Bahrain #12/347. Potential-laden used accumulation, ranging from the overprints on Indian King George V issues to overprints on King George VI and Queen Elizabeth issues, plus various post-Colonial definitives issued up to 2000.

Lots of clean cancels and no obviously faulty stamps noted. For visual presentation, examples of most of the stamps are on a stockpage, the rest are in glassines. Notable singles include #12 (20 copies), #33 (12), #34 (30), #239 (75), #240 (50). These five items alone have a total 2024 Scott catalogue value US$2779.00 =
