General - World - Predominantly GB. Under the instruction of the executor we offer the collection, property of a late collector intact as received. Comprising some 40 volumes, a predominantly British mint / used collection spanning the period QV through mid-period QEII to circa 2003/2004 - the substantial collection, the vast majority being housed within those previously popular Errimar Series Amherst 'midi' sized springback loose-leaf albums with quadrille leaves. Amongst the copious quantity of GB, particular highlights noted include useful mint seahorses (more follows). QV from 1d black just 4 margin plate 3 FU, (no 1840 2d blue), 1d red plates used range to pl 154, pretty used surface printed, nothing outstanding, however occasionally a fine mint value interspersed e.g. 2d. pale rose SG168 fine mint (SG£350), most of these ranges being ‘representative’ with absence of high values, we note a particularly delightful mint o.g. 1883 9d dull green ex the lilac and greens set catalogued £1,250= (SG195), few weak ‘officials’, but as we move into Edward VII note increasing frequency of mint, often hinged – sometimes heavily, but odd UM interspersed, also used, no high values. KGV in similar vein (no PUC £1), but useful representative mint seahorses incl hinged Bradbury Wilkinson 2s.6d x 3 shades, 5s., and nice mint 10s. slightly heavily hinged, similar mint 1934 re-engraved seahorses – possibly UM but creamy brownish gum. Regionals – apparently a volume for each, most encased in those difficult to check ‘split back’ type mounts – but each random checked - apparently UM NH. Noted Northern Ireland Type II 17p N143a (SG£175), decimal multiples cylinder blocks of 4 (good ‘face’). Wildings – Excellent fairly comprehensive ranges / sets, watermarks – INV / Sideways, surprisingly no 605a, but good Castles with Waterlow UM, 1st DLR UM, 2nd DLR UM, - these alone retail £100’s. Pre decimal machin ranges, followed by substantial mint GB decimal 'postage' machins / commems to early 2000’s, some multiples, low emphasis of (no value) GB FDC's – few better earlier 60’s commems FDC’s, 1980's / 90's, and oddments of Malaysia / Singapore incl a few mint 1948 Weddings (not HK), insignificant British Europe, Unverified BERLIN ovpts heavily hinged – all part of the collection. A well-known philatelic company offered to purchase the entire collection as seen for the sum of GBP£2,600 so that upon close examination it is obvious that the collection has a resale value in excess of £5,000, and was previously insured for £22,000 although it is uncertain upon what basis the collection was insured - possibly catalogue value which may bear lower relationship to real value. If you feel that the collection may be suited to yourself, please contact UPA head office and ask for describer 'call-back' in order to ascertain highlights, emphasis and suitability to your requirements. Overall condition is good. A heavy lot, shipping to UK buyers may be in several heavy boxes at just a nominal extra £14.50 to pay, overseas shipping costs will be more substantial - OVERSEAS BIDDERS PLEASE ENQUIRE FOR SHIPPING COSTS (Start Price = £3,200.00)
