General Collections<br />

Austria - Better middle period issues in un-mounted mint <strong>co</strong>ndition. Mostly blocks and pairs, many being marginal on 4 stock<br />

book pages. Excellent quality and the overall catalogue value of this lot is in excess of £2,000++. £375<br />

Australia-: A small lot on three quadrille album pages. There are two pages of Australian postage dues all identified in pencil<br />

underneath the stamps with their respective SG numbers. These have not been checked by us, but are from a regular supplier<br />

and we have not had any adverse remarks previously regarding the identification. Any we have ever checked have been<br />

<strong>co</strong>rrect. There is also a small page of stamps overprinted ‘OS’ for official use all reasonable examples (page cats £57.50!). The<br />

overall catalogue of this lot is over £480 £95<br />

Bahamas - George V period on two pages. All mint, we note SG145, 1920 Peace set <strong>co</strong>mplete, 1930 Tercentenary set and<br />

SG111/114 Queen’s staircase set with watermark script CA. All in decent <strong>co</strong>ndition. Total catalogue value is £175+ £70<br />

Bahawalpur (Pakistan) - Selection of George VI period issues all fine used cancelled by favour as is usual for these stamps.<br />

Comprises SG19-28 (cat £206), SG35/38, SG39/42 plus officials SGO15, SG017/18 and set SGO20/27 (cat £170). The overall<br />

catalogue value is in excess of £570 for what are difficult to obtain issues £225<br />

Belgium - Single A4 Hagner sheet. It is to be <strong>co</strong>nsidered that all stamps are lightly mounted, although we noted a few<br />

unmounted mint that <strong>co</strong>mmand a premium as the catalogue price is for mounted. We calculate catalogue value at around<br />

£350, All earlier material including SG1561/6, SG1567/73, SG1621/5 and the earlier red cross items. Clean lot. £80<br />

Belgium - Somewhat battered Davo printed album with well over 100 pages <strong>co</strong>vering the period 1849 through to 1968. Primarily<br />

a used <strong>co</strong>llection but the odd mint stamp sprinkled throughout. Mint represents perhaps 15% of the volume here. 1849/61 nine<br />

stamps in mixed <strong>co</strong>ndition; 1863, 1884-88 and 1884-91 issues are <strong>co</strong>mplete in used <strong>co</strong>ndition as is the later 1893-1900 issue<br />

with tabs. Thereafter a decent spread with many <strong>co</strong>mplete pages and would be an excellent starter <strong>co</strong>llection. We believe the<br />

overall catalogue will exceed £1,600 and may exceed £2,000+. £380<br />

Canada - Selection of booklets from the reign of King George VI. Nice lot, all in good <strong>co</strong>ndition for these, the staples on all of<br />

the Canadian booklets of this period are prone to rust, they were after all not planned to be in existence some 70 years after<br />

being produced! In order from left to right going across then down the page we have the following booklets; SB41,SB46,<br />

SB41, SB48A, SB48, SB46A, SB46, SB41, SB38, SB41A, SB41B, SB37A and SB37. One booklet (SB46A) has a creased <strong>co</strong>ver<br />

otherwise <strong>co</strong>ndition is very good for these. £250<br />

Canada & Newfoundland - The Canadian stamps <strong>co</strong>ver the reigns of Queen Victoria through to George V. Canadian stamps<br />

of this period are somewhat notorious (relative to many other Commonwealth areas) for being prone to thinning on the gum<br />

due to the type of gum used and <strong>co</strong>mmonly being thinned when hinges were removed. For used stamps roller cancels and<br />

obliterator types were the norm and cds examples are keenly sought after. The good thing about the used Canadian stamps<br />

here is that they are for the most part much nicer cancels than normal. The mint 1c Jubilee is almost u/m but has a minor gum<br />

bend. A <strong>co</strong>uple of interesting cancels on the Victorian issues including a very nice 6c brown with a <strong>co</strong>ncentric rings obliterator.<br />

The Newfoundland lot is a mixed bag of various items mint and used, nothing too special or too awful with many <strong>co</strong>llectable<br />

examples and a <strong>co</strong>uple of better values noted £120<br />

Ceylon & Maldives - An eclectic mix on three A4 stock sheets. We note from Maldives the 1909 set of four mint and then the<br />

1933 issue including 8 of the 9 values including the awkward 5c value and cat a minimum of £75 for the cheapest watermark<br />

(not checked!). There is also a set of the 1970 World Cup stamps, which appear to be imperforate and probably of some<br />

interest. There follows two pages of Ceylon including George V set of eleven mint, Edward VII including 1R (looks unmounted!)<br />

and 2R values. Queen Victoria includes the 1r50 and 2r25 values mint (some faults to these but <strong>co</strong>llectable) and two used <strong>co</strong>pies<br />

of the 1R 12 cents. Later issues include SG477b (surcharge doubled cat £42) and a <strong>co</strong>py of the unissued footprint stamp from<br />

1968 (cat £35) see footnote beneath SG546. £125<br />

Ceylon - Covering the period from the later part of Queen Victoria’s reign through to the King George VI definitives. Queen<br />

Victoria from SG121 onwards and we note the 1R12c overprint used and an unoverprinted <strong>co</strong>py with a nice hooded circle<br />

‘Colombo Parcel Post’ cancel. Various Edward VII follow mostly mounted mint.: we have the George VI definitives, specifically<br />

SG386/396b which is the set <strong>co</strong>mplete to both 2r values and missing just the top value. These catalogue in excess of £250++<br />

and each block has at least two stamps unmounted mint £180<br />

Channel Islands-Guernsey - First <strong>co</strong>ver is a very nice item to an address on Jethou, one of the smaller Channel Islands and<br />

sent from Guernsey on 17 February 1941 and bears a George V royal cypher 2d stamp bi-sected. Next we have another King<br />

George V royal cypher issue stamp used on a local postcard dated 2 January 1941 with the St. Sampson’s sub post office<br />

double ring cancel. This we <strong>co</strong>nsider is a little more philatelic, probably done to get the first possible date in 1941 -1st January<br />

was a public holiday and the post offices were not open. The postcard is a black and white view of some fields with no indication<br />

of where. Possibly some potato fields What is nice is the manuscript legend ‘Occupied Territory’ after Guernsey in the address!<br />

Then we have a First Day Cover of the 1934 Photogravure 2d stamp bi-sected and postmarked for 27 December 1940. Lastly,<br />

we have an example of the 2d Postal Centenary stamp bi-sected on <strong>co</strong>ver for the last day of authorised use on 22 February<br />

1941. £585<br />

Cook Islands - Niue & Samoa A small accumulation on offer today presented on 22 small quadrille album pages. Virtually all<br />

the material is from the George V / George VI period and is in generally good <strong>co</strong>ndition. There are a few earlier Victorian items.<br />

Nice little starter lot, nothing especially valuable but the catalogue value is in excess of £340 £105<br />

Germany - Example of the very rare 1933 Welfare Fund Miniature Sheet issued in Germany, SGMS525a. The sheet is<br />

unmounted mint and is the scarcest Miniature Sheet issued by Germany, the 2012 Stanley Gibbons specialised catalogue<br />

10th edition has this priced at £8,000 for unmounted mint, it is a classic item. There is a small mark towards the centre top of<br />

the sheet on the face which looks to have <strong>co</strong>me from handling at some point but that is being very picky £2,750<br />

Germany-West - A single card <strong>co</strong>ntaining 37 stamps from the early period of West Germany (Bundespost) with 1949 UPU mint,<br />

and West Berlin (Deutsche Post)with Famous Berliners etc. Mixed mint and used, it has been assumed that all mint stamps<br />

have hinge marks although this may not necessarily be the case. This is a very highly catalogued lot, in excess of £1,000 £180<br />
