Great Britain, Guernsey and Jersey

Five identical dark blue Rapkin "Excellent" springback binders, in very nice condition host a mostly Elizabethan era collection. The British material is in three albums, two having mint material to 1978, with a bit earlier including a couple of Queen Victoria issues, blocks of the 1935 Silver Jubilee, but then with a good run of basic issues (no phosphors or graphites). The third binder is used material. The Guernsey and Jersey collections are fairly complete, including postage dues, from #1 to about 1980, with pages at the back for a sparser collection of postally used material. The mint stamps throughout are in black mounts but expect pre-1970 stamps to be hinged. Bonus material is a small stockbook with some nice QEII "Wilding" issues with multiples and a big handful of envelopes sorted with used traders including about 100 "Penny Reds" through King George V (noting some Seahorses) and a couple of glassines with complete booklets from Guernsey and Jersey.
