Egypt, Highly Specialized Mint & Used Collection, 1866-1952, A clean and meticulously labeled homemade collection of mint and used in one binder. Although laid out according to Scott number, it dives much deeper into color varieties & shades, plate variations, inverted watermarks and perforated and imperforate varieties referencing other philatelic works on Egypt, most notably The Nile Post by Joseph Chalhoub & Charles Hass. Just a few of the better stamps you will encounter include used #1d, 4, 6, 15, 42a (inverted surcharge), 224 and mint 3c, 108-113, 149, 168-171, 172-176, 189-190, 224, L2. And if that wasn't specialized enough for you, the collector then presents six pages on Egyptian cancellations, often citing Peter Smith's in-depth research from his book Egypt: Stamps & Postal History. This is then followed by additional varieties outside the scope of Scott, mint strips & blocks, Interpostal Seals from the 1880s, some postal stationery and revenues, and Egyptian stamps used in Sudan. As a bonus, we are including a stockbook of very useful mint and used duplicates. We urge you to have a look at this unique collection presented in its entirety online. Condition varies a bit, but overall Fine to Very Fine. Shipping charges apply - weight 8.2 lbs. (PDF for this Lot) (Video for this lot) (Video2 for this lot) (Image)
