The rest! Nine cartons and a suitcase (not including the good literature boxes) stuffed with albums, stockpages, written-up collections for example 100-page Curacao postal history collection, extensive loose postal history, almost all the latter being pre-1950 with noted British Africa, French Colonies, flight covers among which the Canada includes Cherry Red Airline 10cts issue tied, lots of Forces mail particularly of WWI, etc. Further material frequently cropping-up from the areas we have attempted to filter into the previous lots, including China, Russian Asia and much British Commonwealth, as well as a Cinderella/Reference section noted. Better items discovered in this fascinating morass are Gold Coast 1935 extra flagstaff 1d mint vertical pair with normal (SG.113a, cat. £140), Portugal 1949 portraits souvenir sheet used (SG.MS1028a, cat. £120), scarce West Ukraine ovpt on Bosnia/Herzegovina postage due 5sh used, pulled corner perf, with 2008 RPS certificate (SG.53, cat. £4,250), which goes to show absolutely anything could be here. Needless to say a close inspection is vital. Huge potential for reward once organised.
