Bid
1 Aden #1/46. Nearly complete run (missing only #12) of all the 1937 to 1951 GeoVI period issues, either mint Hinged or CDS used. All single mint stamps in the first set have been pro-rated as Hinged. A tough group to assemble. 2023 Scott Classic US$400.50= $540.68 $75.00
2 Afghanistan #281/674G. All F/VF mint (with lots of NH) duplicated selection of 369 stamps and 48 souvenir sheets, 1931 to 1964 period issues. Excellent topicals including Sports, Animals, Fruits and Flowers, UNESCO, Scouts, United Nations, etc - All neatly laid out and identified on Hagner stock sheets. 2023 Scott US$331.95= $448.13 $120.00
3 Africa - Wine box filled with thousands of stamps, mostly mounted on old album pages, from a range of different collections, plus a binder of manila stockpages, a bag of mostly South African material and a couple dozen covers/fronts. Many different countries represented, from a wide range of eras. Saw some French Colonies, South Africa, including colourful issues from countries like Togo. A variety of material from the early 1900's up to the 1970’s. There might be a find or two for the intrepid explorer. Estimate = $150.00 $85.00
4 Albania #35/743, B9-B16, C8/C53, J23/J26. Mint and used selection of 111 different 1913 to 1964 period issues, including numerous complete sets. Noted regular, semi-postal, airmail and postage due material in the mix. 2022 Scott US$376.25= $511.70 $42.00
5 Antigua / Barbuda #16/1880. Box with a couple hundred 102 cards holding a dealer's stock. Starts off in the classic periods, which is a bit sparse, but saw some value in the "Seal of the Colony" issue with both mint and used. The strength in the stock is in the late 1960’s to the mid-1980’s, with large numbers of sets and singles, all appear to be mint never hinged, with up to 10 copies of each set. There is lots of topical interest including airplanes, animals, flowers and Royals. Catalogued by previous owner, at an unknown date, but a quick check indicated that it wasn’t too far off. Owner’s total Scott US$713.00 = $962.00 $42.00
6 Ascension #37/60. Almost all mint Hinged (#43C is used) collection of 26 different 1937 to 1953 period GeoVI issues. Missing #44 but appears to be complete sets otherwise. 2023 Scott $221.55= $299.00 $42.00
7 Asia - Mounted accumulation of about 700 mint, used, CTO stamps, and a few souvenir sheets, FDCs and post cards. Covering the period of 1965-2003, this collection seemed to be focused on Lunar New Years, plants and animals, from a wide range of countries. We saw Hong Kong (including 1970 Year of the Dog, 1985 Orchids – all NH), India, Indonesia, South & North Korea, Nepal, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and a good offering of the Butterfly and Orchid issues from the Malaysian states in the mid-60s. Most of the mint stamps are in mounts and most seem to be never hinged. Good value for this diverse offering! Estimate = $170.00 $75.00
8 Australia #1/3286 plus BoB and AAT. Used Selection of 1438 different stamps, all hinged on 3-ring approval pages. Decent condition throughout. Excellent basis for expansion, this lot will provide a solid start to a used Aussie collection. Owner's 2017 Scott US$1,100.00= $1,485.00 $110.00
9 Australia #M1-M7. Complete F/VF mint H (#M1-M6) and NH (the high value #M7) set of the 1946-1947 "British Commonwealth Occupation Force of Japan" overprints. An undervalued WWII related provisional issue. 2023 Scott Classic US$319.50= $431.33 $90.00
10 Australia - Selection of 1500+ CDS town cancels, mostly tying stamps to piece. Most date from the 1950’s, but some earlier noted. Sorted by State and housed in two homemade boxes. Strength in New South Wales, Queensland (saw a nice "Thursday Island") and South Australia, but with some Victoria and Western Australia noted. Mostly nice strikes with some minor duplication expected. Unchecked for post office or cancel type. Estimate = $150.00 $130.00
11 Australia / British Commonwealth - Presentation Packs Galore. Small box filled with 97 Post Office Presentation Packs from the 1970's to 1990's, primarily from Australia, but also including packs from Solomon Islands, Ireland, Cocos, Nauru, New Zealand, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Cyprus, Christmas Island, St Vincent and Nevis. A huge array of topical interest in there with ships, butterflies, Christmas, comics, shells and wildlife (to name a few). Note, the original Post Office price was often more than the face value of the stamps included. The Australia alone has a face value of AUD$107.90. Estimate = $120.00 $95.00
12 Australia and New Zealand - Carton contains 4 binders of Australia and 2 binders of New Zealand collections, dealer stocks, and covers, mostly from 1900-2000. The Australia has ‘Roos up to the 2/- and KGV Heads to the 4d, with some possible cancel interest (unchecked by us for watermark). While most of the material is used, we did see a set of the first Australian Antarctic Territory issue in MNH blocks (L1-7, Scott US$52.00). Finishes with a binder of 180 Australia to Canada covers mostly from the 1980s-90s, which are starting to gain appreciation overseas because of the many short-term rates. The New Zealand includes some potential value from the officials, saw a lovely 9d KGV official overprint in a used block, one stamp damaged, but the three remaining stamps cat US$120.00. Estimate = $200.00 $180.00
13 Australia Covers - Small box containing 468 First Day Covers / Covers / Postal Stationery from the 1960's to 1980's, as received by mail-order from the Australian Post Office. Noted many better or interesting items such as booklet panes, AAT Antarctic Territory, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and postal stationery (including wrappers / envelopes and lettercards). A good mix of material including better stamps, sets and commemorative cachets. Estimate = $140.00 $120.00
14 Austria #3/1586 plus BOB. This collection of 1700 stamps starts with the early years being mostly used with better items noted such as #64-65, and a nice mint copy of #127 (owners mark, small paper fault mentioned "for the record"), B57-65, etc. Towards the late 1960’s the collector switched to collecting almost exclusively mint stamps, which were all hinged into place. The postage value of the more modern material adds up quickly. The back of the book is well represented, with a couple hundred stamps covering postage dues, newspapers and scatterings in several other areas. The collection is housed in a Davo regular album with pages to 1992 and slipcase. 2021 Scott US$1451.00 = $1,959.00 $190.00
15 Austria #3/950 plus BOB. A thorough collection housed in a Minkus album up to about 1973. The earlier issues were selected for nice cancels. 1890’s onward are fairly complete for the basic issues, missing out only the better values. The collector was in the process of upgrading the collection and a number of glassine envelopes are tucked into the fold, which may prove fruitful. Over 1700 stamps are included here, including significant amounts of semi-postals, postage dues, newspaper stamps, as well as issues for the Levant, Bohemia & Moravia, Romania. 2021 Scott US$1728.00 = $2,332.80 $290.00
16 Bahamas #65/153. Clean, fresh and F/VF mint Hinged selection of 41 different 1920-1949 period GeoV and GeoVI issues, all in complete sets.

17 Bahamas #97-156. F/VF complete run of all the 1937 to 1952 GeoVI period issues, either mint Hinged (all but a handful of stamps) or used (the handful of stamps are #104, 125 and 150-153). Lots of pictorial, omnibus and commemorative sets. Noted small thin on #134 (cat .40c), otherwise all the others are sound and attractive. 2023 Scott US$332.80= $449.28 $100.00
18 Bahamas - QV-1980. An envelope with an untouched assortment of bidboard lots, dealer cards, etc, totaling a few hundred stamps. Something for all collectors in here, with only a bit of duplication. Stamps are generally in decent condition. Saw a mint hinged set of the Columbus overprints. Intact as originally purchased by the consignor. Lots of fun in the sun! 2023 Scott over US$800.00 = $1,080.00 $65.00
19 Bahrain #20-80. Complete run of all the 1938 to 1951 period GeoVI period issues, all "BAHRAIN" overprints on the stamps of either India or Great Britain. 59 different stamps in total, all mint Hinged except for eight used stamps (#29, 30, 35, 36, 42, 37, 78 and 80).

20 British Africa - Basutoland #15-44; Bechuanaland Protectorate #121-152.

21 British Antarctic Territory #1/247. Collection of all sound and VF, almost all mint (#117-120 are used) NH 1963 to 1996 period issues, with only the complete sets included in the total catalogue value. The sets are mostly in singles, with some later issues in blocks. Exceptional Antarctic topicals such as flora, fauna and famous Antarctic personages as well as aircraft, ships and more. While not complete, the lot is very comprehensive, valuable and of a pleasant high quality. All neatly organized and housed in a blue Lighthouse stock book. 2023 Scott US$864.35= $1,166.87 $210.00
22 British Commonwealth - A primarily Commonwealth accumulation of mint and used stamps housed in a blue KABE brand 64-page stockbook, containing 1888 stamps and 7 souvenir sheets from "A to I".

A few dozen countries represented in total. A nice working group, housed within nice-condition stockbook. Estimate = $140.00 $60.00
23 British Commonwealth - Coronation Omnibus Set Duo. VF, all mint (H and NH mix) omnibus sets for the 1937 GeoVI Coronation and the 1953 QEII Coronation.

All mounted on printed album pages. All housed in a top-of-the-line Unisafe binder with matching slipcase. 2023 Scott US$294.65= $387.78 $55.00
24 British Commonwealth - Selection of 45 different used classics, Victorian to 1949. With each stamp cataloguing from US$5.00 to US$150.00. VG-VF, generally nice sound examples, although there could be the odd short perf. or minor issue. Each stamp is identified on the scan. 2022 Scott US$938.00 = $1,266.30 $65.00
25 British Commonwealth - Small box PACKED with several hundred Mint & Used in packets and on stockpages. A collector's accumulation of material of material to sort and place in albums. Noted many better Australia (including GeoV Heads / OS Perfins and mint stamps), Cook Islands, Gibraltar and "South Pacific" material. Likely a substantial amount of catalogue value to be found in here once sorted. A great project for the intrepid collector. Estimate = $180.00 $55.00
26 British Commonwealth - South Pacific Islands holding, covering the early 1900's to the early 1980’s. Ranges from the classic period up until the Royal Wedding.

Includes some offerings from the 1981 Royal Wedding, plus some "one off" issues. Some of these booklets are local productions, made by the local post office, by cutting up sheet stock, and stapling the stamps into a locally produced booklet cover. These were often not available through new issue services. A few are cancelled-to-order and were likely sold to tourists, but the vast majority are in excellent, mint condition. Estimate = $150.00 $42.00
28 British Commonwealth - Virgin Islands #73-75, Turks and Caicos Islands #75-117. All F/VF mint OG Hinged complete runs of all the 1937 to 1952 period GeoVI issues from both the Virgin Islands (41 stamps) and Turks and Caicos Islands (45 stamps).

29 British Commonwealth First Day Covers - New Zealand and Dependencies, Norfolk Islands, Papua New Guinea, Australia and Tokelau accumulation of First Day Covers and Postal Stationery. Medium size box filled to the brim with intact Post Office Department orders as received from the 1970's / 1980's sent to a collector in Canada. This lot would represent several hundred items in total (and likely several hundred dollars of investment). Bulkier, as still in the packaging, but offered as received. Strength in the First Day Covers with the many colorful sets and singles issued by these postal agencies and Postal Stationery which could be ordered both mint and "used" direct from the Post Office. Estimate = $150.00 $90.00
30 British East Africa #14/103. Victorian-era eye candy from this East African territory before it merged with Uganda and before it became known as Kenya. A quick glance shows that there are different shades and printings to be found here, as well as some potential for interesting cancels. A combination of mint and used (with duplication). The four highest value stamps all have issues including #49, which has a tear in the upper right corner (we haven’t counted this stamp at all), #86 might be a revenue cancel (Cat $85.) and the two larger QV issues, while appearing to be postally used have faults that are more apparent from the back than the front (cat $200.00, so left in the lot). Still lots to work with here in the sound material. 2023 Scott US$648.05 = $874.85 $42.00
31 British Honduras #8/268, J1-3, MR4. Combination of TWO mounted collections of 160 mint and used stamps, which nicely complement each other, resulting in almost no duplication. Strength is in QV overprints and QV-KGV definitives with values up to the dollar. Condition is good, but the mint stamps tend to be a bit heavily hinged. 2023 Scott US$983.30 = $1,327.46 $170.00
32 British Indian Ocean Territory #1/386. Selection of all sound and F/VF mint (mostly NH) and used 1968 to 2003 period issues, mostly complete sets, in singles as well as with some duplicates in blocks. Great topicals!

Includes British OVPT India, British Rule, Japanese Occupation, independence / transition to Myanmar and "back of the book" issues. A nice showing for this ever-popular country.

Offered as received, includes four pages of individual stamps and 6 large blocks/partial sheets. All stamps are used, some presumably cancelled to order.

Rare VF MNH complete souvenir sheet of 5 of the quickly recalled 2015 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Canada showing an image of "Hoodoos" instead of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta on the first $1.20 stamp.

A 20+ year collection in the making featuring a fairly complete run of issues for the period, usually with a FDC and inscription block for each issue.

Strength in town postmarks during the QEII era, this bin contains a wealth of different postmark types including CDS, POCON and RC (Retail Centre) types, many of which only saw short usage before the hammer / cancellation device was switched out.

The collection features Vancouver post office cancels including numbered subs (including many MOON / POCON types), auxiliary markings, named offices and numerous "oddball" items. A wealth of better covers including many registered / rate covers with the quality of strikes being well above average. We also noted a few "non-Vancouver" postmarks from other BC offices, collected for postmark interest. Note, many of the pages in here are originally from the collection of notable BC postal historian William Robinson. A seldom seen opportunity to pick up such an in-depth study group. Estimate = $400.00 $325.00
144 Canada Covers - British Columbia. A collector's project of collecting images (photographs) of the Post Office, accompanied with a cover postmarked at the same office. Box filled with 6 binders, with a total of 180 covers and 155 photographs primarily from the late 1980's / early 1990's neatly arranged to show a photograph and cover per-page. These were organized by postal code, with V0G / V0H / V0J represented here, which covers (in part) areas of the Kootenay, Okanagan and Northern BC. Also included is one binder of Vancouver "numbered subs". Some of the pages have foxing on them from storage, although the covers and photographs look fine. A labour of love went into these, when you consider the time / gasoline / photo-development cost. Estimate = $140.00 $375.00
145 Canada Covers - EN3/EN328. Album of mounted collection of about 450 regular issue postal stationery envelopes running 1877 to 2003. A good collection that often has both sizes of envelopes, and mint and used copies of each example. Saw the popular "Two Kings" EN97 used (Webb $25.00). Overall the condition is decent, with only a few faulty noted. Several pages of cut squares, which represent a wide range of paper colours, printings, precancels, can help with a collector’s knowledge and spice up their mounted collection. Enormous catalogue value in Webb. Estimate = $160.00 $70.00
146 Canada Covers - First Day Covers - Privately Produced Cachet Hoard. Shoebox sized tub, absolutely stuffed with 966 First Day Covers, all with Private Cachets from the 1950's to 1970's (with the odd earlier and later). A good variety of cachet makers including Schering, Rosecraft, H&E, Cole, Capital and S.C.S. Large lots of private cachets are getting harder to find! Estimate = $200.00 $525.00
147 Canada Covers - First Day Covers / British Columbia Postmarks. An interesting and unusual lot of 315 First Day Covers, dated 2003-2006, each bearing an unusual "modern" illustrated cachet and being cancelled from around the province of BC (with some Alberta too). The postmarks in this group are quite interesting, as the collector made a point of travelling to all-ends of the province to acquire postmarks from as many different BC post offices as he could (for example, the 2004 "Pets" issue, which has all the FDC cancelled at different areas of the Okanagan region, which means he would have travelled between those post offices on that day). A huge variety of postmarks, including many "modern" offices which were often only open for a short-period. These are totally unchecked and "one of a kind" as they were made by the collector for his own collection. Estimate = $200.00 $230.00
148 Canada Covers - First Day Covers HOARD. Around 1000 FDCs 1950’s-2005 housed in pages, within six packed binders in a U-haul box.

The lot concludes with a number of Canada Post FDCs from the 1990s up to 2005, including many with plate blocks, with denominations up to $2 per stamp. Overall the condition is good, and the only real duplication is in a handful of 1950’s uncacheted covers. The rest of the FDCs all have cachets. Significant retail cost in the later material. Estimate = $300.00 $270.00
149 Canada Covers - First Day Covers. Small box filled with 391 covers 1960's to 1980's with a mix of both Canada Post issued cachet FDC and privatively produced cachet FDC. We noted many blocks / inscription blocks in the mix and a fair showing of better more obscure private cachet makers such as Artopages and "NR". Estimate = $120.00 $140.00
150 Canada Covers - First Flight Airmail Covers. A "better franking" selection of covers including 39 covers with #184 Admiral Provisional stamp (perf 12x8) carried on Northern Alberta / Saskatchewan flights.

151 Canada Covers - First Flight Covers (FFC). An accumulation of 248 covers, in a small tub, with all being flights pre-1940 with emphasis on the late 1920s' / early 1930's.

Estimate = $200.00 $180.00

Also included is the "Canadian Military Post Offices to 1993" checkbook by Bailey and Toop. Estimate = $200.00 $260.00
153 Canada Covers - Mostly neatly mounted and annotated exhibit of 37 KEVII to 1970’s rate covers and cards. Mostly foreign destinations (saw Brasil, Trinidad, Denmark, Italy, St. Pierre & Miquelon).

154 Canada Covers - Northern Canadian Postal History - NWT / Yukon. Small box containing a collector's accumulation of 448 covers / postcards and 10 cancels on stamp / piece.

An enticing large lot of Northern material, being offered as received. Estimate = $250.00 $280.00
155 Canada Covers - Nova Scotia MOON cancels. Between 1960-1962, collector Reg Piggott of Kentville NS sent out letters to postmasters asking for favour covers to be returned to him with the stamp tied by the post office’s current rubber cancel. Not much is known about this effort, including how many sets he sent out (although it is probably less than 50 of each) or how many constitute a complete holding. Over 85% of the returned items had a MOON cancel and for many of these hammers, these are the only way to obtain an example. Many of these small town post offices are now closed. This lot is considered to be complete, or very close. A total of 252 different post offices are represented. All on #8 covers, with a rubber stamp address back to Mr. Piggott. A tough lot to assemble, conservatively estimated at only 60c per cover. Estimate = $160.00 $110.00
156 Canada Covers - Official Mail "OHMS" or "G" overprint issues on cover. Small box containing 100 covers from the post-WWII GeoVI era, all being Official Mail with the "Back of the Book" overprints (but noted a few OHMS perfins too, some used in conjunction with the Official OVPT stamps). A nice study of rates and usages here, with the majority of the covers being addressed to the RCMP Police in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Larger lots of official mail are getting tougher to find. Estimate = $120.00 $150.00
157 Canada Covers - Ontario / QV to QEII (mostly) Era Postal History. Small box STUFFED with 775 covers and 24 pieces, all selected for (primarily) Ontario postmarks with hundreds of them being either Registered or Special Delivery covers (an attractive QEII rate study in itself). Also noticed a small amount of "other provinces" and earlier material. Noted TONS of variety in there including Advertising, Postage Due, Rates, Slogans, Postal Stationery and "Return to Sender". A great lot for the cancel / rate collector or show / internet dealer to break apart. Estimate = $200.00 $575.00
158 Canada Covers - P1/P294. Postal Stationery post cards, spanning 1871-1985 with a wide range of card sizes, printings, papers, dies and often mint and used copies of each. The items, including the duplicates, are housed in 2 and 4 pocket pages, and we didn’t take them out to check for any interesting printed-backs or cancels. The best are the selection of KGV mint reply cards. Saw items with individual Webb catalogue values of $15.00 each. Usual minor faults to be expected, but a nice place to start your Canadian postal card collection. Estimate = $150.00 $130.00
159 Canada Covers - Post Card Factory and Canada Post pre-paid postal stationery view cards from 1990’s-2000’s. A variety of issues here including Commemoratives, Tourism, Lunar New Year, and a selection of the hard-to-find cards that can only be purchased through local sellers, usually in the regions depicted. One of the emerging issues with these post cards is that because the value is tied to the International letter rate, currently $2.71 each, the cost of buying cards has significantly hampered collector purchases, and almost eliminated dealers from buying. Collectors who are trying to find these cards, to supplement stamp issues, for topical purposes, or just for completeness, are having a hard time finding them. This lot has 120 mint items (Face Value $325.00) as well as a dozen cancelled-to-order cards sent by the collector to himself. Used cards are much harder to find than mint. Estimate = $150.00 $150.00
160 Canada Covers - Postal History Literature - Three 5 inch deep Rubbermaid tubs with various books and literature. Includes Jarrett's "Stamps of BNA" 1975, AAMC "Air Mails of Canada & Nfld." 1997, Rowe "Postal History of Canadian Contingents Boer War" 1981, Steinhart "Civil Censorship in Canada WWI" 1986, Macpherson "Nova Scotia Post Offices" 1981 + others; and some world with Canada interest: Stobbs "Postmarks of Australian Forces WWII" 1976, Hopkins "History of Wreck Covers" 1967, Eisendrath "Crash Covers" 1979; Hosking "Paquebot Cancels of the World" 1977; Proud "History of British Army Postal Service" 1982. Then a big pile of BNAPS Study Group Newsletters mostly RPO, Military, & Squared Circles (from #1 1976 to #106 2004). Valuable Canada postal history reference material. Estimate = $200.00 $75.00
161 Canada Covers - Queen Victoria postal stationery post card hoard, densely packed into large envelope box and untouched for 40 years! Most 1890’s and all used, the vast majority with printed backs from Ontario banks, including Ontario Bank, Imperial, Standard, often with the small originating town printed as part of the form. There might be some cancel interest lurking here too, we saw several Strachan Avenue /Toronto CDS cancels. There are easily 1500 cards in this lot, and the condition is better than usual, but some brittleness and aging can be expected. A goldmine for the banking collector! Estimate = $300.00 $160.00
162 Canada Covers - Saskatchewan Post Office collection. A collector's project of collecting images (photographs) of the Post Office during the late 1980's / early 1990's, accompanied by a cover postmarked at the same location. Banker's box containing 8 binders, which feature 114 covers and 99 photographs from a wide array of both city and rural Post Offices, neatly arranged by postal code with most pages featuring one cover and one photograph to showcase the Post Office. These were all created as one-of-a-kind items, purely for the collector, who was (whether he realized it or not) preserving the history of the Post Office during that period. Some pages have foxing from storage, although the covers and photographs appear to be fine. You can imagine the time and cost it would take to produce this! Estimate = $120.00 $150.00
163 Canada Covers - Small Queen Cover Hoard. A selection of 219 covers and 9 pieces, put together by a collector decades ago to show a range of Small Queen stamp usages. Although many of these covers have faults, the stamps alone present a great opportunity for shades / perforations / varieties as most appear to be totally unchecked. A great lot for study. Estimate = $150.00 $240.00
164 Canada Precancels - City Type Selection. Almost all different selection of various EdwardVII, GeoV and GeoVI period "city" type precancels (17 different cities). All neatly arranged on a double-sided stock sheet. Take a good look at the scans to determine range and overall quality. Noted doubles, inverts, nail heads etc- in the mix.

Includes a selection of mint and used, some duplicates and a number of better used items up to 1R face value (Scott catalogue values of $65.00 each). This may be a fine opportunity for the specialist to make some finds, as we have not checked out the obvious printing differences that are here and have just used the lowest value from Scott. A couple of the lower denomination stamps with obvious revenue cancels were not counted. Speaking of revenue cancels, check out the dozen large, mostly Edwardian, high denomination stamps (up to 20R). As postally used, these would catalogue over $3200.00 but these will hold a place in your collection until legitimately used copies come along (not counted at all in the total catalogue value). For the non-revenue cancelled items, total 2023 Scott US$790.50 = $1,067.10 $110.00

There are individual stamps with catalogue values up to a US$300.00 each. Given the history of these issues, this lot is being sold "as-is" and many would benefit from expertization.

Included are revaluations, different colour overprints, and larger blocks to allow for plating with the occasional plate number seen in the salvage.

The face value of the modern material is NZ$890.00 ($750.00 Canadian), but there is so much more to this lot including a collection of used stamps going back to the Victorian period (fairly complete after 1940), and many newer issues where a mint and used set was collected. These modern issues often catalogue as much used as they do mint. There are a few FDC’s with a total face value of around $100.00 and even two folded NZ Post souvenir posters, to round out this collection. Estimate = $500.00 $190.00
309 New Zealand - Mounted collection of 1000 mostly used stamps on assorted album pages in 3-ring binder covering 1874-1979. Early is a bit sparse, but did see #54, #69 w/ad printed on back, and a 2/- Milford sound with "Official" overprint, as well as C5, QEII 10/- horseback and additional strength in official overprints. There are also 26 mint and 6 used Health Souvenir Sheets. There is a bit of duplication as the collection is organized by Stanley Gibbons numbers and was collected for specialized perfs and printings (we did not check for accuracy), but there is potential unrealized value here. Estimate = $350.00 $200.00
310 North Borneo and Labuan #26/296. Selection of 350 mint and used stamps, 1880s-1962 scattered over several extracted album and stockbook pages. Includes the ever-popular animal issues with a myriad of overprints, including revalues and Labuan, and interesting favour cancellations. There is value in the more modern material including mint hinged complete sets of the first 2 QEII issues, which catalogue alone at $250.00 US. Overall condition looks pretty good. There is undoubtedly a bit of duplication. Estimate = $150.00 $130.00
311 Nyasaland #112/118. Rare opportunity to acquire masses of the 1963 overprints on revenue stamps, in complete sheets of 60! The bulk is the 1/2d stamp with 120 sheets, but also the 1p (2 sheets), 2p (1 sheet), 9p (2 sheets), 1/- (2 sheets). A few partial sheets are not counted. All sheets all contain inscriptions and plate numbers at the bottom, and some have counting numbers in the upper right corner – no premium is attached to any of these. The bonus is that this lot comes with the original cardboard and label from Bradbury Wilkinson, and is housed in an unused, and slightly battered, large unused “On Her Majesty’s Service” envelope. Many of the sheets have paper interleaves, keeping the stamps and gum in great shape. Might be some minor damage to the selvedge here and there. Total Scott catalogue value over US$2000.00. Estimate = $140.00 $75.00
312 Nyasaland Protectorate #2/86. Eye catching page of 31 stamps, including many used with SON cancels, including #21 4/- KGV, and #27. A few mint examples are sprinkled in, and there is some minor duplication. Overall, the condition is very clean with the mint items being very lightly hinged, including the Royal Wedding high value. Items are generally unchecked for papers or colours, and catalogued as the basic 2023 Scott US$275.75 = $372.25 $48.00
313 Pacific Islands - An eclectic holding of mostly mint issues between 1920-85 from a range of British Commonwealth Islands, best is Tokelau, but there is worthwhile Niue, Cook Islands, Ross Dependency (L1-4 in NH blocks of 4), Samoa (#370-378C), Cocos, Fiji, New Guinea, Australia Antarctic Territory. Very clean, mostly hinged pre-1950. You get a sense of deja-vu viewing this lot, as the previous collector had some duplication (generally less than 4 of each) that appeared to be randomly mounted. Lot finishes with a bit of material from other countries, including a small Soccer topical holding. An attractive lot. Estimate = $180.00 $65.00
314 Pakistan : Bahawalpur #1/29, O1/028. All mint H or used selection of 53 different stamps, 1947-1949 period, both regular and Official issues. Very nearly complete for the issues of this short-lived (an independent state, now part of Pakistan). Very elusive material. 2023 Scott US$396.15= $534.80 $55.00
315 Philippines - Dealer's red "102 card" box, about 75% filled with dealer cards filled with both Mint and Used material from the early Spanish colony issues (earliest is Scott #81) to 2001 including a good showing of "back of the book" material with semi-postal and airmail issues. A nice clean lot, not catalogued, but would add up quickly. Estimate = $160.00 $120.00
316 Poland General Government - Accumulation in a small shoe box, including mint and used and cancels on cover/card. Saw 60 assorted post cards with various commemorative cancels, including Mozart. Some duplication, but often with different cancels or franking. Also a group of 13 mint postal stationery post cards and envelopes. For the researcher, the lot contains hundreds of stamps in over 25 envelopes, including mint corner blocks and large blocks and used stamps in quantity. The used stamps may prove rewarding for the collector of postmarks. This holding hasn’t seen the light of day in years, unpicked by us. Offered as received. Estimate= $180.00 $80.00
317 Portugal #517/1837. Three-volume accumulation of mostly used stock housed on manila stocksheets. Includes some better including #531 & #532, 12 souvenir sheets and the 1936 Red Cross relief stamps in mint blocks. Some duplication, the previous owner had made a detailed tally of the catalogue value in 2013, which came out to over US$4,000. Estimate = $200.00 $130.00
318 Rhodesia - Cancel Study/Selection. Wide ranging selection of a few hundred 1970s period postmarks, mostly complete strikes on stamp on piece. Includes a number of the "mutilated" (S removed) postmarks from the Southern Rhodesia to Rhodesia transitional period. Great basis for expansion. Estimate = $120.00 $10.00
319 Rhodesia - Specialized Range of Railway Parcel Stamps. All mint NH selection of all different Rhodesian Railway stamps, neatly laid out on Hagner stock sheets. The group includes four undenominated imperforate proofs, two undenominated perforated proofs, eight decimal currency issues (1c to 50c) and 54 pre-decimal stamps (1d to £1). Each and every stamp in this lot is different, either for denomination, town code or Mardon/Waterlow printings. Research on Ebay only found scattered singles or random multiples on offer, no comprehensive groups such as this. The lot also includes useful information from older articles (1987/1988). A great kickstart to an exhibit of these railway post related issues. Estimate = $150.00 $85.00
320 Russia #149/3558 plus Extras. Collection of 1918-1968 issues, housed in a Scott Specialized album containing approximately 250 pages and over 3,000 stamps plus most of the souvenir sheets of the period. The stamps are mostly mint Hinged or CTO. An excellent basis for expansion. Estimate = $500.00 $325.00
321 Russia #3544/5218 plus Back of the Book. The second volume of the Russian collection, housed in Scott Specialty album containing 1969-1983 period issues and including many Back-of-the-Book items from earlier periods. Over 2,000 stamps and souvenir sheets in total, Hinged and in Hingeless mounts on about 200 pages. The stamps are mainly mint Hinged, mint NH or CTO. The collection is fairly complete from 1969 to 1979 but becomes a bit thin on later dates. The Semi-postal and Airmail section is useful. A very attractive and collectible group, neatly mounted on clean pages. Estimate = $400.00 $325.00
322 Saar and Post-WWII French Zone Occupations - Mint and used lightly duplicated 1920 to 1959 period selection/collection of Saar, both pre- and post-WWII period issues (#4/322, B105-B106, O1/O34) plus a range of French Zone issues consisting of: general issues (#4N1-4N13); Baden (5N1/5N33); Rheinland-Pfalz #6N1/6N36); and Wurttemburg (#8N1/8N34). All neatly laid out in one Lighthouse brand stockbook. 2022 Scott US$512.20= $691.47 $100.00
323 Saint Pierre and Miquelon - The "France Libre FNFL" WWII overprints. Six different denominations, including three revalued, in fresh, crisp half panes of 25. Stamps are very fine mint never hinged. A few perf separations are noted, and there is some minor damage to the selvedge, which does not detract from this lovely offering. Perfect to study overprint settings, or to break up for online sale. 2023 Scott US$2575.00 = $3,476.25 $350.00
324 Samoa #181/200. Almost all mint OG Hinged (#189 is used) selection of 18 different 1939 to 1950 period GeoVI issues. The best singles are the £1 pink and £2 violet overprinted postal fiscals. 2023 Scott Classic US$420.30= $567.41 $55.00
325 Sierra Leone #1/1792. Accumulation starting with a stockcard of 97 mostly used stamps from the classic early period, ranging from the first issue with QV issues up to 1/-, KEVII to 2 ½ d and finishing with a very lightly hinged #207 from the first Elizabethan issue. Total 2023 Scott catalogue value for this page is US$296.45 alone. The lot also has some more modern issues up until about 1995, including attractive issues with mushroom, dinosaur and the infamous Mars exploration set of six souvenir sheets. Estimate = $130.00 $42.00
326 South Africa - Mint and used collection of British Africa South Africa and Republic of South Africa 1/1283 & B1/C30 from 1910 to 2002. Many of the early bilingual se-tenant issues have been valued as the lowest price, knowledgeable scrutiny could give some pleasant surprises. 2021 Scott US$557.80 = $753.03 $40.00
327 Southern Nigeria #20 SPECIMEN. Exceptionally fresh and Fine OG Hinged example of the 1903 issue £1 purple and grey green Edward VII high value with "SPECIMEN" overprint. Light horizontal handling bend at bottom noted for the record. Scott catalogue for a regular #20 is US$475.00=$641.25 CDN. Estimate = $200.00 $24.00
328 Sweden #17/410 plus back of the book. A good collection of Sweden’s first 75 years issuing stamps, mounted on homemade album pages. This mostly used collection includes some better values such as Scott #18, 21, 27, 37 (some short perfs at bottom), both 1924 UPU sets up to the 5K, and lots of semi-postals. Besides the basic catalogue value, this collection was assembled with an eye for printings not listed in Scott (but often annotated on the album under the stamp, which could include types and shade differences). There is significant cancel potential, particularly in the earlier years. Condition appears to be far better than average. Total catalogue value = US$2700.00 = $3,645.00 $200.00
329 Sweden #39/2408a. Two three-ring binders, with 49 manila stocksheets, stuffed with a few thousand used stamps (and a few mint, for the record). Would make for a good collection builder, might be some cancel interest. A nice lot for the Swedish enthusiast. Estimate = $140.00 $55.00
330 Sweden #1623/2425. A nice modern offering of Swedish stamps covering almost 700 stamps and 30 booklet panes issued between 1987-2002, housed in green padded 2 post Lighthouse album with hingeless pages (album retails $400.00 alone). Catalogued back in 2013 at US$1673.00, which still holds up well. The mint stamps have a face value of 3800.00 SKR (over $500.00 CDN equivalent). Estimate = $400.00 $290.00
331 Sweden #O1/O55. Very attractive lot of used Swedish official stamps was put together by a collector who loved stamps with eye appeal. Near complete, missing only O7 & O9, with examples shade differences, and a number with Socked-on-the-nose cancels. You will wait a long time before seeing as nice a holding of these issues. There are a couple of glassine envelopes with duplicates and a page of postage dues which are not included in the total catalogue value. 2023 Scott US$889.00 = $1,200.15 $65.00
332 Sweden and Norway - Strength is in Sweden (1000 stamps) beginning in the 1880s. The Norway (600 stamps) starting in the 1940’s. Almost exclusively used and mounted in a Minkus album with pages up to 1984. The lot includes the Minkus pages for Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, but there are only a handful of stamps from the Baltic areas. Estimate = $100.00 $65.00
333 Switzerland #41/486 plus semi-postals and other BOB. An outstanding collection of entirely used stamps nicely mounted on Minkus pages, that hasn’t seen the light of day for over 50 years! Starts strongly with the Seated Helvetia issue, a good coverage of the William Tell issues, very complete Pro-Juventute issues. The 1945 PAX issue is only missing the 5fr value. But above this, is the level of quality that the previous owner of this collection had. Cancels are clean, the stamps are fresh and the eye-appeal is strong. There aren’t many collections that can complete with this. 2023 Scott US$4264.30 = $5,756.81 $240.00
334 Switzerland #43 / 638b. Attractive used selection of 142 different used stamps 1862-1984 neatly arranged on small-size stockpages including earlier issues and a tete-beche pair. Most (if not all) bear CDS cancels, making this a choice grouping for the "used" stamp collector. 2022 Scott US$373.60 = $504.36 $28.00
335 Switzerland #43/746 plus BOB. An uncharacteristically haphazard offering of Switzerland in a 48-page King stockbook. The earlier issues are typically used, including a few random Pro Juventute semi-postals, and then gradually more mint issues appear, although overall about 90% of the collection is used. 2021 Scott US$1026.00 = $1,385.10 $90.00
336 Tanzania #5/1469 plus some BOB. Box with a mixed holding of several hundred stamps on old album pages, Vario pages and in their original glassines as new issues. Starts with the early issues, often both mint and used, in complete sets (with some duplication). This accumulation then changes gears in the mid-1980s, and for the next 10 years, there are about 50 souvenir and mini-sheets, including some that are imperforate. Lots of colourful stamps here, with butterflies, fish, trains and animal topicals. There are some used official overprints from the early years. Overall condition is excellent, with much of the mint items being never hinged. 2023 Scott US$688.00 = $928.00 $100.00
337 Turks and Caicos Islands #2/358, MR1/13. Binder with mounted collection on homemade pages from 1900 to 1978. The early years up until the early Elizabethan period are mint and (the harder to find) used, often both, with some papers and colour varieties that may appeal to the specialist. By the late 1960’s, the material is mostly mint, although space has been left for used stamps. A bit of material that the collector didn’t get around to adding is included in a pocket. Clean, fresh and mostly lightly hinged. A desirable lot. 2023 Scott US$559.65 = $755.00 $38.00
338 Turks and Caicos Islands #725/853. Glassine envelopes containing a variety of stamps, as received from the new issue service during a very brief period of 1985-89. About 120 stamps, including 15 miniature or souvenir sheets at a time when collectors had temporarily lost interest in new issues from this Caribbean isle. Saw fish, lizard, birds, butterflies, Christmas and Royals. Most sets are complete with the souvenir sheet. There is a bit of duplication as the collector bought a set of single and a gutter pair of that same set. 2023 Scott US$279.00 = $376.00 $40.00
339 United Nations - 1977-1983 Large mint never hinged holding of singles, blocks (mostly) and mini-sheets. Uncatalogued, but face value of stamps is $98.00 U.S. (New York), 151.00SF (Geneva), and 636.00 Austrian shillings. Total face value alone of this lot is $423.00 Canadian (equivalent). Not counted are 8 copies of a “Safety at Sea” souvenir card with various pictorial cancels. Lot is housed in a lovely 16 page Filux stock book with a tan coloured padded cover in terrific condition. UN issues were becoming less popular during this time period and collectors didn’t pursue new issues the way they did in the 1950’s, so less becomes available on the secondary market. The first of a six volume offering in this auction. Total Face Value = $423.00 $110.00
340 United Nations - 1983-1986 Large mint never hinged holding of blocks (mostly), mini-panes and mini-sheets. Uncatalogued, but face value of stamps is $81.00 US. (New York), 103.00SF (Geneva), and 872.00 Austrian shillings. Total face value alone of this lot is $350.00 Canadian (equivalent) and is housed in a blue padded cover 16 page Filux stockbook. UN issues were becoming less popular during this time and collectors didn’t pursue new issues the way they did in the 1950’s, this less material from this era becomes available on the secondary market. Total Face Value = $350.00 $110.00
341 United Nations - 1986-1989 Large mint never hinged holding of stamps, blocks (mostly), mini-panes and mini-sheets.

Note: A couple of the sheetlets have minor damage in the selvedge, mentioned "for the record". Total Face Value = $438.00 $110.00
342 United Nations - 1989-1992 Large mint never hinged holding of singles, blocks (mostly), mini-panes and mini-sheets. Uncatalogued, but face value of stamps is $88.00 U.S. (New York), 200.00 Swiss Francs (Geneva) and 1468.00 Austrian shillings. Includes three cards not counted in the total face value of this lot which comes out at $566.00 Canadian (equivalent). The lot is housed in a green coloured padded cover 16 page Filux stockbook. UN issues were becoming less popular (and apparently un-affordable) during this time and collectors didn’t pursue new issues the way they did in the 1950’s. Total Face Value = $566.00 $110.00
343 United Nations - 1995-1998 Large mint never hinged holding of singles, blocks (mostly), mini-panes and mini-sheets (tiny bid of duplication in this lot). Uncatalogued, but face value of stamps is $94.00 U.S. (New York), 184.00 Swiss Francs (Geneva), and 1340.00 Austrian shillings.

344 United Nations - 1998-2000 The last of the six volume holding (there never was a book that covered 1992-5), of mint never hinged singles, blocks (mostly), mini-panes and mini-sheets (definitely some duplication in this lot). Uncatalogued, but face value of stamps is $137.00 U.S. (New York), 175.00 Swiss Francs (Geneva), and 1216.00 Austrian shillings. Total face value of this lot is $568.00 (Canadian $ equivalent). The lot is housed in a red coloured padded cover 16 page Filux stockbook. Total Face Value = $568.00 $110.00
345 USA #25/2095 plus Back of the Book. Useful collection of used and mint stamps housed in a Harris "All American" album running from 1897 up to 1984, including a BoB section. The catalogue value is mostly in the period 1857 to 1932, consisting of 350 stamps with an owner's 2018 Scott catalogue value of US$4,125.00 plus a "Back of the Book" section of 55 stamps with an owner's Scott value of US$456.00. The remainder of the collection, running from 1933 to 1984 consists of 1,193 stamps, mostly mint hinged, plus 120 BoB issues. Decent degree of completion and a good basis for expansion. Estimate = $450.00 $325.00
346 USA #98. Fine used example of the 1868 issue 15c black Lincoln with "F" grill (9mm x 13mm). Light unobtrusive cancel in black. 2023 Scott US$275.00= $371.25 $60.00
347 USA #230/550. A miscellaneous group of mint stamps, 53 in total, all 1893-1920 period issues. Scott catalogued colour varieties are prominent and while they look reasonably accurate, all have been identified by the consignor and would need expertising for confirmation. Almost all Hinged (the odd stamp may be no gum). The #379B rose reds are not catalogued (goodness knows why) and they have simply been valued as red. Owner's 2017 US Scott Specialized US$1,413.75= $1,908.56 $120.00
348 USA #424-439. Fifteen of the sixteen 1913-1915 issue Washington Franklins (missing only #440, the 50c value), all perf 10 x 10, watermark 190 (single-lined USPS). OG with Heavy Hinge Remnants but otherwise a sound and fresh group. 2023 Scott $940.00= $1,269.00 $180.00
349 USA #PR5. Fine Unused, no-gum (as issued) example of the 1875 reprint of the 1865 issued Newspaper and Periodical stamp on hard white paper. An upper margin example, with selvedge. Only 10,000 of these were printed. A seldom seen US "back of the book" issue. 2022 USA Scott Specialized US$225.00 = $303.75 $50.00
350 USA - Carton crammed with a range of US material including three binders with stamps, blocks and cancels. Saw a couple hundred uncacheted FDCs and cacheted event covers from the 1950’s-70’s, including a binder with about 25 Hummel Christmas themed covers, with winter or Christmas themed cancels on nice cachets (original cost would have been significant). While most of the stamps are used, we did notice about US$40.00 of modern postage from the 33c era. Every remaining space in the box is filled with envelopes and baggies filled with stamps. Estimated value = $130.00 $32.00
351 USA - Flat pizza-box with interesting mid-20th century assortment on 102 cards, with some in envelopes and a few covers. Includes a well-centred, NH, plate # block of 6 of Scott #650, 9 NH Washington-Franklin booklet panes, lots of airmails (including matching material from Canal Zone), and some US Savings stamps. There is about US$50.00 in mint postage from the 3c-35c era along with 50 covers with Naval and Space exploration themes and a couple of envelopes of on / off paper round out this interesting offering. Estimate = $150.00 $110.00
352 USA - The "Kimball/Kinball" Precancel Error. Two blocks of four and 20 single examples of the 3c purple Liberty precancelled for use in Kimball, Nebraska with the scarce "KINBALL NEBR." misspelling of the town name. Comes with the relevant page from the 1963 edition of the standard precancel catalogue (1963 retail $5.00 each compared to 10c for a regular precancel type). One of our clients has come across a small holding of these. According to the consignor, "KINBALL" precancel errors were recently selling for US$60.00 each (which would mean that this group has a total retail of US$1,680.00!). Note that this is the last group of these errors that we have left on consignment. Estimate = $120.00 $22.00
353 USA - Two cartons packed with mostly used 20th century stamps. Saw a dozen binders with a modern dealer’s holding (and some mounted collections) on over 220 manila stock sheets (worth a fair penny in their own regard). Also saw five red stockbooks of various sizes and conditions, including one with some mint postage from the 8c era. Although we didn't see anything of particular scarcity, there is substantial value in the sheer quantity, plus the pages and stockbooks. Estimate = $150.00 $65.00
354 USA Covers - Small box, packed with collector made First Day Covers from the 2000's (looks to go til about 2010). Along with being a group of unusual cachet FDC, the collector also made a point of visiting some obscure Post Offices within Washington State and Oregon to get these First Day Covers cancelled. A wealth of modern cancels, alongside a fair-size investment in stamps alone! A total of 1189 covers in here, very conservatively estimated at less than 10c each! Estimate = $110.00 $32.00
355 USA Covers - Washington State Post Office collection. A collector's project of collecting images (photographs) of the Post Office during the late 1990's / early 2000's, accompanied by a cover postmarked at the same location. Banker's box containing home-made pages, which feature 538 covers and 538 photographs from a wide array of both city and rural Post Offices, neatly arranged on page to show one cover and one photograph from the Post Office. These were all created as one-of-a-kind items, purely for the collector, who was (whether he realized it or not) preserving the history of the Post Office during that period. You can imagine the hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars it would take to produce this after factoring in the gas, postage, supplies and photo development! Estimate = $200.00 $80.00
356 USA Precancels - Accumulation of 484 from earlies to modern, A few duplicates, but great variety & note some unusual and different types, especially check out the fourth scan with modern. Estimate = $120.00 $110.00
357 USA Precancels - Small boxed filled with thousands of precancels, sorted onto 39 manila stocksheets and 102 album pages. Heavily duplicated in spots, but likely some treasures to be found by the precancel enthusiast. Offered as received. Estimate = $140.00 $80.00
358 Virgin Islands #4/389. Selection of 344 different mint and used stamps mounted on Scott album pages.

Generally clean, very few obvious faults noted. 2023 Scott US$605.90 = $817.97 $40.00
359 Wallis and Futuna #1/206 plus airmails. Clean mounted collection of over 300 mint stamps. This South Pacific French outpost produced some interesting issues, including overprints (France Libre) and a number of colourful issues into the 1970’s that were a bit under-appreciated at the time, which now have substantial catalogue value. Mostly complete. Lightly hinged. 2023 Scott US$1235.00 = $1,667.25 $280.00

Strength in Germany (East and West), Great Britain, with some other Africa, Europe and a bit of Asian material. Didn’t see anything from the Americas. Includes stamps depicting trains, commemorative cancels, anniversaries, (some with attractive cachets). The covers are generally in good shape and would benefit from remounting. A train lover’s dream here. The original time and cost to assemble this originally would have been substantial. Estimate = $200.00 $70.00
377 Worldwide - Two cartons containing a five volume collection and stock of worldwide stamps including a binder of airmail stamps, binder of worldwide FDCs, some assorted British Commonwealth in a nice stockbook, mounted collections from Cuba and Czechoslovakia (with a few covers), a nice Filux stockbook with Hungary and a binder of almost 400 worldwide commercial covers mostly from the 1980’s-90’s which might have some interesting destinations and rates lurking.

380 Worldwide Covers - Arctic / Antarctic Array of Postal History. Eye-appealing group of 47 covers, each with a connection to either the North or South Pole.

382 Worldwide Music Topical - Diverse musical topical, covering composers, singers, instruments, songs, Christmas.

Saw music ranging from tribal/traditional, classical, opera, jazz, Elvis, Michael Jackson, even K-Pop! Not all is modern, including both souvenir sheets for the Anniversary of the Romanian Philharmonic. The mint material is mostly never hinged. The original cost to the collector who assembled this would have been enormous. Estimate = $160.00 $55.00
383 Worldwide Perfins - Collector's accumulation of 700 unchecked and unpicked WW perfins, arranged on 7 double-sided vario stocksheets (14 pages total). These are put aside by the collector as found in worldwide albums as he sorted, so there is no rhyme or reason for the array of material. While there are a few dozen with noticeable faults, these were purely pulled for perfin interest. Potentially better items mixed in for the keen perfin enthusiast to find. Estimate = $140.00 $95.00
384 Worldwide Postcards - Old dealer box (from a long-retired dealer) filled with 620 postcards with a wide-array of subject matter, primarily from the pre-WWII period.

Mostly Uni-Safe or Lighthouse brand with white pages, but with a couple others in the mix too. Noted a couple have a few stamps in them, which can be removed easily enough. With the price of supplies on the rise, and global supply chain complications making it more difficult to stock up, this is a great opportunity to acquire a large group of stockbooks with lots of life left in them. Estimate = $140.00 $220.00
387 Worldwide Supplies - Banker's box, filled with an assortment of use-full lightly used or unused supplies as received. Lot includes 1) 100-Pack of glassine inter-leaf (for stamp album pages). 2) Uni-Safe brand padded 3-ring album. 3) Uni-Safe brand padded #10 cover album. 4) Bundle of about 50 dealer manila stock-cards (brand new). 5) Vario black two-sided stocksheets x 33 (various sizes), plus 4 un-opened packs (20 pages) of Vario clear 4-line stocksheets. 6) Brand-New Stanly Gibbons simplex spring-back album (still in box, $59.25 retail sticked attached). 7) Mint Sheet Files x 4, plus several mint block files (pocket sized). 8) Stamp Drying Book. 9) Uni-Safe brand quadrille pages (3-hole punched). 10) Dozens of full / partially full black mounts (mostly Uni-Safe or Showgaurd brand).

388 Worldwide Supplies - Black two-sided stocksheets. Small box containing 177 black two-sided lightly used stocksheets of various makes, but primarily Vario or Lighthouse brand (including some new in package).

The breakdown of sizes is 3-row (86), 4-row (65), 4-pocket (19) and 8-row (7). Retail on these pages is not over $1 per page. Estimate = $120.00 $85.00
389 Worldwide Supplies - Group of 6 deluxe 3-ring binders, all with slipcases (will all fit the standard 3-ring hole page). Four of the six are a "Lighthouse style" binders (we would have said they are Lighthouse at first glance, but since there is no Lighthouse branding, they could be made by another company). The remaining 2 binders are Uni-Safe brand deluxe padded albums. All in great condition, with just a bit of clean-up work to remove previous owner's labels from the spine. These deluxe albums are getting pricey to buy new. Estimate = $120.00 $160.00
390 Worldwide Supplies - Large carton of very worthwhile albums and supplies. There are three Canada themed albums including a Lighthouse regular album 1851-1977 in its original box (the box is a bit beat up, but the album and pages are pristine) - this alone would set you back $200.00. There is older style Lighthouse hingeless album, with a leatherette cover 1851-1971, and a much older style Lindner hingeless album 1851-1958. There are two brand new Rapkin "Favourite Philatelic" springback albums, one blue, one black. One the accessories side there are three unopened packs of 1000 Dennison hinges.

The specials feature of this watermark detector are the different light colours (white, red, green and blue) along with an adjustable brightness. Toted by Lighthouse to "reveal every detail of your stamps, whether it is watermarks or paper irregularities, quality defects or repairs". This is the first time we have offered a used one for sale. Original retail cost = $399.95 $300.00
392 Worldwide Supplies - Manila Stocksheets. A small box containing 100 lightly / moderately used stocksheets. The standard 3-ring hole punch pages are ready to be given a binder and live another day. The "new" retail cost on these is over $150.00.

394 Worldwide Topicals - Fine Arts Topical stamp collection. Includes dancing (including Ice dancing), painting, musical instruments, festivals, costumes, musicians, singers, opera, packed into 5 black page Lighthouse stock books.

There are three additional stockbooks included in this lot which have either unrelated topics or are almost empty. In total, you are getting 4 x 8-page stockbooks and 4x 16-page stockbooks, which are in good condition. The value of the used stockbooks worth the estimate alone. Estimate = $200.00 $110.00
395 Worldwide Topicals - Music Topical collection housed in NINE 8-page black Lighthouse stockbooks. This lot contains a couple thousand stamps for the music lover, and while weighted towards classical music (one book is dedicated to Mozart and another to Beethoven), many other genres are covered. Includes composers, musicians, songs, musical venues. Almost every country in the world seems to be represented. There are mint, used, CTO, with some souvenir sheets and the occasional cover or post card thrown in the mix. The condition is very clean, and only minor duplication is noted. Unchecked for better issues. Warning: contains hours of fun, with the estimate being about the value of the stockbooks alone. Estimate = $200.00 $110.00
396 Worldwide Topicals - Space/Astronomy collection of stamps and covers that seem to have gotten jumbled upon re-entry! The stamp portion includes several hundred stamps mounted on a variety of very specialized album pages (saw Lighthouse, both regular and hingeless, Kabe, homemade). The pages are loose, duplicated, and only partially in order, meaning that some organization is required. There are a few packets which contain a few hundred more recent purchases that are in envelopes awaiting sorting and mounting. About 200 worldwide covers tied to various space missions are included, with strength in the Apollo missions from the late 1960’s – many US and British covers noted.

398 Yugoslavia #1302/1758. Group of 5 manilla stock cards crammed with quantities of large blocks, sheetlets and the occasional souvenir sheet from the 1970's / 1980's. The previous owner counted 287 different issues with a total of 2096 mint stamps. An additional 132 cancelled-to-order stamps were noted, but not considered when valued. An interesting lot with topical interest. Estimate = $120.00 $22.00
399 Zimbabwe #885 / 1092. Group of nine complete sets from the 2001-2009 period, all in blocks or panes (all being inscription blocks). An interesting and diverse group of subject including Beijing Olympics, National Animals, National Heroes, Paintings and Folklore. The latter period of this group was during an unusual period for stamp issuing in this country, with hyperinflation of the Zimbabwean currency making many of the values obsolete between the time of stamp printing and issuing to the public. Although against the law, most goods within the country were traded using foreign currencies and the Zimbabwe dollar was so unstable. 2023 Scott US$528.00 = $712.80 $170.00
400 Zululand #1/20. Lovely accumulation of 40 QV overprints and keyplates displayed on a Hagner stocksheet. There is a mix of mint (most with hinge remnants) and used (with many clear, readable cancels). Saw values up to 1/- and individual catalogue values to about $75.00, #45 has a minor scuff on the front, otherwise the overall condition is excellent. The bit of duplication will give you the opportunity to choose which items are best for your collection and might allow you to recoup some costs from a fellow collector. When was the last time you saw a Southern African offering of this type? 2023 Scott US$582.50 = $786.40 $110.00
