Box Full of GB Squared Circles on mostly picture post cards plus some covers, with about 450 in all. Strength is in King Edward VII with some Victorian items. This collector was careful to chose only the best strikes, most being complete and fully readable, and appear to be all different. The collection also includes a Barbados squared circle on very fine cover to New York plus 6 early London strikes, many of which are fancy geometrics, one of which the owner paid $50 for a long time ago plus some suburban offices in two small binders. The overall quality is very fine or better, and over two thirds of the material is sleeved. Unchecked by us for better strikes, etc. (Image)

Two 1924 Mount Everest Expedition Cards, both with Mount Everest Expedition labels tied by "Rongbuk Glacier Base Camp" postmarks (one in black and one in red). One mailed from Calcutta to Canada (franked 1½ Anna KGV single) and one from Tibet (?) to Liverpool England (franked with three KGV combination). Both cards have a picture on back of the base camp in Tibet, and have what appears to be a hand written message, but both messages are identical. The card to Canada has toning spots on both sides, the other is fine with light corner creases. (Image)
