Countries include Bahrain, British Post Offices in the Levant inc QV 12 piastres on 2/6d, EDV11 12 piastres on 2/6d, KGV Seahorses complete 180 piastres on 10/-, straight line Levant o/p high values, through KGV1 Post Offices in Eastern Arabia, etc. Then British Bechuanaland QV onwards with different types o/ps, many better, B.M.A. and B.A. o/ps Eritrea, Somalia, M.E.F. again to KGV1 higher values to 10/-, postage dues complete, Kuwait high values galore inc regular KGV1, Festival KGV1, different types QEII o/ps etc. Also present Oil Rivers, Morocco Agencies with a similar pattern with further range of Seahorses, defins etc. Also seen Tangier Silver Wedding, further range of high value QE2, ending with Irish Republic Provisional o/ps again including Seahorses, finally ending with a cross-section of Zululand!

Britain. ★★/★/⊙. 2 substantial bankers boxes well filled with material, representing a new issue service from a combination of suppliers, primarily Benham's Collectors Club. Countries represented are primarily GB, Channel Islands inc Alderney, Isle of Man, and a little British Europe Islands. This was sent to us without the new issue envelopes and invoices. There is a lot of work that needs to be done to reconstruct into the different categories. They include of course much Benham FDCs inc 'silks', their special event covers, presentation packs, new issues often in blocks of 4, particularly but not exclusively for the Channel Islands, etc. We are informed by the vendor that the new issue cost from Benhams alone ran to over £8000, however that cannot guaranteed by us, due to the chaotic presentation. A great lot for a stamp workaholic looking for a project with huge potential! Approx. 29 kg. Show less

Britain. ★★/★. Superb mint collection with many scarce stamps including the best of the best of the KGVI Middle East Forces with all the Cairo, Nairobi and London printings, these alone - where catalogued in Gibbons - come to well over £1000 (SG#M1 to SG#M21), no doubt more in Sassone. Other countries complete include Eritrea, both the British Administration and British Military Administration o/ps, as well as postage dues, also EAF, a similar pattern with B.A. Somalia and B.M.A. Somalia, the same with Tripolitania complete ie SG#T1 through #T34 and SG#TD1 / #TD10 min cat £500 etc. Perfection.

Britain. Used. Astonishing accumulation used QV to QEII, essentially penny reds through to QEII well into the 2000s with about 300,000 stamps, housed in 21 boxes of various different sizes, chronologically organized. This represents a lifetimes work and when you see the lot you will understand why, it is a true labour of love! Nothing seems to be in particularly excess quantity, varying from a few to a 100 or so of each, all with SG number lined up, column after column for an easy cross referencing against SG. While QEII unsurprisingly has the best representation with many, many 1000s of commemorative sets complete, as well as definitives by the 1000s running through to high values from £1 to £10, there is also useful QV through EDVII/KGV/KGVI and varieties galore . There is a very conservative catalogue 'guesstimate' of around £200,000. All the work has been done and this turn-key stock is ready for immediate marketing on the internet, approval books or stamp shows, ideal for a dealer. Show less

Cuba. Mostly used. Well over 1000 stamps from dozens of imperfs onwards, overwhelmingly 19th century with Spanish and US Administration. There is occasional duplication, however often in better material waiting to be written up and put in to the main collection. There are extensive shade studies with enormous potential with the 19th century. There is also about 200x 19th century fiscals from imperfs onwards, as well as values mint on the early shields to 4 pesetas from 1879 onwards. Other items seen inc the US definitives o/ps mint and used to the 10cts, also postage dues to 10cts, special delivery, etc. Unquestionably needs a lot of work, yet so much substance here. This is very much a 'work in progress' lot, most worthwhile and conservatively valued. Show less

Cuba. ★★/★. A well rounded comprehensive collection, virtually all mint, housed in 2 volumes, beginning with 3 scarce 'hablitados' o/ps used, followed by American Admin 1cts through to 10cts, mint. Also the first US postage dues 5cts and 10cts mint, then as far as we can see virtually everything else complete mint, through to the modern era. Overwhelmingly MNH with 1000s of stamps and no duplication. The collection includes the se-tenants, better miniature sheets, the good airmails and virtually everything else you can think of. We estimate the catalogue value to be at least 6500 euro, notwithstanding a high new issue cost. An opportunity not to be missed. Show less

Czechoslovakia. Cover. This exhibition collection for the main part relates to the transition period of Spring 1945, when Nazi Germany relinquished control over the Protectorate. The collection is researched extensively written up and is some 70cm high on about 600 album pages, filling to capacity two substantial boxes. There are many covers from former Sudetenland offices under the central control of Dresden, post April 1945 transferred back to Czechoslovakia after end of WW2, particularly official letters from the SNB (Sbor Nadroni Bezpecnosti - State Security Corps, responsible for the expulsion of ethnic Germans) at Brezno, to the new head office, restored again to Prague.. There is also present his collection of Czechoslovakia going back from the 19th century onwards, which as with the Sudetenland, is extensively written up page for page. The cover section of the Austro-Hungarian Empire/Czechoslovakia has at least 300 items. There will no doubt be scarce items here, however it is definitely to the Sudetenland as the best, this beig the finest collection of postal history we have ever had the pleasure to offer of this area. There are 1000s of Items here when you consider the stamp postmark collection incorporated into the cover collection, this having a thousand or so covers. For the most part, the covers are organised 'A-Z' and has Czech language restored from the German, for example Bilina/Bilin, Cinvald/Zinnwald, Duba/Dauba, Filipov/Philippsdorf, Hamr/ Hammer am See, Jablonec and Nisou 1/Gablonz 1, Kozly/Kosel und Brux, Ledvice/Ladowitz uber Dux, Machnin/Machendorf, Nebocady/Neschwitz uber Tetschen-Bodenbach, Obrnice/Obernitz uber Brux, Podmokly/Bodenbach, Radio/Radi, Slunkov/Schluckenau, Telnice/Tellnitz,Ustek/Auscha, Valkerice/Algersdorf uber Tetschen-Bodenbach, Wolmsdorf/ Wolmsdorf and Zakupy/Reichstadt to name but a few. There are so many scarce covers here from the Sudetenland, needless to say over time and for various reasons, some of these villages/ small towns do not exist anymore in their own right. It is quite extraordinary to see the lengths that the postal authorities went to in order to restore normative Czechoslovakian postal services, often with so called deliberately 'mute' postmarks (or the German equivalent excised) and replaced by for example Czech straightline cancels, as would be expedient at the time. Highlights everywhere, fancy cancels, liberation, registered usage, postal stationery envelopes including recycled and attempts to overprint any links with Nazi associations, etc, etc. The actual Sudetenland collection is for the most part alphabetized and includes some important collateral. It is logical, in depth and comprehensive. The collection itself was sent to us without the binders and are no longer available. This is an opportunity for the postal historian that you definitely do not want to miss, a collection 35 years in the making. A good number of covers here would sell separately for the equivalent or $10/$20+++ in their own right. However the overall value is in the encyclopedic scope of the whole collection 'A-Z', representing far more than the sum of its parts. Please view carefully, (we ask the viewer to try and respect keeping the order for other potential students to enjoy as well). Approx. 30 kg. Show less

East Africa. ★★/★/⊙. Hundreds of stamps, British and German, mint and used, QV to QE2 housed in one substantial album, interspersed with dozens of items of postal history. Much emphasis is on postmarks and some of the countries include K.U.T., Sudan, German East Africa, German Colonies especially Kaiser's Yachts used in those territories, Rhodesia and Nyasaland, etc. There are at least three dozen postal history items often with good, interesting p/c illustrations/photographs such as 'Markets in Lamu', 'Mombassa Swimming Club', 'Gruess Aus', ethnic and tribal to give a flavour of what is here. In the other covers, there are interesting items such as 'undeliverable' strike KGV, an interesting Sudan first flight, combination official covers and much more. The German Colonies has postmarks from places such as Soga, Kilossa, Kilimatini, Tabora, Ujijii etc, not just the obvious ones, so much here to discover. The more you study this collection which also includes collateral and reference, all the more to appreciate. Highly recommended. Show less

Soviet Union. Accumulation ★★ 1960s–1991. ENORMOUS DEALER STOCK (ESTATE) IN 15 LARGE AND HEAVY REMOVAL BOXES, a fantastic hoard of both complete and incomplete sets in large quantities but still many stamps and sets represented and also many souvenir sheets and minisheets (e.g. 150 minisheet sets of Mi 5603-07 total cat.-value EUR 19500 and this is only from looking in the first two boxes). The lot is simply so HUGE! When incomplete sets are represented it appears to not only be the lowest value included, further many sets of one stamp etc. Not far from HALF A TON of stamps sorted in boxes and it is much better that it is xx instead of used (we have only found a few definitive sets in quantities used). Total amount of stamps must be in the order of at least 500000-800000 and catalgoue value in the order of 1.5-2 Million EUROS! The orginal cost of aquiring this much be enormous and is now offered (despite so many complete sets etc) in the order of 1 pro mille of catalogue value. Approx. 450 kg. Show less
