Bermuda - Envelope box with the balance of an extensive estate of Bermuda that we have been breaking up over the past year. There is a bit of mint and used Queen Victoria to King George V (the "Keyplates" are generally revenue cancelled), with some multiples, nice cancels and individual stamps. This collector bought new issues, while living in Hamilton, from the late KGVI period to about 1977, with singles, sets, some blocks of 4, and a few larger. Most of these are still in their original post office glassine envelopes and are in pristine condition. There is disorder here, and it is quite possible that there are better items hiding here or there. As received. Estimate =

Brazil and Colombia - A pair of 1960’s Minkus albums (with dust jackets), each moderately filled with a selection of used and mint stamps, with a bit from the back of the book and some souvenir sheets, with not much after 1970. There is some nice 19th century material, particularly for Brazil, but there could be goodies throughout. These albums were (a bit optimistically) catalogued at about US$1700.00 over 20 years ago.

British Commonwealth - A bundle of British Asia and Pacific material, the balance of an estate that we have been breaking up. This collector bought from a number of local sources and then filed the material away, leaving the discovery and enjoyment up to a future purchaser. This lot has bidboard lots, dealer cards, loose album pages, etc. Some highlights include: India (with a bit from the back of the book and the States), Hong Kong (the older material tends to be used, the later, a mix of mint and used), with some Burma, Ceylon and Fiji. If you like putting order to chaos, this lot is for you. Substantial total catalogue value and interesting material throughout. Estimate =

British Commonwealth - Two Australia-aligned British colonies in this 28-stockpage accumulation. Starts with Christmas Island #1/563 on 18 pages, more used in the earlier issues than normally seen and the post-1990 issues are strongly used (after this Indian Ocean colony’s mail service merged into Australia Post, the issues became usable in either area). Cocos (Keeling) Island #1/343 is on 10 pages with an even mix of mint and used. You never see much used modern material from these island outposts. Issues are post-war up to the early 21st century.
