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