Worldwide trove of valuable circuit books, with particular emphasis on the British Commonwealth, especially on common design issues, noting many books of 1935 Silver Jubilee, 1948 Royal Wedding, with better stamps and singles cataloguing from $50-$100 and more intermingled with more common items, a quick review yielding a used Penny Black, and Gambia #1, we note also Scandinavia, Japan, Russia, Independent Africa, and United States, among others, the majority of books were retired but a large number appear to have been prepared but never circulated, leaving the material unpicked by prior collectors, condition varies as expected, and careful inspection for condition and identification of the higher-value material is strongly encouraged, but overall well above average for an accumulation of this nature, with many fresh and fine-very fine stamps included, massive catalogue value well into the five-figures, an ideal lot for the dealer or worldwide collector.
