Collection of Mint and Used Samoa and Western Samoa, starts out with a detailed study of the "Express" issues neatly typed-up on quadrille pages, including different printings, states (types, for a total of 24 stamps), 10 Fournier forgeries, 6 Yardley forgeries and a few reprints. Also includes a complete set of 8 sheets of 40 of the reprints, apparently purchased in 1951 from a collector in Samoa (accompanied by a page from "Stamp" advertising the sale of these reprints). The rest of the binder is a Samoa and Western Samoa collection to about 1980 on Scott pages (owner's old c.v. $1,681), with a mix of mint and used, and several complete sets etc. A useful lot for the enthusiast, overall fine to very fine. Online photos only show a small portion of the collection. (Image)
