This collection on quadrilled pages will have you swinging between "that’s terrific" to "that’s a shame" and every emotion in between. This collection runs between mid-Victorian issues to 1973, but with very little sense of order. There are a couple thousand mint and used stamps, but alas the album was poorly stored, leading to gum issues on the mint stamps. The first page is a perfect representation of this, with much of the QV "Jubilee" and KEVII definitive issues, but most have no gum and the ones that do have heavy hinge remnants. Don’t let that put you off, as there are many more pages with potential and you have to check out all the pictures, as this collection isn’t chronologically ordered. Better includes used "Jubilee" and KEVII sets, plus higher denominations, "Seahorses" and neat little items along the way (e.g. 1925 British Empire used pairs) multiples, back of the book (postage dues, officials, Moroccan Agencies), with some perfins to spice things up. Almost nothing from the QEII era. The condition is mixed, there is duplication and the catalogue will go into several thousand dollars. Estimate =
