1947/2002: Extensive Lifetime Collection - Albums, Stockbooks & Postal History. A substantial and far-reaching “old-time” collection formed over several decades, comprising more than 45 albums and stockbooks, together with
additional boxes and a large quantity of loose material. The holding includes an almost comprehensive representation of unused and used issues across the period, featuring: large multiples, blocks, and complete sheets, listed and
unlisted varieties, overprints and specimens, imperforate multiples and blocks, Bahawalpur, postal history material covering the entire period, strong in Independence material, including Independence transitional cover dated 21
August 1947 carried by rail cross border. Postmarks study/assembly, as well as instruction markings. Extensive study and unsorted accumulation of district surcharges, machine overprints (errors, settings & usages). Selection
of 1963 United Nations Security Force, military mail and civilian censor. A substantial and excellently comprehensive study of Postal Stationery, unused and used included, encompassing registered, airmail, 1971/73 POW stationery
used and unused, lettersheet/aerogramme, envelopes, registered, Red Cross and postal cards, with many items demonstrating commercial use as well as Specimen examples. Parts of the material are arranged chronologically and by value,
district; many pages handwritten-up with notations and research notes as a structured study of the issues, their use and overprint characteristics - reflecting careful and knowledgeable accumulation. The collection contains many
better items, including scarce and rare varieties, postmarks and frankings, offering significant scope for further research, expansion, or commercial breakdown. Large quanity of unsorted mail and auction purchases yet to be placed
within the collection remain in boxes. Condition is mixed in places, although broadly fine, with a good proportion of very fine material to be found; some faults due to enviroment, age affected, as to be expected in a holding of this
size and scope. A rare opportunity to acquire a major multi-decade assembly of considerable depth and value. Undoubtedly with much to discover.
