Lot Description

1500

Mint and Used Collections and Dealer Stock, 1915 to 1993, with thousands of mostly used stamps of Australia starting with Roos in 4 stockbooks, 6 binders with mostly manilla stock sheets and 1 Scott Specialty album. The collections range from sparse to partial sets (usually lacking the higher denominations) and the stock has as many as 20 or more of each stamp in manilla stock sheets, these mostly from the 1960s to 80s. One binder contains MNH stamps, souvenir sheets and booklets in black mounts on home made pages from 1980 to 1993, with good face value easily over AU$150. Also includes one 1997 annual collection, complete with stamps (face value AU$46.85). We saw some Australian States and Australian Antarctic Territory as well. There is much duplication in this lot, but also opportunity for varieties, papers, watermarks and postmarks, as we did not check for these. Our photos show only a glimpse at the contents, best viewed in advance for a complete understanding of the lot.

Barbados Parallel Mint and Used Collection to 1991, in 4 albums with lots of extras such as perforation and watermark varieties both old and modern, and frequent pairs, blocks and gutter pairs from 1970 on. The mint stamps appear to be mostly never hinged from about 1966. This collection is nearly complete as mint and only marginally less complete as used from 1897 to 1990. There are too many great items to list, but we noted Scott 81-89 (c.v. $362), 90/100 (no 97, still c.v. $283), 103-09 in both mint and used (c.v. $201), 127-39 mint and used (c.v. $617, plus a violet 3/- value unlisted in Scott but priced £75 in SG) and the list goes on and on. An exceptional and very fine collection. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (Scan 5) (Scan 6) (Scan 7) (Scan 8) (Scan 9) (Scan 10) (All Scans)
