Saudi Arabia, Desert Rose Selection, 1934-91. Semi-specialized collection housed in stockbook, binder of homemade pages and a couple individual album or stock pages; binder features a solid array of Ibn Saud- and Faisal-cartouched Dam, Oil Refinery and Airmail sets (some more complete than others), all arranged by cartouche, design and watermark varieties —and includes some surprisingly better items; stockpage includes mint sets including #187-191 and 196-197, plus a selection of other sets from the period through the 1970s, '80s and early '90s (some duplicated); the real treasure—something we've not seen before—is the stockbook, which contains complete panes of 25 of the 1934-57 Ibn Saud Tughra issue (#159-165), First Issue Airs (#C1-C2; C3 in block of 10) and 1943 Postal Tax issue (#RA4, with a possible RA4a); #161 present as a full sheet, with two panes of 25; selvage issues on a few sheets, but the printers' imprints alone make up for these, Very Fine overall, one to make you say, "What a hobby".
