Australia - This big "D"-ring binder holds about 70 Vario-brand stockpages with a confusing accumulation of "everything Australia". Somewhere in here are a couple of pages of "States", some "Roos" and GeoV "Heads". The rest of the sterling era is a mix of mint and used, sorted chronologically. The Decimal era is partially chronological, partly by denomination, with more used than mint (and with quantities up to 10 of a kind), this is an extensive collection that runs into the early 2000’s, with lots of medium to high values. There are bits of Antarctic Territory and other administrated Islands, plus the 1981 and 1982 Australian year books. While there is not tons of mint material, there is still over A$60.00 in usable face value, not counting the modern mint "Specimen" overprints. There could easily be more hiding here. Estimate =

Australia and States - A Down-Under disaster. The Australian material is mostly used, with a Stanley Gibbons album with pages to 1990 holding several hundred different. Complementing this is a group of manila stocksheets, a dealer’s packet stock nicely sorted in envelopes (Scott #2/#991), a few remnants from bidboard lots and retired circuit books. There is a touch of modern mint here, including a couple of hardcover year sets as well as the infamous 1988 Australian Bicentennial booklet set. Some Cocos (Keeling) Islands slipped in here, with a large handful of heavily duplicated presentation folders circa 1979. Oh yeah - the States (which are possibly the best part of this lot) include a page of attractive Tasmania, plus a couple of album pages and a double-sided page from a small stockbook with items from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and more Tassie.

Bosnia and Herzegovina - Massive town cancel collection, on stamp or piece, sorted by town, by cancel type and then by date. The first binder has 35 Vario-brand stock pages (most are 7-8 strip), with space left for missing items. A wide range of stamps are found here, including "back of the book".

The second, smaller, binder contains 11 more Vario stockpages and a manila stockpage of "extras" but these cancels are strictly from Sarajevo. Overall, a few hundred stamps from many dozens of different post offices. Given the other collections from this collector, expect the condition to be high quality, the descriptions to be accurate and better items to be lurking.

British Commonwealth - Sets and Singles on pages and a GB Collection. Great Britain and Commonwealth lot in three binders. The first part consists of an extensive mostly mint selection of hundreds of neatly organized and laid out Commonwealth country/colony sets and singles with particular strength in Australia, New Zealand and Grenada but with very decent representation of dozens of other countries from all areas of the globe. Also of note is a two volume Stanley Gibbons GB album containing hundreds of mint and used stamps, 1841 to 1984 period issues. The GB collection is a bit sparse in the earlier material but still contains a good number of $100.00+ catalogue value singles. The modern section is much more comprehensive and consists of almost all mint sets. Significant total catalogue value and a rewarding range of British Colonial material to boot! Estimate =
