French Colonies, Nearly Complete Used Collection, 1859-1945, Hinged on album pages, a very nearly complete collection of the general issues for the colonies up to 1906; as a matter of fact, it is only missing #17 & J14, but even more striking is the quality, with most well-centered and nicely cancelled, imperfs mostly 4-margins, and many of the better stamps signed. To compliment this, there is a secondary collection in a hingeless Lindner album with many of those same stamps present as well, such as #1-6, 21-23, 24-36, 38-45, 56-59, and J14 which was missing from the first collection. This is then followed up by five pages of these same stamps cancelled in various colonies, such as Cochin (China), Guadeloupe, Mayotte, Nossi Be, Reunion, Shanghai & others. Also in this same album is a collection of Martinique with such better as used #12-16, 18-20, 26-28, generally Fine to Very Fine, entirely viewable online. Shipping charges apply - weight 4.4 lbs.
