Collection Section 5: British Africa. King George VI and early Queen Elizabeth collection on "New Age" Stanley Gibbons album pages in Schaubek springback album. In stages it is a collection, or in others a collection remnant. A mix of mint and used stamps, with very easily removed hinges. Includes partial and complete sets, including values up to 10/- or £1, with some "Omnibus" issues thrown in (including the 1949 Silver Wedding). You may see penciled catalogue values penciled in at the bottom of the pages but ignore them as a) they are from 1982 and b) may not represent which stamps are present. We note Basutoland "crocodiles" mint, Bechuanaland 1961 set to 2R, Gambia, Gold Coast, Kenya, Uganda & Tanganyika, Nigeria, Nyasaland (key plates to £1, used cat $194.00- high value on paper) Somaliland, South Africa, Swaziland, Zanzibar. Better items lurk everywhere, and the overall condition is excellent. Duplication tends to be where there is both a mint and used example. Estimate =
