Large and chaotic accumulation in two oversize cartons, a suitcase and three further containers, with 60+ volumes from stockbooks to vintage albums, plus loose including covers and decent worldwide off-paper masses. Includes a very good US component (1 carton +) with interesting 19th century and back of the book, grills, plate blocks, pre-cancels, lots and lots of 1860s/'70s with chance of unappreciated better printings, as well as a bag of interesting 1910s-1940s postal history incl. USS Lexington at Pearl Harbour (May '41), Marconi 'Ocean Letter' etc. Then a wide range of rest of world and British Commonwealth, again from classics onwards, plus coin covers, US new issues, GB FDCs incl. less-usual cachets, etc, etc. Mixed condition as to be expected. A classic sorter's hoard, being very disorganised with good things to find.
