British Commonwealth - Your willingness to bring order to this stack of randomness will pay dividends! In order of appearance: Great Britain issues up to 2010 (over £60 face value), West Indies, Falklands, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Gilbert and Ellice Islands, Disney (a number of different colonies), Tanzania, Fiji, Ascension, Pitcairn, etc. There is even a roll of Tonga banana issue #225 (over $200.00 catalogue value alone). The lot leans towards mint, and Elizabethan, but there are exceptions to this throughout. A wonderful lot to break apart for the collector or show / internet dealer. Estimate =

British Guiana #17/299. Great collection for the specialist, with strength in Queen Victoria era issues. Great range of "Seal of the Colony", but keep a critical eye as a few of the items are obvious forgeries (which we haven’t counted). There are revaluations, officials overprinted and "Specimen" perforated stamps repurposed for usage. The KGV, KGVI and early QEII issues are more used than mint, but often include used examples of the higher values. Bit of duplication, and a small page of cards and glassines which are not counted in the owner’s catalogue value. 2023 Scott US$2259.00 =

Canada #4 Cover. Stunning #4 pair on cover, posted from Montreal on March 13th 1857. The stamps which are 2/3 margin examples are tied by the Montreal 4-ring number "21" postmark, with the pair paying the double rate to Toronto.

Canada #34/666. Older style, but near-new, Schaubek hingeless album with pages to 1975. An attractive, but a bit random grouping of mint and used issues.

The GeoVI era includes mint examples of the Peace set / Fish dollar, followed by a number of "OHMS" and "G" overprints. The Elizabethan issues up to the Montreal Olympics are fairly complete and all mint.
