Two Extensive Collections / Studies of Used Admirals, in two thick albums, each with many hundreds of stamps, with each value (incl. War Tax and coils) collected and identified for shades, printings, dies, papers, in-depth studies on retouches and re-entries, large assemblages of straight edges, dry and wet printings, guide dots and guidelines, pairs, all basic values in blocks of four, saw some dated postmarks, some mint hinged stamps here and there, and more. A great lot for the specialist, our online photos only show a very small sample and so we recommend in-person viewing of this one.

104/120, etc.

Valuable Stock of Mint Admiral Issues, with one to several of most issues in singles, pairs and a few blocks, with the vast majority of the material being never hinged, based on a large sampling we did. We note many shades, papers, printings, and the material is quite fresh throughout, noting only a few gum skips, etc. Also includes a small selection of coils, compound perfs and surcharges. Centering varies from fine to very fine, and our catalogue value is for all mint never hinged, not taking into account the very few lightly hinged stamps, and for the least expensive shade / paper / printing only. A nice quality lot for online dealers, all pages are scanned online. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (Scan 5) (Scan 6) (Scan 7) (All Scans)
