British Commonwealth, Collection, 1870's-1980's. Stunning used collection in six Scott Specialty albums, containing a lovely array of sets and better singles in the $50 to $500+ range, with primary value in that popular 1890's to 1950's period. Collection is representative of most areas with the exception of Great Britain, Canada and Australia proper, with many not often seen used, especially in such clean fresh quality. Highlights are too many to list completely, but we mention a few to give an idea of the great desirability of this collection: all used, Bahamas Queen Victoria to £1, Barbados George V sets complete to 3sh (one has 2sh and 3sh mint), Bechuanaland George V pictorial to 10sh (some mint low values), British Honduras Edward VII $1 and $2, Cayman Islands Edward VII to 5sh, George V to 10sh, Ceylon George V to 20R, Cook first set (1p with S.O.N. "loose letter" oval), Gilbert and Ellice George V to 5sh, Leeward Islands Edward VII, George V to 5sh, George VI to £1, Montserrat Tercentenary to 5sh, George VI to £1, Nauru first set, 5sh seahorse, freighters set, New South Wales with some high value Queen Victoria's VF, New Zealand to 5sh, Mt. Cook, Auckland exhibition 6d mint, scarce Queen Elizabeth II provisional, Laughing boys mint, Northern Rhodesia George V 10sh, George VI and Queen Elizabeth to 20sh, Nysasland George V to 5sh, scarce first postage due set, Pakistan George VI period complete, Somaliland Protectorate with George VI first top values, South West Africa with 20sh pictorial and pictorial airmails, Tonga first pictorial to 5sh, Tristan with first seven definitive sets complete, Turks and Caicos first set 1sh to 3sh, Union of South Africa George V £1, Virgin Islands both Edward VII era sets to 5sh, second George V to 5sh. Competition may be strong on this one, as clean used collections rarely come along. It will be worth a stretch, nearly all Very Fine. Scott approximately $63,700+ (Owner's) Estimate $10,000 - 15,000.

British Commonwealth, Collection, 1860-1960. "opportunity knocks" with this two volume Scott specialized collection, with innumerable stamps hiding, whether loose in between pages, some in glassines, or mounted under other stamps, often with better mint under cheaper used, or the many never hinged to be found among loose items, including complete sets. Areas include America's, Europe and Oceania and Borneo area, with most of the value in medium to better items from 1900 to 1955 period, though some decent 19th century is also present. Highlights are too numerous to list, but in addition to many complete George VI sets and modest duplication of better printings or perforations (note Fiji and Gibraltar), 1935 Jubilee sets, often both mint and used, some never hinged, some better 1948 weddings, plus some useful singles in $25 to $300 range (scattered throughout). Note occasional revenue items, with some George V high revenue usage (valued appropriately). This lot will produce great profits if broken down into country lots.
