Hungary. Mostly ★★. Post WW2, hundreds of mint sets in one bulging mint album, the overwhelming majority (if not all) MNH including imperfs, all post WW2 through to the early 2000s with occasional parallel used. The new issue cost is enormous, however the most intriguing part are two adopted designs, large colour essays 21×28 cm individually handpainted for the 3f high value Kirali and the 40f soldier Hadseregbe issues, we have no information on this, other than they look stunning. All in all, thousands of stamps, commems and defins complete, well displayed and no doubt the catalogue value will add up fast, without consideration of the unlisted. Show less

Ireland. ★★/★/⊙. Attractive collection of hundreds of stamps housed in a Schaubek album, mint and used, first set seahorses mint high values to 10/– complete and then defins used 1922 to 10d and 1/–, as well as subsequent defins to 9d and 10d mint and used, through to the three line overprint again to 1/– of the last, set followed by the re-engraved 2/6d and 5/– seahorse. Collection continues with page after page material including the 1942/45 St Patricks set mint and virtually all the commems through to the 1980s ending with back of the book postage dues. A well rounded collection, not needing that much save further seahorses and coils for completion, a much recommended viewing. Show less

Beginning with imperf issues from early 1860s from side margin perf 1862 40cts red used with cds, through 1863/77 complete to 2 lire, nearly complete 1867 through 1888, followed by overprints complete 1890/91 and the 5 lire, through to the 'valevole' this time mint, on to the 20th century with high values and page after page especially 1923 onwards, very strong, incl. propaganda of the faith, air mails incl. Zeppelins this time mint, first flight BA overprints complete, football 1934 and similarly air mail complete mint, further zeppelins and better sets to high values with many good items present, post WW2 again very strong 1949 complete to 100L and many of the good sets of the late 1940s early 1950s, page after page with no empty spaces. A lovely collection, a joy to view, completely uncatalogued. Show less
