Lot 2159 A

France. */¤. Post offices abroad, a very interesting one-volume range of well over 1000 mint and used stamps covering post offices from the Levant through Egypt down to Zanzibar, with early issues often crammed together on the page. Highlights include Levant with 2pi on 50c type I used, an excellent postmarks section including blue Smyrne, blue Vathy-Samos on 1p on 25pi pair on piece, etc, Port Lagos with useful mint range and 1fr with superb purple cds, etc. Then the post offices in Egypt incl. Alexandria 1902/13 to 5fr, lots of military cancels on piece, Port Said 1899 25c surcharge used signed, etc. Completely uncatalogued, finds are very likely here, deserving an unhurried viewing.
