image Extensive Collection of Plate 11-175 1841-53 1d red brown Queen Victoria Imperforates, all neatly mounted and written up on 22 quadrille pages. Too many items for a complete listing but the entire collection is scanned online. We counted 13 covers plus 159 singles, a pair and a strip of three. There are examples from plates 1-70, 102, 114, 116, 125, 126, 128, 133-135, 137, 152, 153, 156, 160, 163, 157, 169, 170 and 172. There are numerous interesting flaws included, such as "P over K", recuts, repairs, breaks in upper right box, states, ray flaws, "E" and "T" flaws, Ivory Heads, "Blind A", a major re-entry (with 2005 Karl-Albert Louis certificate), "misplaced A", worn plates, last page shows a matched pair of plate from position RH (perforated and imperforate), etc. One of the covers is franked with a plate inscription single. We also note many better postmarks throughout, including many Maltese Crosses (some identified), and numeral grids, etc, see scans. The numbered Maltese Crosses were lotted separately. A lovely and clean collection, with mostly four margin copies and the usual high quality Mr. Hillson demanded. (Image)
