Saudi Arabia. Collection used 1867–1921 in album. Extraordinary would be an understatement of this collection, beginning with the 1867 interpostals Gedda, types A and B for both dies, two of the scarcest of the interpostal issues, followed by 1885 used in Jeddah with GB embossed coat of arms and probably unique strips of four of the 1 shilling embossed. Also noted the 6d o/p, as well as the 2/6d yet again including some handwritten date stamps from De la Rue, virtually all in good condition. The collection ends with ‘flat rate’ currency stamps in different shades, perf. 11 1/2 typograph 1920/21. Much is written up, yet still more research needed, many hundreds of stamps, a wonderful recommended collection, very difficult to find again. Fine quality. (230)
