Lot 2423 V

British commonwealth. Mostly used. 1000s of stamps housed in two Imperial stamp albums. The first album begins with GB through to Malta, the second album from Mauritius through to Zululand. Everything is between the 1840s through 1936 and is all one of a kind, mint and used. The collection is completely uncatalogued and in our opinion it will easily catalogue between £25,000/£35,000. Condition overall is very good and there is much cataloging between £10 to £200 each. The QV is as good as the KGV and EDVII. Some of the better countries include GB from line engraved, Australia, Canada,Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Mauritius, Natal, New Hebrides, New Zealand incl. high value postal fiscals, Orange Free State incl. mint multiples showing different settings on the o/ps, Rhodesia inc seldom seen perfins and a good range of admiral heads, St Helena, Southern Rhodesia, the Malayas from Straits Settlements onwards, Transvaal, useful Australian States from New South Wales through to Western Australia incl. unlisted, finally ending in Zululand. Value is spread across the board in this very well balanced collection and serves as a solid foundation, especially for filling in those empty spaces. Much merit throughout, plenty of good BC stamps in the middle range. A joy to view, a good old fashioned well rounded collection.
