India, British and Portuguese, an Extensive Accumulation. A very well filled and diverse holding of many thousands of stamps, specifically focusing in these 2 areas of India, there is duplication, sometimes up to a dozen or so of each, often however that is uniform for complete series with much focus on commemoratives. British India starts from the first issues imperfs onwards with a good range of Queen Victoria and King Edward VII, with virtually everything stacked "stamp on stamp", making an interesting and challenging value. A similar pattern with King George V and King George VI through to back of the book, as well as useful mint modern, apparently very desirable in today's hot market for India. Portuguese India also strong with much from the 1950s again in complete series from late 1940s with our lady Fatima issues, Jose Vaz, ruins of Sancoale Church as well as Map of Damao and Nagar and Arms of Vasco da Gama through to 1959 Coin Manual, etc. This description is only the tip of the iceberg, must be viewed, completely uncatalogued.

Indian Native States, an Important, If Not Unique Collection of Revenues. Housed in 11 substantial albums, well written up and highly specialized. Definitely the best and most specialized collections of the area that we have ever seen. It is no exaggeration to say that it is beautiful and would be virtually impossible to replace. There are 11 large albums, chronologically organized State by State, representing a lifetime's work of the hunt and collating such, all one of a kind, denomination by denomination, there are about 1350 examples, occasionally with revenue stamps applied to the documents in multiple format with extensive revenue papers, all well researched and written up. This is a very difficult collection to value, some of these are so attractive and scarce that if offered individually on the net could easily fetch $50 to $100 each+++. Some of the Indian Natives States here, for example, include Alwar, Aundh, Baghal, Baroda, Benares, Bhajji (particularly attractive fancy cancels), Bhopal, Bikaner, Bundi, Chhata pur, Dhami, Dhar, Dholpur, Gwalior Indore, Idar, Indaragh, Jaipur (Jeypoor), Jaisalmer-Jubbal, Jodhpur, Jhind, Jhalawar, Kotah, Kishangarh, Lakhtar-Mysore, Melar Kotla, Miraj, Mewar, Nawanager, Pudukkottai, Patiala, Partabgarh, Rajgarh, Shapura, Sangli, Travancore-Cochin, Tonk, etc etc. Many of these have colorful Maharajahs, coats of arms, very ornate designs, each and every one a collectable item in its own right. A once in a lifetime opportunity for a dealer or collector, especially at our valuation range of about $5 each. (Ex-Cardinal Spellman Philatelic Museum deaccessioned).
Estimate $4,000 - 6,000.

Indian Native States, an Old Time Collection. Several 100s of stampss, mint and used, even a little postal history. We have had no time to go through this carefully, however a quick inspection revealed this collection has a good showing from States such as Alwar, Bamra, Bhopal including officials, Bhor, Bundi, Bussahir, Chamba, Charkhari, Cochin all the way through to Wadhwan, well worth further inspection. The Convention States also has interesting material but not as challenging and certainly more obvious from QV onwards. The collection overall is loaded with distinct possibilities especially in the 19th century and is ideal for the specialist of Native States to enjoy a good viewing.
Estimate $500 - 750.

2256

Indian Native States, an Old Fashioned Collection. Copiously drawn up with appropriate squares and descriptions to accommodate all the different permutations this collector was trying to achieve. The collection has mint and used from the 19th century onwards and probably the most interesting parts are Travancore and Cochin. The latter particularly from 1882 onwards with an extensive study of the various different definitives, as well as the overprints, with as far as we can see over 100 different stamps here including various errors for the specialist to research. Other interesting States include Charkhiri, Hyderabad (well worth spending time on) Idar, Indore, Jaipur, Jhind with various 19th century imperfs, Kishangarh, interesting Poonch imperfs, etc with much non-Scott listed. A recommended viewing for the specialist, many finds likely.

Jordan, a Magnificent Collection of World Class Standard. An extraordinary specialized collection with several hundred of these elusive issues, hugely underestimated in Scott and for that matter Gibbons, given the very low printing numbers and that good collections such as this are hardly ever seen on the market today. This is well written up on quadrille album leaves, mint and used, housed in two albums, there is some minor toning so please carefully view. Also, there are a tremendous number of varieties – this collection having been formed in the 1950s. The collection is absolutely loaded with multiples, often disclosing the different settings, even complete sheets seen and their accompanying constant varieties, such as dropped numerals and missing letters, reversed albino inscriptions, overprints in different colors, overprints radically misplaced, different surcharges se-tenants, inverted as well as narrow overprints, tete-beche, double perforations, proofs etc. Where there is used in the collection, they are postally used. Furthermore, there is also a small reference section again written-up which gives very useful comparison purposes, clearly demonstrating that the overwhelming majority of this collection has been correctly annotated as genuine. Just a few of the many examples seen are the 1924 (Jan) SG 114 reconstructed sheet of 36, the 1923 (Sept) SG 111a surcharge inverted pair mint, the 1923 issue in sheets, etc. This was given to us at the 11th hour, the best way to appreciate how good this is would be to visit us here and study this carefully, it is quite probably a once in a lifetime opportunity, it is that special. If you cannot view it personally, please study the scans on the internet in their entirety. This is a breathtaking irreplaceable collection, the best we have ever seen of Transjordan with a good number of unique items.
