image Collection of Printing Varieties on 2c and 3c Small Queens, all displayed and described on 13 black stock sheets, collected for re-entries (incl. many major re-entries), but also contains other printing flaws, as for example we noted six 3c "neck flaws" of varying degrees, with some quite strong "bites". We also noted many early copper reds, postmarks, and other desirable Small Queen attributes. A nice collection, all scanned online. (Image)

image Lovely Calendar Collection of the 10c Small Queen Value, with a total of 107 fully dated stamps (111 if you count the two pairs and strip of three), ranging from DEC.23.1874 to JUL.9.1898. We note six #40e (pale milky rose lilac, perf 11½ x 12), other shades of the 11½ x 12 perf, several magenta shades, at least one "pitted 0" variety (dated DEC.5.1893), and so on. The collector has carefully identified each stamp with date, postmark, perforation measurement, Shoemaker paper type, etc. A very difficult collection to assemble, especially in this nice quality and with all stamps fully dated. All are scanned online. (Image)
