1853-1900 mint and used collection arranged on assorted pages and stockbook, we note: 1853 1d and 4d issues, on slightly blued paper, 1855-63 range of values to 1/- with duplication, 1861 1d vermilion 'Woodblock', used cut to shape, 1d carmine, sadly cleaned to remove obliteration (accompanied by RPS Certificate 1995) and 4d pale milky blue, used, sampling of DLR printings and later 'Seated Hope' issued with noted minor surcharge varieties, some postal history and KEVII issues, mixed condition, still a good lot from this popular and classic area.
