FRANCE AND FRENCH COLONIES, ESPECIALLY POST OFFICES ABROAD IN CHINA, Fascinating range of material housed in two albums, one is a Scott National the other a battered Minkus, mint and used, with much non-Scott listed material/back of the book. The only section that is relativley ordered is the French post offices in China inc. early straight line o/ps 1fr, then Canton to 50cts and the olive branch to 1fr, Hoi-Hao, Kouang Tcheou inc the pictorials, m/s, Mong-Tseu with further pictorials to frs, Packhoi to 1fr, Chungking inc. pictorials to 10fr, Yunnan Fou, also post offices in Crete, Alexandria, Port Said, the Levant etc. The second album is France through to eurozone and is the modern end in the balance of a large lot that we have been handling. This album is loaded with booklets and has a huge new issue cost. There is also a section in the first album of 19th and early 20th century revenues, as well as various individual items oddball, as bought at the time in their original lot cards, including early ephemera etc, as well as a few 'postes serbes' o/ps and other diverse items. A very interesting lot that would benefit from a careful and detailed study with an Yvert for both France and colonies, an absorbing viewing
