Auction: 169 - The Philatelic Collector's Series Sale
Lot: 417

British Commonwealth extraordinary postal stationary collection offered intact as received, a remarkable collection of several thousand mostly mint and some used formed by a serious collector, includes stamped envelopes, postal cards, paid reply cards, aerogrammes, registration envelopes, letter cards and formular cards filling three large cartons, mostly in sleeves, but some on auction or sales cards and some loose, a little disorganized but appears to be mostly different from Queen Victoria to fairly recent, many identified by Higgins and Gage numbers and many priced, but these are generally decades old, and there are a few with first day cancels or "Specimen" overprints, best seems to be extensive Australia with many better earlier issues, but also notable Ireland, Middle East and Southeast Asia, the collection is replete with better items, scarce sizes and seldom seen items in the $50.00 to hundreds of dollars range making this a great lot for the retail dealer or for internet sales, some inevitable faults but largely fresh and very fine.
