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. The entire lot is presented at www.philea.se. Show less

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. A delight to view, an intense range on this topic, completely uncatalogued. Show less

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
