U-Haul box filled with "prepared collections", being profusely prepared, mounted and described and offered for sale (with a hefty premium) by companies such as "Fleetwood" and "Westminster Collectors Society". A total of 6 collections here, consisting of 1) The Royal International Gold Collection (gold foil cachet covers, often with Bird or Ship topicals). 2) The 85th Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen Mother (51 special cachet covers). 3) The 1981 Charles and Diana Royal Wedding (54 special cachet FDC). 4) The Royal International Gold Collection (a second offering, seemingly to compliment the first). 5) The 1981 Charles and Diana Royal Wedding (70 stamps in a Stanley Gibbons album). 6) History of Aviation First Day Cover Collection (94 worldwide covers on the history of flight). Each of these collections would have easily cost over $100 each when originally purchased. A colorful group with lots of better stamps / sets (mostly on cover) throughout. Estimate =
