France 1/137

Old Time Used Collection, 1849 to 1902, in black mounts on quadrille pages in an Elbe album, starts off with a good selection of imperforate Céres and Napoléon issues, followed by same but perforated, then imperforate Bordeaux issues, and so on, and stops just before the Sower issue. Close to complete in period including high values, with an emphasis on shades, postmarks, printings, etc. A great collection for the postmark collector, with many dated, lozenge numerals and more. The catalogue value given is for up to 1876 only (all counted as cheapest, with no premiums given to postmarks, shades or multiples), but the collection continues after that, with a group of 23x Paris star cancels, followed by a decent collection of Sage issues (both perforated and imperforate Colony issues), Mouchon, Merson, etc. Also includes a few mint issues. Overall fine, with some faults as expected (the 1fr Céres was not counted in cv), still many very fine stamps included.
