Britain. Covers. Lifetime collection housed in two large volumes, representing material for example from Buckingham Palace KGV, Sandringham, St James Palaces, very scarce 'Master of the Horse', privy purse, court of the Lord Lyon Edinburgh, both Balmoral and Windsor castles and much more. On the political front, a very scarce blue Victoria rose and thistle double oval department of Science and Art 1872, as well as 10 Downing Street, Lord Chamberlains office, various secretary of states office, air ministry, ministry of Defence, impressive looking SECRET postmarks, British Embassy strikes and much more. There is also a family correspondence, Lord (ex-squadron leader) Horsley and the collection would be extremely difficult to assemble again. This collector paid up to £40 each for some of these covers at the time and many between £10 to £20 each – most of this was bought over three decades in the UK. All in all there are over 100 covers and cost this collector at the time many multiples of our estimate. Strictly for Anglophiles!
