It is immediately apparent that the owner carefully chose each stamp for quality of stamp but also readability of plate number, and the key high numbers are each quite clear. A nice and useful collection. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (Scan 5) (All Scans)	Estimate $ 200 SOLD for C$225.00 Will close during Public Auction
905		127-138	1902-11 ½d to 1sh King Edward VII Set, mint hinged, overall fine.	Scott U$ 764 SOLD for C$60.00 Will close during Public Auction
906		142	1902 £1 Green King Edward VII, a well centered and fresh stamp which has been regummed, possibly to appear as mint (traces of red crayon, or possibly offset on back), still a clean and very presentable stamp.	Estimate $ 250 SOLD for C$250.00 Will close during Public Auction
907	O	142	1902 £1 Green King Edward VII, used with oval registration cancels, a fresh and well centered stamp, very fine.	Scott U$ 825 SOLD for C$160.00 Will close during Public Auction
908	O	142a	1911 £1 Deep Green King Edward VII, used with a neat, and centrally struck Jersey OC 23 / 12 circular datestamp, fine. A lovely stamp.	Scott U$ 850 SOLD for C$225.00 Will close during Public Auction
909		142F	Circa 1911 £1 Green King Edward VII Lowden Forgery, a well done photo lithography forgery of the stamp, with a forged Jersey parcel post postmark tying it to a small piece of brown paper, fine and scarce. John Stewart Lowden was a stamp dealer who was arrested after having sold over 2,000 of these stamp forgeries. He usually sold them affixed to a brown piece of paper, mimicking how many Jersey usages were found (tobacco industry mailings), and when the brown paper was soaked off, the "impressed" watermark would wash away (this one is still attacked to its original paper). A great item to add to a collection of Great Britain, King Edward VII, Jersey or forgeries.	Estimate $ 200 SOLD for C$100.00 Will close during Public Auction
910	/	159-172, 183	1912-1922 ½p to 1sh King George V Set, two black stock sheets containing a collection of 84 mint stamps, including the second printing of the 9d. A quick look revealed some inverted or reversed watermarks, but we recommend a closer inspection, as the owner had each value separated into small groups, sometimes for shade differences, sometimes for watermarks. The catalogue value given includes premiums for never hinged stamps, but we have not counted the watermark varieties, or the different printings (Dies), so actual value will be higher, as we only used the least expensive listing for each value. Overall fine to very fine. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans)	Scott U$ 1,673 SOLD for C$160.00 Will close during Public Auction
911		181	1919 10sh Blue King George V Seahorse, mint hinged, with light toning spot on gum, else very fine.	Scott U$ 525 SOLD for C$130.00 Will close during Public Auction
