Thirty-three binders of stamps (not counting 'spares' volumes) and fifteen of FDCs to 2020, in six boxes. The collector has been ambitious in neatly laying out and annotating spaces for virtually all the listed varieties frpm the penny black onwards, therefore very sparse particularly on the earlier issues, though we note a few mint/unused penny reds among the line-engraved, later also the 1985 34p Hitchcock with queen's head beneath value. The QEII sets are mostly with traffic lights and/or imprints from pre-decimal through to 2020 with mint and used of each. The mint first class panes are in two forms each, attached to the page by the corner selvage. A few of the volumes are back of the book incl. a useful range of dues with 1959-63 set MNH, etc. Face value will be well in excess of £3600.
Sold for £1,600
Estimated at £1,500 - £2,000
