image French Colonies, Mint & Used Collection, 1892-2000. The majority of France's colonies were in Africa, but this lot covers the other areas of French influence, from the Southern & Antarctic Territories to St. Pierre & Miquelon and everything in between. Hinged on Minkus pages, this collection includes Syria (1919-1984), which looks almost complete after WWII and also includes Alaouites and the United Arab Republic. A collection of Lebanon (1924-1988) very well-filled to the mid-70's with mint and used. A very impressive collection of New Caledonia (1892-1996), well-filled to the late 70's of about 95% mint and also including Wallis & Futuna (1920-1990). There are also collections of French Guiana (1892-1947), New Hebrides (1908-1978), Martinique (1892-1947), Guadeloupe (1891-1947), Indo-China (1892-1945) and French India (1892-1952), which are predominantly mint. But the highlights, and most eye-popping material of this lot are the following three areas with images available for viewing - French Southern & Antarctic Territories (1955-2000), which is entirely mint and appears to be complete. French Polynesia (1892-2000), a mixture of mint/used until the mid-60's, then almost entirely mint from then on. And St. Pierre & Miquelon (1892-1999), an abundant collection of 95% mint. If you're a collector of French colonies, you won't want to miss this one! Fine to Very Fine. Shipping charges apply - weight 6.4 lbs.
