Excellent collection housed in 11 albums/binders, with issues ranging from QV to early QEII, though with the main focus generally on KGV and KGVI. Perfectionist's quality here in the choice of the neatest cds postmarks the collector could find and far better than usually seen even on the classics. Also good shades are often quietly present without annotation. Highlights include Barbados with over sixty Britannias imperf and perf incl. wmk vars, through to the 1916-19 set, Ceylon with good range of classics, Falklands KEVII 3/- green, KGV 1912-20 3/- and 5/-, 1929-37 10/- shades and KGVI 1938 set, Ireland with wonderful range of postmarks from line-engraved through to Govt. Parcels 1/- (for the postal history see Lot 8), followed by superb seahorses ovpts, 1937 St. Patrick high values, etc, Malta starting with GB QV pairs used in Malta, 1890 1d block of four with Livorno squared circle postmark, self-government high values, 1922-26 to 10/-, 1926 'postage' ovpt set, 1926-27 set (less 4d), 1928 ovpts set and 1930 10/-. Then Nyasaland KGV high values and KGVI set to £1, Pakistan first set, useful New Zealand and Canada, as well as a strong volume of Australia and States including New South Wales with 1850s octagonals with excellent margins, 1888 20/- (#262), etc, Western Australian penny black swan #1, the Australia proper with 'roos to 10/-, 5/- Harbour Bridge, etc. Also lots of 1935 jubilee sets and 1948 silver wedding incl. Hong Kong. Due to a distinct preference for the cleanest examples on the part of this collector there are inevitably favour cancels here, however virtually no revenue cancels excepting a very few on the Ceylon. Re-use of pages has left hinge marks, however the collection is entirely intact as received and extremely pleasing overall. Approximate projected catalogue well over £20,000. Lots 8 and 207 are also from this collector.
