RPS), 1840 2d vert. strip of three on cover (faults), set of London numbered MCs on 1841 2d (mixed margins), a very miscut 1841 2d blue on cover (showing two halves of adjoining stamps as a single stamp), mixed condition, seemingly sometimes chosen for their striking cancels rather than their margins, an interesting old-time collection, plus some extras incl. 1929 PUC £1 used, unused 2d Mulready, 1d used Mulready and each Embossed value on single franking covers.
