Auction: 173 - The Philatelic Collector's Series Sale
Lot: 493

French Colonies & Offices Abroad carton lot in albums, on pages, and unsorted, with a predominantly used collection focused on Asian colonies, most twentieth century but with some earlier including Indo-China and French India, a somewhat sparse album of mint & used strongest in Senegal, Somali Coast, and Tunisia, a few ex-auction folder lots and loose album pages yet to be organized, where we note some better mint nineteenth century Madagascar and Martinique, collection in a large vintage "Timbres Poste" album with good nineteenth century material from Mayotte, Moheli, French India, and Benin, much of the value in a mostly-used collection in two old-time albums with a wide range of colonies, including useful General Issues, Djibouti, Indo-China, and Madagascar, as well as some interesting used multiples, condition issues requiring careful inspection, chiefly fine,would benefit from some organization, worthwhile setting aside time for a careful review.
