Worldwide

A sprawling accumulation in two parts, firstly 28 larger volumes and 16+ smaller FDC/presentation pack binders, the former including British Commonwealth collection in six loose-leaf albums with useful mint material, generally short sets and lower denominations, however on a quick inspection we note a 1935 silver jubilee mint set and MNH 1948 silver wedding set, also plate numbers and imprints are generally a feature. Then a Great Britain collection in four loose-leaf albums, very mixed condition, beginning with three penny blacks with faults. Secondly, many 10s of 1000s of mostly 20th century stamps in off-paper mixtures organised by country in small or medium plastic containers filling four very large cartons and six medium containers, including Middle East and Gulf States, Far East, etc. Some parts with duplication, however many countries very diverse and interesting as if stripped from collections. The whole accumulation in containers that cover about two folding tables. A magnificent lot for the sorter. Sold for the benefit of Keithley and Worth Valley Railway Trust.

Sold for £300
Estimated at £350 - £500
