Great Britain, pre-decimal sheets, over 65 sheets including early phosphor defins set and castles high values, all in pristine quality. Highlights are the 1960-67 phosphor Wildings (SG.610-618a), with complete set to 1/6d and additional values to 1/3d. Strong chance of both the 4½d sheets here being the better ultramarine shade, not deep ultramarine. Then 1963 Bradbury/Wilkinson castles SG.595a-597a with 2/6d x15 sheets (plates 8, 9, 9A, 11A), 5/- x5 sheets (plates 3A, 4, 4A, 5) and 10/- (plate 2A). Lots more including 1966 World Cup, 1967 Gipsy Moth, '67 British Discoveries set, '68 bridges set, first Machins, etc. No doubt great potential for SG-listed flaws and other interesting varieties here. Catalogue (as single stamps) on the Wildings and Castles alone will be approx. minimum £4,500. If including SG.616 as expected, then over £6000. Additional small vintage albums and early presentation packs/FDCs.

Sold for £650
Estimated at £300 - £400
