pairs of the 1/- #28 from 1856 with a "46 in diamond" cancel (Banbury). The piece is falling apart a bit and there is an interesting flaw on one of the stamps, as it looks almost hole punched, despite being in the middle of the piece (probably when the stamp was first attached ). Of note, the original cover this piece came from (4/- rate letter) would have really been something! Total 2024 Scott US$2600.00 = $3,510.00 $10.00
218 Great Britain #16/2006 plus Back of the Book. A pair of Davo albums hold this substantial 20th century, used collection (plus a bit of Queen Victoria) up to 2001. Includes some plates and shades from the Victorian period (overall decent condition, but a few are faulty), with KEVII to 5/-, multiple Seahorses to 10/-, both sets of the British Empire Exhibition, KGVI values to £1, a very complete Elizabethan run (lots of phosphors, but not many Machins). The back of the book includes officials, postage dues and regional issues. Over 1700 stamps here. One binder is the older "cloth" style and the other (marked III) is the current vinyl cover (this with slipcase). The pages are complete, most with many collector-added black mounts with hingeless pages after 1983. The albums alone would retail over $300.00, and there is thousands of dollars of catalogue value here. Estimate = $450.00 $10.00
219 Great Britain #28. Fine unused (no gum) example of the 1856 issue 1sh green, wmk 24 (Heraldic Emblems). What first appeared to us as a line across the top (and bottom left) is actually the watermark showing through. 2025 Scott Classic US$3500.00 = $4,725.00 $15.00
220 Great Britain #33 Plate 225. Fine used example of the rare Plate #225 of the 1864-1879 issue Penny Red, perf 14 x 14. Plate #225 is the last plate used for this issue. This particular stamp has a very clearly printed design, with a very legible and definite "225" plate marking (not usually the case), with the cancel well clear of the right hand plate number. Missing from most collections we see. Some crackling on the reverse from left-over original gum (could be soaked if desired). Here's your chance to get a premium quality stamp to complete your plate set. 2025 Scott US$875.00 = $1,181.25 $42.00
221 Great Britain #40. Fine unused (no gum) example of the 1862 issue 9p straw, watermark 24 (Heraldic Emblems). A seldom seen QV high-value. 2025 Scott Classic US$4500.00 = $6,075.00 $50.00
222 Great Britain #49/87. Two dozen mid-Victorian issues with easily readable plate numbers and some attractive cancels. Better stamps include #70 (plate 15), #73 and a basic set of the 1880-1881 issue (missing only the 6d grey value). Total 2024 Scott US$3725.00 = $5,028.75 $10.00
223 Great Britain #54. Fine Unused (no gum) example of the 1867 issue 1sh green (plate 4), watermark 25. Crisp colour and impression. 2025 Scott Classic US$1125.00 = $1,518.75 $11.00
224 Great Britain #57/109. Quartet of Queen Victoria higher values with the first 5/- from 1867 with the rose (#57 - plate 1), pale rose (#57a - plate 2) and the 1884 5/- and 10/- duo. All with usual oval cancels. #57 has a couple of short perfs, the rest are in typical condition for these issues. 2024 Scott US$3430.00 = $4,630.50 $0.00
225 Great Britain #62/108. Selection of 54 generally fine, used stamps 1873-1884 with many plate varieties included. All clearly identified by the previous owner. Of special interest is the #96, which is a Stanley Gibbons perfin with a light Registered cancellation. The stamp is superb in both centering and printing and shows how carefully the Company selected and used their postage for the benefit of their customers. Expect the odd small fault, but overall a very clean offering. Owner's 2023 Scott US$7016.15 = $9,471.80 $12.00
226 Great Britain #88/126. A half page of 27 different late-Victorian used issues, with the 1d "Inland Revenue" design with both 14 and 16 dots, both 1883 revalues, the 1883-84 definitives, missing only the 9d and a complete basic set of the Jubilee issue, with the re-issued colour change. While there might be a couple of minor faults, the overall appearance and condition appear to be quite nice. Total 2024 Scott US$2376.20 = $3,207.81 $0.00
227 Great Britain #112/122. F/VF mint hinged group of 8 different QV Jubilee issues, from the set of 12, but including the key-value 1sh green. A great start to a complete mint set, with most of the catalogue value of the set being present here. 2025 Scott US$589.25 = $795.50 $0.00
228 Great Britain #209. F/VF centered mint example of the 1929 issue KGV PUC Pound. OG Hinged with a couple of creases noticeable on the gum side, mentioned "for the record". Considered by many to be the most beautiful 20th century stamp issue. Missing from most GB collections we see. 2025 Scott US$750.00 = $1,012.50 $80.00
229 Great Britain #O28/O41. Selection of "Gov’t Parcels" official overprints on 13 different used Queen Victoria and King Edward VII stamps. Includes three of four values from the 1883 definitives (with the 6d and 9d), a complete run of the Jubilee issue (with both versions of the 1/-). Usual slightly heavier cancels (as they were for parcel usage), and some minor faults expected. They look good but have to be sold "as-is". Total 2024 Scott US$4670.00 = $6,304.50 $10.00
230 Great Britain - Terrific bankers box of leftovers from a local estate. If you like equal parts value and chaos, this is for you. Yes, there is a used 2+ margin Penny Black, assorted used definitives from Queen Victoria through to the Machins, as well as some mint King George V definitives. Saw a stockpage of Seahorses, and way more back of the book than you would normally expect to see, especially postage dues and official overprints. There is even a bit of modern material with presentation packs and a James Bond premium booklet. To help you along with this is a stockbook with used Machins and two very recent Stanley Gibbons 4-ring binders with regular pages from 1993-2010 and collector added mounts. Thousands of dollars of catalogue value here, but very little order, so bring your patience and your sorting skills. Estimate = $250.00 $13.00
231 Great Britain Overseas Offices - Over the past year, we have been breaking up an extensive estate with multiple collections and better sets and pieces of British issues with various overprints. This is the balance of that holding, with mounted collections, dealer cards, even a bit of loose material. Morocco Agencies, MEF, EAF, Bahrain, Levant, etc. A mix of mint and used, multiple currencies, from QV to the early QEII issues, some sets, lots of singles, and a bit of light duplication (and maybe some mixed condition). Almost all is unidentified, so we expect lots of better items to still be here. Estimate = $150.00 $26.00
232 Grenada #1/754, J1/J14, MR1-MR2. Attractive mounted collection of primarily used stamps mounted on quadrilled pages. Includes some nice QV "Chalons" and some "keyplates" up to King George V, with some nice commemorative and "common design" issues. Very light after 1970, so this is perfect for the "classics" collector. There is a bit of duplication and a couple with manuscript cancels may be revenues. A nice selection of early postage dues adds to this collection’s appeal. Total 2024 Scott US$695.45 = $938.87 $0.00
233 Hong Kong #4/70. Four dozen mostly different, used, Queen Victoria issues nicely displayed on three quadrilled pages. Clean, nice cancels (including "Treaty Port"), some different shades, overprints (including one with a corporate "chop" and the 1891 Jubilee), with only the usual minor faults. Bonus item is #21 with an inverted watermark, catalogued in Stanley Gibbons at £200.00, but we have counted it at the regular Scott catalogue price. 2024 Scott US$1441.10 = $1,945.49 $24.00
234 Hong Kong #8/214 plus extras. An organized and diverse offering of 486 stamps from the 1863-1962 period 99% used selection organized and identified on 9 Hagner brand stockpages. While duplicated and with some faulty stamps noted, there is a nice variety of postmarks here, including several better "socked on the nose". A small group of Revenue Stamps and Postage Dues were not counted in the owner's catalogue value. Take a good look at the scans to appreciate the condition of the earlier issues. Owner's 2025 Scott US$2752.05 = $3,715.25 $130.00
235 Hong Kong #71/872. Twentieth-century mounted collection with a nice group of KEVII definitives up to the post-handover issues of 1999. Lots of $20-$60 items and more with #124, 135, most of the King George VI definitives. The Elizabethan era includes many of the "Lunar" issues with a number both mint and used and through the 1970's-1990's the issues are only used including a few postally used souvenir sheets. Condition is generally decent, with a few nicer cancels noted. The postally used 1980s (and later) issues tend to be wrinkled, but a re-soaking would likely solve that. The only minor blemish on a fine offering. Total 2024 Scott US$1255.65 = $1,695.13 $46.00
236 Hong Kong #650a, 651Al, 651Bm. Three mint Never Hinged souvenir sheets in opened post office packs. From the 1992-1997 "Machin" type issues, from the "Hong Kong Classics" series (#7, #8 and #9). A very popular series, with a catalogue value of US$38.50 per individual set of sheets. We believe the packages are quite intact but are going to count them as being only 90% present. 2024 Scott US$3,465.00 = $4,677.50 $55.00
237 Hong Kong - Large block with 21 mint copies of the 12c brown King George V on yellow paper with a "10 Cents/Stamp/Duty/(characters)" overprint. Although you only see 19 stamps, there are two stuck to the back, which affects a total of 8 stamps (so 13 are in decent shape, most being never hinged with some minor gum disturbance). This was apparently a local production, and a tough KGV revenue stamp. Perfect for a display, to break up or both. (Barefoot #135). Estimate = $300.00 $10.00
238 Hong Kong - Unpicked pre-Elizabethan, mostly used holding including lots of Queen Victoria issues, to $1.00 with overprints, treaty port cancels. The lot jumps to King George V with definitives to $5.00, some 1935 Jubilees. King George VI includes a random group of mint duplicated definitives and some partial sheets from the lower values of the 1941 Centenary issue (all with various degrees of toning) and most of the Centenary set in used blocks. The lot concludes with an assortment of "China" overprints on King George V issues to $2.00, with a couple of blocks, all unchecked for watermarks. Great lot for discovery or stock building. Estimate = $180.00 $24.00
239 India - Group of roughly 275 India covers and cards, noting a good mix of material including roughly 125 first day covers, generally ranging from the mid 1960's to the 1970's (mostly with Bombay G.P.O. postmarks), along with postal stationery, book post, printed matter, airmail, and more. An interesting lot of this very popular collecting area, with perhaps some finds for the dedicated collector. Some faults and toning noted on some of the covers, overall fine to better. Estimate = $150.00 $0.00
240 Indonesia #2L2/2L54, 2LC1. Sumatra issues in large blocks and complete panes with 28 out of the 54 issues from the 1946-1947 period. Includes shades, a couple of sheets have an extra row of perforations. There are anywhere from 50 to 450 of each stamp, with catalogue values up to $35.00 each. Most have no gum as issued and condition is a bit mixed, but add up to a colossal catalogue value. Total 2024 Scott US$22047.40 = $29,763.99 $0.00
241 Indonesia - A wide-ranging bundle of mint, starting with a block of 30 of the 60 cent Queen Wilhelmina Netherland-Indies issue with a Japanese occupation overprint. There is a small accumulation of 1949 UPU souvenir sheets including perforated and imperforate, with the regular and overprints for "RIS", "RIS Merdeka" and "RIS Djarkarta". There is a jump to the early 1990's with a number of "new issue" purchases including sets, souvenir sheets and sheetlets still in their original glassine envelopes. Finally, there are 10 blocks of four with the "RIAU" archipelago overprint (these catalogue $140.00). Condition is good, with the backs ranging from never hinged to minor hinge remnants. Estimate = $150.00 $0.00
242 Iran - Large blocks and complete panes of mostly 1980's post-Revolution era issues, laden with the types of themes that one would expect from this region and time period. Fresh, never hinged, many are folded to fit into a stationery box (which is mostly full). Lots of se-tenant issues, and a catalogue value that will sneak up on you quickly. Not often seen material. Estimate = $150.00 $0.00
243 Iraq #44-60. Complete used and mint (2 values, both never hinged) set of the 1932 "King Faisal I" series of 17 different values. The examples of #49 and 53 are mint, with the remainder being CDS cancel used. All neatly arranged in mounts on a computer generated album page. 2025 Scott US$231.05 = $311.90 $10.00
244 Iraq #112/127 Souvenir Sheets. VF mint Never Hinged examples of the 1948 King Faisal II issue souvenir sheets (both the perforated and imperforate varieties), with Coat of Arms and Arabic inscriptions. Some wrinkles on the LR corner of the perforated sheet, but much better than we have seen before. Listed as a footnote under the listing in the catalogue. 2025 Scott US$200.00 = $270.00 $0.00
245 Iraq #141a. Pristine mint Never Hinged souvenir sheet of the 1953 King Faisal II Coronation issue. Hard to find this nice and undervalued (in our opinion) in the catalogue. 2025 Scott US$115.00 = $155.25 $10.00
246 Iraq #C1-C8. Pristine VF mint Never Hinged examples of the 1949 Airmail series, in both the issued perforated and imperforate souvenir sheets. We have not seen a set this pristine before. Undervalued compared to how seldom we see these. 2025 Scott US$160.00 = $216.00 $0.00
247 Iraq #O55-O71. Complete set of the 1932 "King Faisal I", Official Stamp series of 17 different values. All CDS cancel used, with the exception of #O67, which is mint never hinged. All neatly arranged in mounts on computer generated page. 2025 Scott US$175.05 = $236.30 $10.00
248 Iraq #O72-O89. Complete mint (never hinged) and used (4 stamps) set of the 1934-1938 King Ghazi, Official Stamp series of 18 different values. Not valued in Scott as Never Hinged, which would surely come at a premium. The used stamps here are #O72, O77, O79 and O83. All neatly arranged in mounts on computer generated page. 2025 Scott US$162.80 = $219.80 $10.00
249 Ireland - Small, pre-1965, collection with fragments from two albums, with lots of KGV overprints (including from the first series), mostly used and some later being mint, and many commemorative issues through the 1960’s, the last few years with a mint selection, including a few "Europa" sets. Includes a few multiples, and some back of the book. A bit of overlap between the album pages will result in a bit of duplication. Individual items with catalogue values to $40.00. Estimate = $140.00 $0.00
250 Italy - Collection of mint and used Italy, 1862-1994, with roughly 1,400 different stamps in 14 double sided Vario-style stock pages. Just a few of the better stamps, sets, and partial sets include Scott #s 20 (used), 33 (used, c.v. $90), 37-44 (used, $114 total), 58-63 (used, $156 total), 119-121 (mh, $71 total), 165-168 (mh, $88 total), along with stamps, sets, and partial sets cataloguing from $10 to $35 and up. Owner's 2025 Scott catalogue totals $3,019 up to 1945 only. A nice lot for the Italy or worldwide collector. A few faults with a few of the stamps, overall a fine to very fine collection. Estimate = $250.00 $160.00
251 Italy - Nice collection of early Italy postal history, with 55 covers (including a few fronts), all franked with issues from 1863 to 1879, noting a nice variety of postmarks including numeral cancels, handstamps, rates and destinations. A nice little stack that packs a punch for postal history collectors and Italy enthusiasts. A few faults noted, overall fine to better. Estimate = $150.00 $0.00
252 Italy and Colonies - Small accumulation from a local estate with a couple of envelopes of loose, used Trieste AMG overprints, including the first large overprints and some back of the book. There is a page of Tripolitania overprints and some issues from Eritrea, plus a few other miscellaneous items. Lots of catalogue value here. Estimate = $140.00 $0.00
253 Jamaica #1/826. A thorough mounted used collection that includes some specialization with lots of shades, perforations and a bit of cancel interest. Very good coverage from the first issues to 1980 (and then sparse for another 15 years), noting many $5.00 - $40.00 stamps (we catalogued the first page alone at $343.15), with #99, the 1935 Silver Jubilee issue, 141, the first two QEII sets, etc.) The condition appears to be excellent, with only a couple revenue cancels noted. Most have been annotated with Scott numbers and (old) catalogue prices. Estimate = $200.00 $10.00
254 Japan #283a/#575a. Sextet of mint souvenir sheets, including three "National Parks" issues 1938, 1940 (damage, with significant adhesion to an album page that will likely require soaking to remove) and 1952, along with the "Japan Fair" imperf sheetlet of 20 and the Akhito 1952 souvenir sheet. Most are nice in appearance and have hinging to varying degrees, including a couple with hinge remnants. Total 2024 Scott US$589.00 = $795.15 $0.00
255 Japan - Accumulation of roughly 225 Japan covers, generally ranging from the 1960's to the 2010's (did spot a few earlier ones), noting a mixture of commercial and commemorative covers, notably covers sent to British Columbia. A spot check revealed mostly first day covers (singles, sets, and a few souvenir sheet frankings), flight covers, printed matter, illustrated cachets, and more. Plenty of opportunities for thematic and topical collectors, noting many lovely stamp designs. A few covers are sleeved with retail pricing in the $5 and under range. Overall fine to very fine. Estimate = $120.00 $0.00
256 Japan - Consignment balance, including a nice range of war and post-war souvenir sheets (includes #318a (damaged), 408, 423, 437, 438, B11) complete booklet with 1941 #261a, and a couple of pages of used classics up to about 1962. Always popular, an attractive grouping. Estimate = $130.00 $0.00
257 Japan - Modern mounted collection on computer-generated pages from 1950 to 2000 (for Japan) and 1989-2007 (for the "Prefecture" issues). The main Japan section has a bit of mounted material from the 1960’s, but it also has 16 Vario brand pages with a range of mint issues, folders, a few recent mint souvenir sheets, and a couple of tourist folders, and several stockpages of assorted material going back to the early 20th century. The "Prefecture" issues are much stronger, with about 500 different, representing a significant completeness of used singles up to 2006, including some attempts to recreate booklet stamps. We don’t often see lots this modern, and the prefecture issues have some lovely topical themes. Estimate = $180.00 $28.00
258 Korea #132/173. Near complete set of the 1951-1952 Nations and Flags imperforate souvenir sheets (missing only Greece). Fresh, never hinged, and seemingly fault free. A desirable and popular early Korean issue, which we don’t often see this complete. Opportunities to buy this many at once, in this nice of condition don't happen often! Pro-rata 2024 Scott US$1335.00 = $1,802.25 $0.00
259 Korea - Small group from both Koreas, the Republic (South) issues include a mint block of 30 of #67, a page with several mint blocks from the early 1960’s definitives, a dozen 1980’s semi-postal Olympics souvenir sheets, a presentation folder for Presidential visit to Canada (signed on multiple pages by Ed Schreyer, Governor General) and a 1985 year set. North Korean material is from the 1990’s with about 40 souvenir sheets and a group of singles. Most looks to be mint never hinged. A bit unusual. Estimate = $150.00 $0.00
260 Korea DPR #28. Complete mint Never Hinged full-sheet of 100 of the 2w red, blue and black, 1950 "Flags, Soldier" issue to mark the 5th Anniversary of Liberation from Japan. Folded in the centre, this sheet has been well-stored and comes from an old-time collection of Korea. Valued as 100 singles, but surely should be worth more as a full sheet. 2024 Scott US$500.00 = $675.00 $10.00
261 Korea DPR #29. Complete mint Never Hinged full-sheet of 100 of the 6w green, 1950 "Peasant and Worker" issue to mark the 5th Anniversary of Liberation from Japan. Folded in the centre, this sheet has been well-stored and comes from an old-time collection of Korea. Valued as 100 singles, but surely should be worth more as a full sheet. 2024 Scott US$650.00 = $877.50 $10.00
262 Korea DPR - Visually intriguing and provocative seemingly all-different selection of 225 stamps and 26 souvenir sheets / panes from the 1967-1995 period, neatly arranged on 15 Vario brand stockpages. All are CTO (cancelled to order), but that is about the only way to find these issues. Full of topicals, but also reminiscent of issues from other communist idealistic countries. Estimate = $120.00 $10.00
263 Laos #1-17, C2-C4, J1-J7, 91a, B11a, 255A. Striking mint Never Hinged souvenir sheet holding including 26 sheets from the 1952 issues (the majority of the lot), plus a few later examples (1964-1971, 91a, B11a, 255A). The usual odd handing bend, but seldom seen material, especially this clean. 2025 Scott US$313.50 = $423.25 $0.00
264 Laos - Three-part collection. The best is a pair of presentation folders: the 1962 mail delivery set of four souvenir sheets and the 1964 "Neutral" mini-sheet (catalogues $395.00). The second is a set of Minkus pages with a near-complete run of mint stamps and a few souvenir sheets, including from the back of the book, from 1951-1970. The last is a set of computer-generated pages from 1967-2004 that has only a few stamps from the 1980's. A popular Asian collecting area that generally won’t break the bank! Estimate = $160.00 $22.00
265 Malaya and Area - Old-time collector holding of Straits Settlements, Malaya and Malaya States on original album pages. A diverse mostly used assembly, with some duplication (and likely the odd small fault), with a total of 1103 stamps including "back of the book" from the 1867-1955 period. Catalogued with catalogue numbers added, otherwise untouched for 25+ years. 2025 Scott US$1845.65 $2,491.60 $100.00
266 Malta #3 Shades. High-quality mint offering of 5x Queen Victoria 1863-1880 perf 14 (watermark 1) 1/2p values in a variety of shades. Scott catalogue lists 9 different shades, including the basic "yellow buff", with catalogue prices ranging from US$90.00 to US$450.00. Hinge marks are reasonable, with one being no-gum, but also another being Never Hinged. A great research group, of which we have catalogued all as the basic (lowest value) shade. 2025 Scott US$450.00 = $607.50 $11.00
267 Malta #8-13, 9a, 11b, 20, 20a. Attractive mint hinged group of 11 QV issues. Starting with the complete 1885 set of six stamps, plus the Scott listed sub-listing shades of the 1p rose and 2.5p dull blue. This is followed by the 1902 "One Penny" surcharge, plus Scott listed variety "Prney" overprint in a pair the correct overprint beside. 2025 Scott US$370.00 = $499.50 $10.00
268 Malta #14, 17-18. F/VF mint trio of large format Victorian issues including the 1886 issued 5sh rose "Queen Victoria with Maltese Cross", and 1899 issued 2sh6p "Malta" and 10sh "St.Paul after Shipwreck" set. Both #14/17 are OG hinge-remnant, but the 10sh is Never Hinged. 2025 Scott US$282.50 = $381.40 $11.00
269 Malta #21-24, 26-27, 28-45. Impressive mint hinged run of Edward VII issues, including an almost complete set of the 1903-1904 series (6 stamps, only missing the 3p value, cat $2.25) and followed by a complete set of the 1904-1911 series (18 stamps). A couple very minor faults (couple of toning spots, one heavy hinge, bit of gum loss), but overall a very clean offering. 2025 Scott US$545.50 = $736.45 $10.00
270 Malta #49-62, 59a, 66-72, MR1-MR2. F/VF mint hinged (mostly lightly) group of the 1914-1922 George V issues, including a complete set of the 1914-1921 series (11 stamps), plus the sub-listed #59a (1sh black and blue-green, olive back), followed by the 1921-1922 set complete to the 2sh value and the 1918 overprinted "WAR TAX" issues (MR1-MR2). A lovely run of stamps. 2025 Scott US$417.90 = $564.15 $10.00
271 Malta #77-84. Complete mint Hinged (and Never Hinged) set of the 1922 George V "Self-Government" OVPT set on ordinary / chalky paper, with 21mm overprint in black. All are quite reasonably hinged, with the exception of the 5sh high-value, which is Never Hinged. A pretty set. 2025 Scott US$417.50 = $563.65 $10.00
272 Malta #85. F/VF mint hinged example of the 1922 "Self-Government" overprinted 10sh blue black "St.Paul after Shipwreck" high-value, with red overprint. A very attractive example of this sought-after stamp. 2025 Scott US$250.00 = $337.50 $11.00
273 Malta #86-93. Complete mint Hinged set of the 1922 George V "Self-Government" OVPT set on ordinary / chalky paper, with 22mm and 28mm overprints in red. All are quite reasonably hinged. A continuation from the previous lots. 2025 Scott US$256.20 = $345.90 $10.00
274 Malta #98-114, 115, 116-126, 128-129. F/VF mint hinged (mostly lightly) group of the 1922-1926 "Malta" and "Britannia and Malta" series, including the complete 1922-1926 regular set (1/4p to £1.00, 17 values), plus the 1925 surcharge and near a complete set (only missing the 2sh6p) of the 1926 "POSTAGE" overprint set. Only missing one $20.00 catalogue value stamp to make a complete run! 2025 Scott US$444.90 = $600.60 $22.00
275 Malta #1. The 1863 issue unwatermarked half penny buff. Fine and sound, mint no gum. A key British Commonwealth classic issue. Conservatively valued as the lower used price in Scott. 2025 Scott US$425.00 = $573.75 $13.00
276 Mauritius #8/837. Used, Queen Victoria heavy, mounted collection with Britannia design, various definitive issues (including revalues) with some of the "Coat of Arms" set and some "Keyplates", the Silver Wedding high value including better singles such as a forgery of #10, 2 copies of #18, #41. Attractively laid out with Scott numbers penciled in. The sets become "short" from King George VI and there is not much after 1975. Perfect for the "classics" collector. Estimate = $140.00 $0.00
277 Mesopotamia #N1. F/VF mint, lightly hinged example of the 1917 WWI British Occupied Territory overprinted "IN BRITISH / OCCUPATION / BAGHDAD" 1/4a on 2pa red lilac, surcharge on Turkey #254.

VF mint hinged / hinge remnant example of the 1917 WWI British Occupied Territory overprinted "IN BRITISH / OCCUPATION / BAGHDAD" 1/2a on 10pa carmine, surcharge on Turkey #346, perf 12.5. Some minor toning on the perfs, mentioned "for the record". Scarce material, from the estate of a Canadian living in the Middle East. 2025 Scott US$1000.00 = $1,350.00 $10.00
285 Mesopotamia #N12. VF mint hinged / hinge remnant example of the 1917 WWI British Occupied Territory overprinted "IN BRITISH / OCCUPATION / BAGHDAD" 1/2a on 10pa carmine, surcharge on Turkey #347, perf 13.5.

286 Mesopotamia #N16, N17. F/VF mint lightly-hinged examples of the 1917 WWI British Occupied Territory overprinted "IN BRITISH / OCCUPATION / BAGHDAD" 1/2a and 1a surcharges on Turkish stamps. Suffice to say, we don’t see these often! From the estate of a Canadian living in the Middle East. 2025 Scott US$1300.00 = $1,755.00 $10.00
287 Mesopotamia #NO1-NO13, NO22. F/VF used (and one mint hinged) complete set of the 1920 "ON STATE SERVICE" , "IN BRITISH / OCCUPATION / BAGHDAD" overprinted British Occupied Territory Official Stamp set of 13 values (no watermark). All used with the exception of NO1. Also included is a mint hinged example of the 1922 issued 1r on 10pi surcharge, on the same issue. A nice complete "long set". 2025 Scott US$392.25 = $529.55 $13.00
288 Mesopotamia #NO14-NO21. F/VF mint hinged (and one used) complete set of the 1921-1922 "ON STATE SERVICE" , "IN BRITISH / OCCUPATION / BAGHDAD" overprinted British Occupied Territory Official Stamp set of 8 values (watermark 4). All mint with the exception of NO15, which is CDS used. 2025 Scott US$220.95 = $298.30 $10.00
289 Mesopotamia #NO21. VF used example of the 1921-1922 "ON STATE SERVICE" overprinted / surcharged 2r on 25pi olive green, watermarked (wmk 4). A choice example of this Official series high-value. 2025 Scott US$165.00 = $222.75 $13.00
290 Montserrat #1/994 plus Back of the Book. Substantial (mostly used) pre-2000 collection on quadrilled pages. Starts with a couple of overprints on Antiguan stamps, with some "Symbol of the Colony", Common Design issues and quite complete from King George VI onwards. The QEII is remarkably complete, including many OHMS overprints and there are three pages of mint 1980s issues with "Specimen" overprints. Better singles include #2, 4, 7, 103, 126 but many of the sets and souvenir sheets from the 1990s catalogue $7.00 - $15.00 each (after about 1980 most used are philatelic cancels). There is a bit of duplication, sometimes due to mint and used, sometimes for shades. About 90% of the lot is used, and expect the mint to be hinged. Massive catalogue value here. Estimate = $200.00 $10.00
291 Natal #95, 114. F/VF mint hinged duo of Edward VII high-values including the 10sh brown and deep rose (1902-1903 series, watermark 1) and the 5sh red and green on yellow paper (1908-1909 series, watermark 3). An attractive pair. 2025 Scott US$160.00 = $216.00 $0.00
292 Netherlands - Group of roughly 250 Netherlands postal history in a plastic tub, containing a wide range of material including commercial mail, first flights, military mail, postage due, postal stationery, postcards, first day covers, and more, including covers from Netherlands Antilles and Suriname. The material appears to range from the 1930's to the 1970's, with covers possible on either side of the given range. A nice cover lot for the postal history enthusiast, overall fine to very fine. Estimate = $140.00 $0.00
293 Netherlands Colonies - A dealer’s unprocessed holding of various mounted collections, stamps on card or in glassine or "loose", that just never got dealt with over a 40-year period. We only scratched the surface with three mounted collections of used Netherlands Indies, a couple of pouches of miscellaneous material, including "Java" overprints, a few Japanese occupation overprints (with a small booklet to help with identification), UNTEA overprints, some Suriname and a group of c.1960 Dutch New Guinea mint blocks. There are groups that look like they were set aside because of their cancels. Expect some duplication and some mixed condition. This will take a bit of time to sort out, but there looks to be lots of worthwhile material here. Estimate = $160.00 $0.00
294 New Hebrides #17-49, J1-J5. Complete run of all of the "Native Idol" 1911-1925 issues, including all surcharges and Postage Due issues. A very clean offering of almost all mint lightly-hinged, with the exception of #27 and #J1-5 which are used. This series came out in four sets (including the Postage Due series) and with 9 different surcharge stamps. Undervalued in Scott compared to how seldom we see these. 2025 Scott US$317.25 = $428.30 $10.00
295 New Zealand - Group of roughly 300 New Zealand covers in a few albums and mostly loose material. We note mostly first day covers, ranging from the 1930's to the 1980's, along with military mail (noting censor tapes and handstamps, appearing to be sent to the United States), commemorative mail, postal stationery, commercial mail, etc. Many of the covers have been sleeved, with retail pricing in the $3 range each. An interesting lot, with many coloutful cachets and sets frankings, with a few faults on a few of the commercial and military covers, overall fine to very fine. Estimate = $120.00 $10.00
296 North Borneo and Labuan - An old-time mint and (mostly) used arrangement of 329 stamps from Labuan 1892-1903 (118 stamps, cat US$1313.65) and North Borneo 1886-1947 (211 stamps, cat US$405.15) still arranged on the previous owner's old album pages. These have not been touched in 20+ years! A few small faults / duplication and probably the odd old forgery (Labuan #66c likely a forgery), but still an excellent opportunity for study here. 2025 Scott US$1718.80 = $2,320.40 $10.00
297 North Borneo, Sarawak and Straits Settlements - While the first two are somewhat limited in quantity, the Straits Settlement group is fairly comprehensive. Includes two and a half pages of clean sound and well-identified North Borneo #35/288, (1887-1961), also B31/B41 and J24 with forgeries shown at the end (not valued). The Sarawak comprises of #2/209, (1871-1955), with 53 stamps, mainly used with a few mint hinged on a single page. Last (but not lease) the Straits Settlements #6/271, (1867-1948), with 163 stamps on two and a half pages, mint hinged and used (some both), with a few scarcer. Owner's total 2023 Scott US$876.70 = $1,183.50 $11.00
298 Paraguay #330/1555. Large mint blocks and complete panes from four different issues. Starts with the three low values from the "Flag of the Race" set of 1933 (2 panes of each, heavily curled with separation). The 1940 "Second Conference" issue has 13 to 91 copies of each denomination (emphasis on the higher values). The 1951 Economic Conference overprinted blocks have 50 sets. Then there is a jump to the 1974 UPU issue with 90 complete sets. Condition is mixed, and some pressing will be required. Total 2024 Scott US$1894.00 = $2,496.15 $0.00
299 Peru #357/371, C17/C48. The lengthy Peruvian "Scenery" set of 1936 had nineteen values added the following year in 1937, both for the regular and airmail set. This lot encompasses all of those stamps, each mint never hinged, overprinted "Muestra" (translating as either "sample" or "specimen") plus the four stamp 1937 air mail set for the "Inter-American Technical Conference" also overprinted "Muestra". Total of 23 stamps. Estimate = $150.00 $11.00
300 Portugal #315-345. Complete mint 1924 set honoring the poet Luis de Camoens, with all 31 values overprinted "Specimen". Likely came from an archive, as the lower values are stuck to paper and the higher values have no gum (indicating that they have already been soaked from their backing paper). An attractive fresh page. We struggled to find any on-line reference to this printing. Potentially a very conservative estimate at less than $5.00 per stamp. Estimate $150.00 $0.00
301 Rhodesia #1/139. A quartet of quadrilled album pages with 89 pre-WWI used issues, starting fast with a nice group of the "Coat of Arms" issue to the 10/- (#15 - catalogues $110.00), the "Seal of the Colony" to 5/-, overprints and a dozen "Double Heads" and King George V "Admiral". Includes shades, perforation varieties and a few readable cancels. Expect minor faults, but the appearance and condition are quite good. Total 2024 Scott US$1140.40 = $1,539.54 $10.00
302 Romania - Eclectic hodge-podge of early Romania, mostly used and mostly from the pre-WWII period. As assembled by the consignor, with the earliest material being arranged and identified on a double-sided Vario stocksheet, with the remainder being on pages removed from numerous albums. While expect the odd fault and perhaps an old-time forgery or two. The owner conservatively estimates the Scott catalogue value to be at least US$500.00. A fun sort ahead for the intrepid collector. Estimate = $120.00 $10.00
303 Saint Vincent #1B/1545. Part 1: A very full binder with a mounted collection of St. Vincent up to 1991 (or "Classics" to "Topicals"). The QV to King George VI issues are mostly used but includes some overlapping mint. The first couple of pages include a number of better QV issues (catalogue values to $250.00), including shades and perforation varieties. The Queen Elizabeth portion is almost all used and very complete, including souvenir sheets, with lots of underappreciated material that is commanding bigger catalogue values. Most usages after 1980 are philatelic. Finishes with 2 stockpages with 1980s "Specimen" overprinted stamps and two more with overprinted souvenir sheets. Expect some mixed condition amongst the earlier. Estimated value = $260.00 $11.00
304 Saint Vincent plus Grenadines, Union Island #1546/1776. Part 2: The Saint Vincent continues from the previous lot with one third of a 26-page stockbook filled with 1992-1993 used sets and souvenir sheets, including some "Grenadines". The binder includes a decent run of used issues, with topical interest including "Sealife", "Disney", "Transportation" "Royals" "Music", among many others. Lots of Souvenir sheets, and a bit of "Specimen" overprinted material, plus a touch of "Union" Islands issues from the 1980's. Although this material was overlooked in its day, check out the catalogue values where $7.00-$15.00 a set is the norm. Great way to expand your British Caribbean collection. Estimate = $160.00 $0.00
305 San Marino #1708/1857. We don’t see modern San Marino very often, and this lot has five consecutive annual stamp folders with regular issues, souvenir sheets and sheetlets from 2007-2011. Includes the "Famous People" issues, as well as many thematic themed issues (e.g. sports, flowers, architecture). A very compact production with substantial original cost. Total 2024 Scott US$548.25 = $740.14 $10.00
306 South Africa - Group of several hundred covers and cards from South Africa and area, filling a plastic tub, with material generally ranging from the 1930's to the 1980's. A cursory check indicated a few hundred South Africa specific covers noting first day covers, air letters, maximum cards, commercial airmail, postal stationery, registered rates, and more, along with roughly 100 commercial covers from Swaziland (#10 sized envelopes). A few faults with a few of the covers, overall an interesting lot. Estimate = $120.00 $0.00
307 Spanish Colonies - Four different colonies organized onto loose stockbook pages. The best is Morocco, with a full offering of mostly mint material with better such as #12-13, #37-38, #50-51, 291 plus the original set of the 1928 printing with #93/107, E4 with "Muestra" overprint, plus a good run of semi-postals and airmails. There is some Guinea, Tangier and Rio Muni material generally post WWII with some back of the book - more mint than used. We don’t see this type of material that often. The several hundred stamps are in decent condition, but the stockbook had apparently behaved badly and had its cover removed and the pages separated into three sections, so some immediate rehousing is recommended. Estimate = $170.00 $10.00
308 Switzerland #36/366 plus Back of the Book. An older collection of used issues from 1858-1978 in a green Stanley Gibbons "Tower" springback album, with a nice assortment of regular issues and semi-postals, airmails and a few postage dues. Starts with the Seated Helvetia issues with solid coverage over the next 100+ years, with a good range of Pro-Juventute semi-postals. Includes a bit of duplication for shades and cancels. A trip through your Zumstein might help out. A bit of mixed condition to be expected, but the first impression is of a solid collection. Owner’s conservative catalogue value US$3021.00 = $4,038.75 $10.00
309 Syria #133-136, 166-169. Duo of complete mint hinged 1924 Olympics surcharge / overprint sets (being the complete run of 1924 French Syria, Olympics issues). Nice to get these all at once. Reasonable hinging, but some gum disturbance. 2025 Scott US$236.00 = $318.60 $10.00
310 Syria #C14-C17. Complete used set of the 1923 "Postepar Avion / Syrie - Grand Liban" overprint (type C) French stamp overprinted airmail series. Nice to get complete. 2025 Scott US$140.00 = $189.00 $0.00
311 Syria #C57-C66. Complete mint Lightly Hinged set of the 1934 "Airplane over Village of Bloudan" airmail series of 10 stamps. Post Office fresh colour and very lightly hinged. A premium set. 2025 Scott US$275.50 = $371.95 $0.00
312 Syria #C141a, C143a, C156a. VF mint Never Hinged trio of 1947-1949 Airmail issue souvenir sheets, including the 1947 Arab Archeological Congress, 1947 Congress of Arab Engineers and 1949 Election of President Husni Zayim. A bit of minor toning, but with pristine gum. Seldom seen. 2025 Scott US$315.00 = $425.25 $0.00
313 Syria - Collection of mint and used Syria 1919-1964, with several hundred stamps in hingeless mounts on roughly 75 well described homemade printed pages. The collection begins with a mixture of mint and used singles and sets from the French Mandate, including overprints, airmails and more, with majority of mint singles and sets from the 1940s onwards, with owners notations including Scott and or Stanley Gibbons numbers for each stamp. Scott catalogue totals US$1,572.00, noting several sets cataloguing $20 to $40 and up each. The collection also includes a few hundred stamps on well filled stock pages which appear to be the owner's duplicates (not counted in the beforementioned catalogue value). A nice clean collection, ideal for collectors and specialists. Overall fine to very fine. Estimate = $300.00 $10.00
314 Syria Levant #M4/MCB2. Interesting mint Lightly Hinged / Never Hinged Military Stamp selection of 13 stamps and both the perforated / imperforate souvenir sheets issued in 1942-1943. The souvenir sheets are Never Hinged, with the stamps lightly hinged. Interesting material. 2025 Scott US$188.60 = $254.60 $0.00
315 Thailand - Group of roughly 350 Thailand first day covers in a small box. We note mostly singles and sets frankings, along with many pictorial cancels and colourful cachets. Ideal for the thematic and topical collectors as we encountered several subjects including space, nature, buildings, and much more. A few post cards and postal stationery items found within, clean and very fine. Estimate = $100.00 $16.00
316 Tonga #CE7-CE12. Complete VF mint Never Hinged set of the 2015-2016 Kingdom of Tonga "Butterflies" single stamps. Seldom seen material as "new issues" due to the high face value of these stamps (total $361.00 Tongan Dollars = $215.00 CDN Dollars). 2025 Scott US$325.00 = $438.75 $10.00
317 Tonga #CE10a, CA12a. VF mint Never Hinged examples of both the large format souvenir sheets of the 2015-2016 Kingdom of Tonga "Butterflies" series.

Seldom seen material as "new issues" due to the high face value of these stamps (total $361.00 Tongan Dollars = $215.00 CDN Dollars). 2025 Scott US$325.00 = $438.75 $0.00
319 Tonga / Tonga Niuafo'ou - Complete matched VF mint Never Hinged sets of the 2012 Airmail Special Delivery "Barn Owl" series of four stamps. Tonga #CE2-CE5, Tongia Niuafo'ou #CE1-CE4. A nice matched set, which many collectors avoided at time of issue due to high face value, only to be unable to find them years later. 2025 Scott US$184.00 = $248.40 $0.00
320 Tonga Niuafo'ou #CE6-CE11. Complete VF mint Never Hinged set of the 2015-2016 Kingdom of Tonga Niuafo'ou "Butterflies" series of single stamps.

323 USA - Accumulation of roughly 1,500 United States first day and commemorative covers filling a bankers box. The covers generally range from the late 1930's up to the late 1980's, with the vast majority being first day covers, noting single, pairs, blocks, sets, booklet panes, back of the book, and souvenir sheet frankings, some having private maker cachets. The lot also includes first flight and space related covers, along with roughly 15 first day covers signed by notable people, including Bob Hope, Jimmy Stewart, Shelley Winters, and more. Clean and very fine. Estimate = $150.00 $0.00
324 USA - Interesting and diverse consignment balance in a bankers box. The best is probably the shoe box that has a "dealer/investor" stock from the early 1980's with plate blocks from the 1930's-1950's (there is some value here, just nowhere near what it was 45 years ago!), with the balance of the box having a 1900-1970 used accumulation with a respectable amount of "back of the book", and 4 mint never hinged duck stamps RW51/RW57. There is a small group of 1945-1960 mint panes in a mint sheet file, some 20c-34c sheetlets/panes, and some precancel material (both loose and mounted), finishing off with some 1960s US and UN cacheted First Day Covers.

Wonderful United States military correspondence all sent to Mr. William Ludwig (a few sent to "Mrs. Ludwig"), with roughly 225 covers, ranging from 1942 to 1945, when he was addressed as Private, then Corporal, and later Sargent. The bonus with this lot is that every cover contains the letter enclosure, primarily when he was stationed at Camp Roberts.

337 Viet Nam #50. A complete mint sheet of 50 with the 1956 50 dong overprint on the 1948 red 5 dong North Vietnamese "Ho Chi Minh" issue. It has a distinctive rough paper and perf 7, making good quality copies difficult to come by. Nice condition, folded in half. This came from the estate of a very reputable source, but we caution to take a good look, as forgeries are known to exist. 2024 Scott US$3750.00 = $5,062.50 $0.00
338 Worldwide - "BeNeLux" consignment balance, the strongest is the mint semi-postals from Belgium (B460-465, B560). The only item from Luxembourg is the 1939 "Grand Duchess" souvenir sheet with a first day cancel, catalogues $100.00. The Netherlands has the 1923 Queen Wilhelmina set to the 1g, plus some Antilles and Suriname issues. Estimate = $140.00 $0.00

A 16-page stockbook with 1964-1974 mint GB including regionals, and a matching manila springback stockbook with used of the same period. There is lots of Tanzania in a "block" stockbook about 1/3 filled with topical-rich souvenir sheets. A small Stanley Gibbons album for 1937 Coronation, mostly filled all with used Common Design stamps, and 1981 Charles and Di basic common design set in album. The two little stockbooks at the end have some of the highest potential, one has an assortment of GB, Gibraltar, Cyprus and Malta and the other has some NW Pacific Islands and early Samoa. Estimate = $160.00 $11.00
340 Worldwide - A very eclectic and worthwhile consignment balance with album fragments and stockpages. We noted a nice Albania collection and a selection of Spanish Guinea. There is some DDR sheetlets and German colonies, Switzerland used blocks c.1980, Liechtenstein, a 16-page stockbook with a Rotary topical collection, Philippines, Bosnia, Austria, Afghanistan, and a couple of presentation folders (including a couple of Mexican year sets from the 1980s. If you want to build a stock, or liven a stamp club meeting, this is your banker’s box. Estimate = $180.00 $11.00
341 Worldwide - All the "loose" stamps from a collector’s stamp room were put into a bankers box. While some are loose, others are in glassines, envelopes, stock cards, a small plate block file, even an old cigar and chocolate boxes. Too much here for us to go through, but there are better items that were tucked into cards for protection (such as a Great Britain 10/- Seahorse, and a 5r QV Indian revenue stamp). As always, there is more used than mint, some light to moderate duplication is to be expected, and there should be some wheat amongst the chaff. A one-time offering from this source. Estimate = $180.00 $11.00
342 Worldwide - An odd assortment of worldwide albums in two banker’s boxes. Starts with two 4" Minkus Global Supreme albums, the first is marked as being "South America" (but it includes others), the second is "H" to "U" countries, with strength from Europe (Binders retail about $150.00). There is a trio of Harris binders, with a brown "Worldwide" binder with "E" to "G" countries, with an assortment of album pages with concentrations from Finland, France (with some Colonies) and Germany and a pair of "Senior Statesman" binders, one with "G" to "Z" countries with Europe, Asia and a scattering of British Colonies. The other is "M" to "Z" countries, with Poland and Russia. These albums have large sections with few stamps, and others that are concentrated. Several sections look like they were collections from other sources, rehoused under one binder. This leads to chaos and some duplication, but there has to be some hidden gems amongst the thousands of stamps. Due to its weight, we are recommending this lot for local pickup or relatively close by shipping. Estimate = $200.00 $24.00
343 Worldwide - Christmas related topical material. Accumulation of roughly 270 worldwide covers and postcards addressed to Santa Claus, North Pole, HoHoHo, with the vast majority of material from Asian countries, notably Taiwan, Japan, China, etc. Reading some of the postcard messages will restore your faith in humanity including from Jack, who says "I've been so good that I should be on the "nice" list"; Amy says "I'm from the tropics, we don't have snow here, can you visit us sometime?"; and one of our favourites from Yu-Mei "Last night I saw you riding on a sleigh and running through a red light. I think you should follow traffic rules even you're so busy". The material appears to be from post 2000's, with a few faults with some of the stamps, and a few corner bends, but a great topical or thematic group. Overall fine to very fine. Estimate = $120.00 $10.00
344 Worldwide - Eastern European mishmash, the balance of a consignment with several untouched auction, bidboard and dealer purchases here. In no particular order, we saw Poland, Russia/USSR, Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), Yugoslavia-Trieste, Czechoslovakia, a bit of Hungary. Some conventional material, some which goes deep into the back of the book. Mounted collections, accumulations, sets, singles, souvenir sheets. A worthwhile handful of mostly 1970’s material. Estimate = $180.00 $10.00
345 Worldwide - Eclectic consignment balance of a consignment on a couple of pages, includes Canada #18 (reperforated?), #111a (regummed), a nice used block of 3c imperforate admiral #138, and a page of assorted used from the small queens to the Export dollar. Plus, there is a pane of the 1992 hologram issue with accompanying Bileski letter, from when this pane was believed to be a "low orbit" example, but it doesn’t meet the definition in Unitrade, so a cautionary tale. There is a mint copy of Great Britain Turkish Empire #6 (cat $575, but no certificate), Nevis 25c Official overprint on unwatermarked paper (possibly only 50 sheets produced), a mint copy of Belgium #38 (50c King Leopold III - catalogues $275.00), Diego-Suarez #7 used (small tear - catalogues $200.00). There is a 1952 issued 30p green and red Israel revenue colour error (Bale R3, cat $1000.00 but very small tear at top), and a Ceylon #245 (KGV 50R high value with registered cancel and crayon, but washed out colour - catalogues $1500.00), and finally a touch of early used Fiji QEII. A nice opportunity to acquire some tough stamps, faults or not. Estimate = $250.00 $10.00
346 Worldwide - Europe & Colonies in a pair of Minkus Supreme Global 4" binders, a mix of mint and used with not much after 1970. Thousands of stamps, with better concentrations of Austria, Belgium, more China than you would expect from a lot like this(!), Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland, France (and lots of colonies scattered throughout), Germany (including DDR), Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Sweden, Turkey and lots more. Most appear to be common, but we expect finds to be buried here and there. The binders alone would set you back $150.00. Estimate = $170.00 $13.00
347 Worldwide - Europe-strong (but with lots of other countries), all off-paper, all used and all pre-1980 neatly arranged (and tightly packed) into a 32-page Lighthouse stockbook.

Perfect for worldwide collectors, dealers, circuit book sellers or stamp clubs. A labour of love. Total owner’s catalogue value US$4026.00 = $5,435.10 $18.00
348 Worldwide - Inter-war trio of Baltic States mounted collection of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. A mix of mint, used and sometimes both, and a number of issues which are both perforated and imperforate, with many of the used selected for their cancel. The Estonia includes a number of semi-postals and airmails. Noted some overprints and revaluations on the Latvian material. The Lithuanian section is quite complete, generally all mint or used, again with some back of the book. Clean material, nicely mounted. Estimate = $150.00 $65.00
349 Worldwide - Latin American bundle with a bit of everything. Countries include Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Peru, Costa Rica and a smattering from a few other countries. Untouched bidboard and auctions lots, dealer cards, album pages, a couple of sets of Bolivia with Waterlow hole punch and Specimen overprint (bit mixed condition) and a retired circuit book. A mix of mint and used, with some material up to 2000, but most pre-1980. Fun and value here. Estimate = $180.00 $18.00
350 Worldwide - Military group of Ration Books, coupons, and more. With roughly 65 in total from Canada and the United States, some on album pages but mostly loose in a box. None appear to be complete, but we note a small variety of types, including books for gasoliine, a few German ration labels, and more. An interesting lot for the military or Cinderella collector. Estimate = $120.00 $10.00
351 Worldwide - Most of the "end of consignment" boxes that end up getting sold are either banker’s or U-Haul boxes, which may be intimidating to people who aren’t sure if they want that much unsorted material in one go. This lot is in an envelope box, with much of the material in envelopes or on small cards, but don't pay much attention to the cards, as a number have contents which don’t match the outside description. We noted some useful British Commonwealth issues such as Burma, Bahamas and the Caribbean, a wide range of European material as well as bits and pieces from all over. Much seems to have been purchased in the 1990's (some still in original auction/bidboard packaging), so it is mostly 20th century material. Lots of $10-$25 items/sets, but because of the inaccurate descriptors, better items could be hiding. Estimate = $180.00 $16.00
352 Worldwide - Mostly on-paper mix heavy in Bermuda (lots of town cancels) and Canada, with material from several other countries and some off-paper glassine material thrown in. Fills a bankers box, almost exclusively used material pre-1990. Expect moderate to heavy amounts of duplication. Hours of sorting and soaking in your future. From a local estate. Estimate = $130.00 $0.00
353 Worldwide - Several assorted albums from an estate. Starts with a Japan collection in a near-new narrow Scott Specialty 2-post album with pages to 1966 (a bit sparsely populated but noted some nice back to the 19th century, album alone retails about $140.00). There is a binder with a densely mounted collection of 20th century Europe on homemade pages. Canada is QEII used duplicates on 20 manila stockpages. Getting into material with enormous original cost is a small collection of 1985 "Queen Mum" issues, and a substantial three volume Stanley Gibbons collection of 1981 Charles and Diana issues, with singles, souvenir sheets, sheetlets and some imperforates, etc. - the original retail on these was likely over $2000.00! Great for stock or to share at a club meeting. Estimate = $200.00 $22.00
354 Worldwide - Small, mixed bundle, of Asian material with 20th century China (with some Chefoo), People’s Republic of China, Manchukuo, a bit of Japan (including overprints for offices in China), Burma (Japanese occupation), Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. Bidboard lots, dealer’s cards and sleeves, album pages, etc. Includes a bit of everything, including overprints, better singles, local printings as well as some possible forgeries. Set aside years ago, so the listed catalogue values don’t mean much. Estimate = $140.00 $90.00
355 Worldwide - Smaller boxes filling a bankers box with a substantial amount of used, off-paper, material, in several cigar boxes and a couple cardboard boxes. The balance of a local estate, there are thousands of stamps covering QV to about 1980 in wildly varying quantities and wildly varying states of organization. The best is from the British Caribbean with Bermuda, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago (to name a few), and noted some Great Britain, Australia and a bit of Canada. Perfect for the philatelic miner. Estimate = $150.00 $10.00
356 Worldwide - South America eclectic "balance of consignment" holding which features a batch of old-time album pages with a variety of mint and (mostly) used. Countries included are Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela. A bit of a hodge-podge, but some interesting looking material here. Expect the odd small fault and likely some reprints, but also a fun sort! Estimate = $100.00 $10.00
357 Worldwide - Substantial used collection from seven European counties in six older (but functional) springback binders, with stamps from the earliest issues running to about 1978, with a good mix of regular issues, back of the book and many selected for having attractive cancels. Countries (with owner’s catalogue values): Greece ($350), Sweden (two selections: $200 & $340), Andorra ($13), Austria ($230), Bulgaria ($21), Spain ($770 in two volumes), Italy ($940). The owner’s reasonable looking catalogue value US$2864.00 = $3,866.40 $10.00

The lot contains a wide variety of items, generally from the 1960's onwards noting postcards, postal stationery, commercial covers, first flights, first day covers, and more, with better representation from Macau, Japan, China, Philippines, Malaya, just to name a few.
