Lot No: 2227

Basic mostly used collection on well-filled Seven Seas pages with a good number of better stamps throughout but it's a bit like looking for the wheat among the chaff, lots of wrong identifications, faked imperfs, etc, condition very mixed and nothing has been expertised. Caveat emptor = buyer beware!
