The first page of exclusively Penny Blacks boasts (11) four margined copies from Plate 1a through Plate 10 plus a cover with a Plate 10 as well, another Penny Black Plate 10 on cover follows as well and three more Blacks plus one with a sheet margin and three nice copies of S.G. 4-6 top another page loaded with better varieties and cancels, Stanley Gibbons 43 with plate numbers 71//225 less 77 are present. Embossed issues include (3) used copies plus (2) covers of The One Shilling (2) copies plus a cover of the Six Shilling and (4) copies of the Ten Shilling, Surface Printed issues to the Two Shilling with various plates shades and S.G. listed varieties.

Great Britain, "Head Hunter" Highly Specialised Machin Head Collection, 1967-99, Since the stamp's debut in 1967, the sculpted profile of QEII, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, has been printed over 200 billion times making it quite simply the most reproduced piece of art in the history of the world.

As a bonus, a collection of FDCs for the pre-decimal Machins including the "Stamps for Cooks" booklet along with various se-tenant combinations.

In addition to this collection, numerous covers, a binder of presentation packs from the 1950s until 2006, a stockbook of duplicates, a separate album published by the Lundy Stamp Bureau in 1976, and other publications including books & booklets on the island itself, such as Lundy: Isle of Puffins and Lundy's War: Memories of 1939-1945, as well as many other pamphlets and newspaper clippings.
