Post-independence and before becoming Yemen, these regions produced stamps that were derogatorily referred to as "Sand Dune" issues, but have gained respect over the years, particularly from Topical collectors. Noted JFK, Churchill, Olympics, Space, Art and the near-unique “clothed Goya” (we wish we were kidding). This lot is mostly complete perforated sheets, with one batch of imperf sheets and oodles of single imperfs. Most are in perfect condition and most in even numbers of complete sets. The standard number for each issue is three sheets of 25 stamps. Most are identified by Michel, as they are not listed in Scott. Saw Quaiti State (Coronation set is 75 stamps, cataloguing 35 Euro a set!). The Kathiri State has Churchill, Japanese Art, JFK, Flight, Olympics (both perf and imperf). The sheet portion ends with 4 different issues from Mahra state. Then there are a number of glassine envelopes with imperf gummed single stamps from many of these proceeding issues and a number that didn’t appear in sets, to which we have given a nominal catalogue value. Total 2024 Michel catalogue value €15,000! =
