Bermuda. Lot ★★/★/⊙. A charming and most attractive collection, mint and used specifically for King George VI definitives in uniformly good condition throughout. Please note that the toning on the 12/6 key plate is completely normal for the first issue of the George VI definitive. There is much MNH throughout and when used, it is overwhelmingly circular date stamps. There at least 2/–×24, 2/6×12, 5/-×15, 10/–×4, 12/6×5 and £1×5, as well as a few covers. There are many permutations and types here, especially in the written up perf studies, as well as the more obvious shades, notwithstanding the high likelihood of varieties to discover as well. For the dealer or collector specialist of this area, a most enjoyable viewing awaits, for the most part uncatalogued. Please allow sufficient time for study.

Brazil. Mostly used. Very attractive collection housed in 7 albums with every one crammed to capacity, mint and used, the latter primarily for the 19th/early 20th century. Much of the mint has been bought on a new issue service up to 2010, cat figures given to us by the collector (low in our opinion): The first book without consideration of the first pages with various the 'eyes' €4000, then 1900 - 1965 €1100, 1966 - 1981 €2000, 1982 - 1992 €1200, 1993 - 2000 €900, 2001 - 2006 €470, making a grand total of €10,170, there is also a 7th album to 2010 uncatalogued. In our opinion these albums today will catalogue €12,000 to €14,000 euro. This is far more than a foundation collection, it is missing little to complete. A delight to view, a much recommended viewing. It is good to see such a well filled collectors collection including unlisted, some 20 years in the making. Show less

Britain. Collection/accumulation used. An extraordinary reconstruction, seldom seen for one specific plate, especially a good one! This is the Queen Victoria 6d mauve (without hyphen) on plate #8, SG #109 cat £140 each. This is ex Charles Nissen/Hadlow stock housed in an exercise book, specifically for the reconstruction of GB surface printed. The quality is uniformly good throughout, from our checking everything we saw was in excellent condition throughout. There is a total of 555! This is an attempt to build 2–3 complete reconstructions of this plate by check letters and represents a catalogue just under £80,000. This is ideal for a dealer to replenish stocks very inexpensively, good condition at less than 1% of catalogue! An one-off opportunity. Show less

British commonwealth. ★★. Attractive well presented collection air mails, housed in a 64 page large stockbook, well filled with nothing but MNH sets, specifically for airmails, zeppelins and the like, strong in commems as well as defins with everything complete. No doubt a very high new issue cost as bought on that basis for this thematic. Some of the countries include Australia, British Antarctic Territories, Canada, Gibraltar, British West Indies, some of the small islands incl. the first plane definitive sets to $5 Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Falklands, Montserrat, ending with BIOT, Hong Kong and Singapore.

British commonwealth, Oceania. Accumulation ★★. An outstanding range of thematics cataloguing over €85,000 (approx USD $100,000 equiv) with a face value of approximately €25,000 equivalent (approx USD $28,000 equiv). The vast majority are in sets and countries include Aitutaki with for example 'protect earth', Cook Islands with flowers, shells and fish, then Niuafo'ou butterflies galore and Niue. Everything is in superb condition and issues from 1968 through to 2012 with many dozens of the better sets, or more. An excellent opportunity at hugely discounted rates as our valuation is very conservative. Dealers of topics or face value, make sure this is on your list of lots to view. An absolute money maker at these ludicrously low levels of catalogue/face value. Approx. 11 kg. Show less

We can't help thinking there are some very scarce items here for the specialist to research and identify. The entire lot is presented at www.philea.se. 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 200x19th century fiscals from imperfs onwards, as well as values mint on the early shields to 4 pesetas from 1879 onwards. Other items seen incl. the US definitives o/ps mint and used to the 10 cts, also postage dues to 10 cts, 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

Montenegro. ★★/★/⊙. Very probably an irreplaceable range of many thousands of stamps, chronologically ordered mint and used in parallel, a most challenging lot to view as virtually everything is housed stamp on stamp, from the first issues through to early 20th century. The holding is completely uncatalogued, well filled to bulging in one substantial volume ending with back of the book and material we have never seen before. It should also be mentioned that throughout this fabulous range there are 'a' numbers and similar material that is not listed at all incl. perforations/varieties, etc. An opportunity seldom available to buy a very comprehensive holding of this wealthy European country. These stamps have a long way to go as they are grossly undervalued for their printing numbers, please inspect. Show less

Soviet Union. ★★/★/⊙. 1000s of stamps mint and used, housed in 2 very well filled volumes from 1917 to the 1940s, starting with high values, both perf and imperfs during the revolutionary period and much back of the book, extensive in research. Perhaps with the more obvious value is the commemorative section of the 1930s, nevertheless the better collection is very probably the first volume 1917-29 with, for example, Yvert #184a wing marginal imperceptibly hinged cat €800, as well as many other better stamps of the Youth Stamp Exhibition o/ps. The inflation overprints are also so extensive inc unlisted, through to the 1923 workers defins to 5rb with both A and B types to 3rb and 5rb. Also noticed the first issues of the long Lenin high value types mint to 10rb, all differentiated inc the seldom seen #331b, etc. In the mid 1920s a good range of both perf and imperf sets mint and used with plenty of material, page after page, much identified. The second volume as indicated loaded with value and reflects the pattern of this collector, he went for material 'outside of the box', as well as basic good sets, etc. Substantial and valuable, a much recommended viewing.
