Over 2,500 Fakes, Forgeries, Bogus, Reprints, Locals & Revenues in six stockbooks. Even some genuine! A nice specialized collection sorted alphabetically by country or region. Modest duplication. We noted Argentina forgeries with detailed notes, nice Canadian forgeries including 3 faked Port Hood Provisional covers and bogus Taylor locals, nice selection of forged provinces (BC x 25, NB x 20, NL x 23, NS x 20), BC Police revenue stamp BCP1 cataloging $125, very nice selection of Japanese forgeries with detailed notes, Danish Locals (40), Egypt forgeries including Suez Canal and a nice selection of Cape of Good Hope forgeries (40), page crammed full of Samoa reprints/forgeries, nice Venezuela with forged ship locals. Many of the forgeries are Spiro creations. Revenues and other cinderella material are sprinkled throughout the collection. Many years were spent putting this together.
