 1862/1970: Principally unused collection in three well filled albums with a good range
beginning with classic semi-classic, where the quality needs to be inspected carefully. One example may be the 1889 45 c. grey unused which is present with large part og. which shows traces of tropicalisation. The 1901 40 c. brown and 50 c. lilac are
also included with slightly less browning and original gum. The collection continues with many good issues, but often with gum defects. Careful inspection will yield some better quality item, but particularly the earlier issues are effectively
