French Colonies and France

Balance of a consignment with bidboard lots, album pages and an accumulation, with gems and "diamonds in the rough". The colonies include a card with some nice Annam & Tonkin, Cochin/China, Ile Rouad and Tahiti, followed by a couple of pages of mint 1937 Paris Exposition common design issue. There is a clutch of homemade pages with mounted colonies and a binder with 26 manila stockpages holding about 2500 mint and used stamps from a wide range of the French Community from the 1870s to the early 1970s. And France itself is represented by a lovely used Napoleon "Empire" duo of #12 and #13, and most of the set #109/132, and ending with some roughly excised album pages with classic France and back of the book, with a few general Colonial issues. Overall, more used than mint, plus some cancel potential and unchecked for varieties. Estimate =
