1895-1997 Mint and used collection on pages including most surcharge and overprint issues, officials and postage dues, an interesting lot. (100s).

1984-85 Famine Relief in Ethiopia, covers sent through British F.P.O 143 (29, some illustrated flown covers with R.A.F cachets or signatures), printed covers or cachets of the German Air Force (8) or Red Cross ship "Flora", French Air Force, printed cover and cachets (2) of the U.N Emergency Operations in Ethiopia, Polish Air Force cover and notepaper, also associated letters, photos, etc., all philatelic but an unusual lot. (43+).

1943 (Sep 14) Air Mail cover from Canada franked 30c, addressed to Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, with Addis Ababa arrival backstamp (Dec 3) and red oval framed "O.A.T". An unusual cover.

(6).

1947 (Mar 20) Air Resumption surcharge set of three on unaddressed First Day Cover; and October 13th registered Air Mail cover from Addis-Ababa to Gander bearing Roosevelt 65c marginal strip of four, presumably sent on a military or testing flight as internal Ethiopian Airlines flights did not resume until 1948. Scarce stamps on cover, fewer than 5,000 sets of the Air Resumption surcharges printed, whilst the Roosevelt stamps were largely sold to stamp dealers and were demonetised in late 1947 due to heavy speculation. (2).

Two very scarce Latin American destinations, the 1943 cover with small corner faults, but the only recorded WW2 cover to Brazil. (2).
