THREE red boxes, with a total of about 1300 "102" cards being another balance of a vest-pocket dealer’s inventory of British Africa & Mediterranean countries. Includes Crete, Cyprus, Egypt, Gold Coast, KUT, Niger Coast Protectorate, Nigeria, Northern Nigeria, Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, Rhodesia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Zululand plus a scattering of others. Lightly duplicated, with usually 1 stamp per card, mint and used, QV to early QEII. Mix of common and better, with catalogue values up to about $30.00. Accurately identified by Scott and often Stanley Gibbons, with an honest assessment of condition. Alas, the dealer was so unrealistic in his pricing that very few items ever sold, which was a shame as there are nuggets scattered throughout his material. Estimate =
