1202

Great Britain mint and used stamp collection/accumulation, Victorian to modern, a well-organised group housed on black Hagner pages, in a quadrille album, loose stock pages, and a three-ring binder, with heavy duplication alongside occasional better items or sets, typical of this collector's approach, offering strong potential for finds; notable strength lies in the loose stock pages, with substantial catalogue value in early Victorian material including two Penny Blacks (faults), imperforate and perforated line-engraved issues, several 2d blues, and efforts to identify watermark, blued paper, and engraving varieties, some with attractive Maltese Cross cancellations; the quadrille album begins sparsely but includes solid surface-printed representations; the three-ring binder covers mostly used commemoratives from the 1980s to 2013, with many genuinely used multiples not often seen, a collector-formed grouping that promises discovery and reward for the specialist willing to engage with the early issues, well worth the starting bid.
