Collection of Mint and Used Australia and New Zealand, from the late 1800s to the 1990s, consisting of over a thousand mint and used Australian stamps from 1913 to 1997, displayed in two partially filled 64 page stockbooks. We noted a mixture of mint and used throughout including the modern era, with many part and complete sets, starting with used Kangaroos up to 2 shillings, and Arms of Australia (complete used). Also noted is a good variety of Australian States, as well as back of the book consisting of semi postals, airmails, postage dues, Officials, and Australian Antarctic Territory. The New Zealand collection is made of several hundred stamps mostly used from the 1870s to 1998, displayed in a partly filled 64 page stockbook. A cursory look revealed a used 6 pence Chalon, and many complete sets such as a used Victory set, as well as a nice selection of back of the book issues, including semi postals, airmails, postage dues, Officials, Ross Dependency, Postal Fiscals, Life insurance, and newspaper. Both collections appear to be displayed in chronological order, with very light duplication. Unchecked for varieties, overall fine to very fine. See online photos for a glimpse.

Valuable Dealer Stock of Mint and Used British Commonwealth Countries in 7 Volumes, with most Br. Comm. countries represented, ranging from their earliest days, some up to the 1980s. The stock, which has very little duplication, includes singles, sets, souvenir sheets and multiples, in a fairly equal mix of used, mint hinged and mint never hinged. Each item (single or set, etc.) is neatly identified by a tag denoting Scott (and sometimes also S.G.) catalogue value and asking price. These prices range from 10c to as high as several hundred dollars, and the owner has totaled-up some of the countries with values ranging from $1,000 to over $10,000 each for some of the countries. This is a very meticulously assembled stock, with focus given to varieties, unlisted items, revenue cancels properly identified and priced, etc., and the catalogue values given are fairly recent and up to date. This lot is sure to impress any dealer, in its cleanliness, presentation and with the better than usual quality of the stamps. There are way too many notable items to list here, so a careful viewing is highly recommended to better appreciate the value involved, despite our numerous online pictures.

Valuable Collection of Mint British Commonwealth in Ten Albums, 1930s-1960s, with a few thousand stamps, with representation from A to Z issuing countries, with roughly 98% completeness for each country for the given years. A cursory check indicated just a few of the better sets with Scott #s Bahamas 100-117 (n.h., c.v. $190 total); Cayman Islands 85-96 (missing #94, m.h. $200 total); Bahrain 32-37 (n.h., $241 total); Bermuda 118-128 (m.h., $265 total); Leeward Islands 103-115 (m.h, $149 total); Falkland Islands 84-96 (m.h., $361 total); Hong Kong 178-179 (m.h., $225 total); India 203-206 (m.h., $557 total), along with many sets cataloguing $50 to $200 and up (potentially much higher considering possible never hinged premiums). The lot also includes 13 large sized envelopes containing British Commonwealth country collections that the owner did not put into albums, having the same level of completeness and catalogue values as mentioned above. Fresh colours throughout, which collectors and dealers will appreciate, with a spot check noting a mix of hinged and never hinged material. The stamps are in crystal mounts, hinged onto the pages, with roughly 30% of the mounts off the pages, which should not detract from the completeness of the collection. A potentially high cataloguing collection, in-person viewing recommended as our online photos show only a small sampling.
