image Valuable Dealer Stock of Mint and Used British Commonwealth Countries in 7 Volumes, with most Br. Comm. countries represented, ranging from their earliest days, some up to the 1980s. The stock, which has very little duplication, includes singles, sets, souvenir sheets and multiples, in a fairly equal mix of used, mint hinged and mint never hinged. Each item (single or set, etc.) is neatly identified by a tag denoting Scott (and sometimes also S.G.) catalogue value and asking price. These prices range from 10c to as high as several hundred dollars, and the owner has totaled-up some of the countries with values ranging from $1,000 to over $10,000 each for some of the countries. This is a very meticulously assembled stock, with focus given to varieties, unlisted items, revenue cancels properly identified and priced, etc., and the catalogue values given are fairly recent and up to date. This lot is sure to impress any dealer, in its cleanliness, presentation and with the better than usual quality of the stamps. There are way too many notable items to list here, so a careful viewing is highly recommended to better appreciate the value involved, despite our numerous online pictures. (Image)

image Valuable Collection of Mint British Commonwealth in Ten Albums, 1930s-1960s, with a few thousand stamps, with representation from A to Z issuing countries, with roughly 98% completeness for each country for the given years. A cursory check indicated just a few of the better sets with Scott #s Bahamas 100-117 (n.h., c.v. $190 total); Cayman Islands 85-96 (missing #94, m.h. $200 total); Bahrain 32-37 (n.h., $241 total); Bermuda 118-128 (m.h., $265 total); Leeward Islands 103-115 (m.h, $149 total); Falkland Islands 84-96 (m.h., $361 total); Hong Kong 178-179 (m.h., $225 total); India 203-206 (m.h., $557 total), along with many sets cataloguing $50 to $200 and up (potentially much higher considering possible never hinged premiums). The lot also includes 13 large sized envelopes containing British Commonwealth country collections that the owner did not put into albums, having the same level of completeness and catalogue values as mentioned above. Fresh colours throughout, which collectors and dealers will appreciate, with a spot check noting a mix of hinged and never hinged material. The stamps are in crystal mounts, hinged onto the pages, with roughly 30% of the mounts off the pages, which should not detract from the completeness of the collection. A potentially high cataloguing collection, in-person viewing recommended as our online photos show only a small sampling. (Image)

image Collections of British Indian and South Pacific Ocean Island Countries, with the following countries: Nauru, Norfolk Island, Cook Island, Niue, Pitcairn Island, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Palau, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Seychelles, Tokelau and British Indian Ocean Territory. Most of these run from their beginnings to about 1989 and have good completion (to varying degrees, depending on country), with complete sets (many better throughout), some FDC, some blocks of four, some booklets, souvenir sheets, a few presentation folders, stationery, etc. The majority of the material here is NH, save for a few early issues which are either hinged or used (sometimes both mint and used), and the total catalogue value should be quite high. A great offering of these popular countries, all neatly displayed in 8 volumes. See our sample pictures online for a small idea, better yet plan on seeing this one in person. (Image)
