11-15

Extensive Collection / Accumulation of the 1864-70 Royal Emblems Issues with 3-Ring Numeral Cancels, starts with a collection of 100 different numbers (#1 to 227) on the 4s value, mounted on 6 pages, annotated by the corresponding town names. Also includes 5 stock pages full of additional numbers on all the values, many of which could be incorporated into the main collection. This includes the 2s (x14), 3s (x9), 4s (x200), 8s (x3) and 16s (x4). We note that some of the stamps have the ideal combination of a town postmark plus the numeral, and there are also some shade varieties, unchecked by us for the much better perf. 12½ variety. Some faults here and there, but the majority of the cancels are readable, and many are lovely socked on the nose examples. A wonderful and rare opportunity for the specialist.
