Worldwide Collection with strong Spain

Collection housed in 8 albums plus a few vintage stockbooks, loose pages in filing box, old glassine envelopes, FDCs from 1950s onwards, etc. Storage in Spain has resulted in frequent toning issues, however this is by no means the rule, especially on the pages added more recently. Fortunately some of the best material is the least affected, including the excellent Spain volume, from #1 onwards, with good mint sets of the 1930s and much Civil War period including souvenir sheets. Highlights are 1938 submarine set with clean key 15ptas (cat.£550), usual slight overall toned gum (SG.857a-857f), militia set (SG.861b-861j) the 10ptas (cat.£65) with spot on one perf otherwise clean set including the key 1.20ptas (cat.£200) and 5ptas (cat.£375), 1950 Franco's Canaries visit ovpts good format (SG.1149A/1150A, cat.£400), etc. Material from 1960 onwards appears complete and fresh incl. Velasquez m/s set. In other albums noted GB line-engraved onwards, Russia, Portugal and Colonies, Italy, Latin America, etc. plus a filing box of separate pages incl. French Andorra 1955 30fr, 40fr, 75fr and airmail high values to 500fr (cat. £500). The stockbooks also significant, loaded with stacked MNH sets including Spanish Colonies, potential on the franco defins to high values, another Velasquez sheet set, Andorra 1955 Europa 8ptas (cat. £180), etc. See photos.
