 Box Full
of GB Squared Circles on mostly picture post cards plus some covers, with about 450 in all. Strength is in King Edward VII with some Victorian items. This collector was careful to chose only the best strikes, most being complete and fully
readable, and appear to be all different. The collection also includes a Barbados squared circle on very fine cover to New York plus 6 early London strikes, many of which are fancy geometrics, one of which the owner paid $50 for a long time ago plus
some suburban offices in two small binders. The overall quality is very fine or better, and over two thirds of the material is sleeved. Unchecked by us for better strikes, etc.
