ALL WORLD. Mostly used. One man’s lifetime collection consisting of tens of thousands of mint and used stamps housed in nine bulging albums, very often with the pages filled to capacity, beginning in Aden with virtually every country of the world all the way through to Yugoslavia, with issues covering the gamut from the 19th century onwards. Probably the best is China especially the People’s Republic with a range of the better material through from the 1940s to the 1960s including various gymnasts, and issues from the Chrysanthemums, Butterflies, Monkey etc, often split sets. British Commonwealth in general is also useful, particularly Canada / BNA, Australian States etc. Also seen France 1949 Ceres mint and much good used from imperforates #1 onwards including 20, 25 and 40 cts, the latter particularly attractive with large margins, through to 80cts Napoleon imperf again four margins, as well as both Empire types to 80cts followed by 80cts Ceres and much more. A collection that deserves plenty of time spent on it to appreciate the depth of material here. Approx. 17_kg.
