Cat No:33

1864 1p rose red Queen Victoria Plate Collection, all neatly arranged and identified in a stockbook. With 151 different plate numbers, from #71 to 225, including all of the better 200 to 225 range. Plate 225 is represented on a fine, lightly cancelled stamp with a diagonal crease. We counted 430 stamps in all (including pairs and a few on piece), and each plate is represented with between 1 and 10 stamps, typically 2 to 4. This is a better than usual collection of these and took several years to assemble, with mostly clear and easily readable plate numbers, and would make an ideal collection for cancel collectors as well. Overall fine or better and does not need much to complete. (Image)

We note a lovely appearing plate 225 with socked on the nose Liverpool FEB.20.1880 squared circle, unfortunately clipped at top.
