France Collection of Used Bordeaux Issues, with examples of every denomination, including duplication, sometimes to show nice postmarks such as large numeral lozenges. A very nice quality collection, with many four margin stamps, many illustrations explaining the Types, transfers, etc. We note a 4 margin example of the 20c Type I (c.v. $550), etc. Comes with information on this issue, illustrations of plate positions, etc. The Scott catalogue value is for the 44 stamps only, and does not include the couple of Colonial imperforates used as comparison, nor does it include a value for the two covers dated January 1871. All pages scanned online. (Image)
