162 Canada - Mint collection of 1997-2006 issues including singles, blocks, sheetlets and souvenir sheets, often with up to 3 of each, nicely arranged and annotated in a 64-page green Unisafe stockbook. Condition is near perfect and includes some higher value definitive issues, with the vast majority being commemorative issues. Previous owner calculated the total 2022 Scott catalogue value at US$1871.00. Conservatively valued only for the usable postage. Total face value = $1,157.50 $875.00
163 Canada - Modern used commemorative kiloware, over a pound of "P" only commemoratives up to 2022 on close-cut single paper. With NO Christmas, spring greetings, or definitives issues (only pure commemoratives) including some uncanceled. Estimate = $150.00 $170.00

165 Canada - Recent & modern kiloware, approx. 20 lbs in baggies crammed into a full banker's box, mostly on close-cut single paper. We noted that these are mostly definitives (as most stamped mail is), but NOT cherry-picked for uncanceled stamps. Estimate = $150.00 $160.00

167 Canada - Uhaul box with albums, stockbooks, dealer stock and "on and off" paper. The best value is likely the used Elizabethan-era, but there are bits and pieces to be found throughout including some cancel interest. Perfect for discovery, upgrading, and filling holes. Thousands upon thousands of stamps. Estimate = $140.00 $140.00
168 Canada and Provinces - Canada 14/88, New Brunswick 8-9, Prince Edward Island 9, Nova Scotia 2/13, Newfoundland 24/248. Always wanted a $5 Jubilee!?! You may never get another chance at a cheaper one. The 229 stamps from Canada are eye appealing, but alas, almost all faulty. We counted 24 Large Queens and high values throughout the Victorian period. The group would represent a very high catalogue value (Scott $7525.00). Definitely some cancel potential here and although faulty, many of the stamps have a great appearance. The NB/NS/PEI catalogues $482.00 with a Nova Scotia #2 (two good and one narrow margins). The 145 Newfie stamps are more weighted in the 20th century (and are generally in better shape than the rest of this offering) and catalogue $710.00. In total this lot has about 380 stamps and a total 2023 Scott catalogue value US$8717.00 = $11,767.95 CDN. As most of the valuable stamps have faults, we have decided to estimate this offering. Estimate = $250.00 $270.00

Spanning from the first Karsh issue up to the NHL commemoratives with overall condition being excellent. Earlier printings are unchecked for papers, so there is still some potential to be discovered. Conservatively valued for the useable postage value alone. Total face value = $348.51 $220.00
170 Canada Booklets - A 21st century accumulation of 90 complete booklets, most from the 43c-54c era. Each identified by the previous owner (a few with residual glue from stickers). Includes both traditional "lick and stick" alongside the more modern "self-adhesive". A nice lot for the booklet collector to keep what you need, then trade / sell / use the remainder. Conservatively valued for the total useable face value alone. Total Face Value = $406.12 $325.00
171 Canada Cancels - Box with over 2 1/2 lbs of on-paper hand postmarks with stamps, mostly QEII and most very recent. Huge variety, from across Canada, but concentration is on western & BC cancels. A lot of cancel fun in here! Estimate = $150.00 $95.00

183 Canada Covers - First Day Covers / British Columbia Postmarks. An interesting and unusual lot of 349 First Day Covers, dated 2005-2015, each bearing an unusual "modern" illustrated cachet and being cancelled from around the province of BC. 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 2005 "Hockey" series, which has all the FDC cancelled at different areas of the mid-Vancouver Island 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 alongside dozens of "illustrated" postmarks which were often only used for special occasions. These are totally unchecked and "one of a kind" as they were made by the collector for his own collection. Estimate = $200.00 $110.00

The examples of #254, 259, C8, CE2 are all cancelled as "day after" FDC, as the actual FDC for these issues are seldom seen. The July 1st covers alone now catalogue $370.00 in Unitrade. An increasingly tough group to find. Estimate = $150.00 $100.00
185 Canada Covers - First Day Covers. Four Lighthouse #8 sized FDC albums (2 blue, 1 green, 1 black), filled with 315 mostly different Canada Post cachet FDCs. Most 1982- 2000, with strength is in 1990’s. We noted many in plate blocks, including 2 different $5 issues as well as other medium to high face value items.

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! Take a look at the Saskatchewan / Alberta offerings in this sale from the same collection. Estimate = $180.00 $65.00

Mint and used with some duplication. Many have been ID’d by Scott. Over 1500 stamps, with hours of fun for a patient collector. Estimate = $200.00 $525.00

246 Egypt #M9. Mint NH 1935 GeoV Silver Jubilee issue 1 piastre Military stamp with "Jubilee Commemoration 1935" overprint in red.

248 Ethiopia #2/803 plus BOB. Dealer’s stock of mint and used issues up to about 1976 arranged on manilla stockpages in two binders. Neatly mounted with Scott numbers making for easy identification. Some better that stood out include 10 copies each of #45-46, 29 sets of #210-216, #268-72 and a badly overprinted forgery. Lots of Semi-official, airmails and postage dues to give this more breadth. Great for building a collection, filling holes, reselling or all three. Conservative guess of $3000.00 catalogue value in total. Estimate = $200.00 $180.00
249 Falkland Islands and Dependencies #9/142, 1L1/1L52. Selection on stockpage of 65 selected mint stamps (mostly hinged).

Decent coverage of 20th century issues and including Saar, Memel & Hungary overprints, plus post-war issues for German administered areas. While there is the occasional better stamp, most of the items are relatively common, although variety and cancel hunters may have some fruitful digging! Estimate = $150.00 $130.00
251 France #15/3023, B1/B697 plus other BOB. Four volume 1849-2017 set of Lighthouse hingeless albums in green binders with matching slipcases (Reference 15). A very comprehensive offering of over 2000 different stamps, mostly used up to 1966, then mint hinged up to 1980 where the mint stamps then become never hinged until 1995 before shifting again to used (and very sparse). Better stamps include #31, 64, 66, 83, 132 and semi-officials: B6-7, 11, 16, 19, 35-7, 41, 66-67. The collector has penciled in the Scott numbers underneath each stamp to aid in identification. The overall condition is good. Inexplicably, there is an additional 5th album with hingeless pages covering 2015-2018 that was never used. The retail price for the albums alone is about $3000.00 along with the substantial catalogue value in the stamps. An attractive way to house a new or existing French collection. Estimate = $1,500.00 $925.00
252 France #21. VF appearing four margin and lightly cancelled 1853-1860 issue 1fr lake on yellowish Napoleon III "Empire" imperf. Shallow Hinge thin at top. Still a great looking example of one of the rarest key French classics. 2023 Scott Classic US$2,475.00= $3,341.25 $220.00

The VF quality sets include singles, pairs and blocks and the "Famous Persons" semi-postal issues alone are worth the estimate. Take a good look at the scans and do the catalogue valuation at your leisure. A very useful group. Owner's conservative estimate = $150.00 $130.00
255 France - Modern Imperforates (1990-1993). VF mint NH selection of 31 lightly duplicated 1990 to 1993 period Yvert and Tellier catalogue listed imperforate issues. The mix includes Europas, Art and other commemoratives, definitives and precancels. All laid out on a cut-down stock page, with catalogue prices in Euros noted in pencil next to each stamp.

There is considerable duplication for most issues and some faults are to be expected but this lot offers the specialist a huge selection of colour varieties and cancels. Estimate = $300.00 $110.00
257 France and Colonies #15/1853 plus BOB. Rapkin binder with Minkus pages to 1983. Not much past the 1970’s but there is a bit of more modern material tucked inside. Includes a good collection of mint hinged and (mostly) used French stamps. Noted many $5-$10 items throughout such as B69, C5-6. There are also pages with a smattering of stamps from a range of French colonies, including some partial sheets, which holds some potential. Estimate = $140.00 $130.00
258 German States Baden #2/27. Specialized selection of 55 duplicated 1851 to 1868 period issues, all organized on three Hagner brand stock sheets and semi-identified, with detailed notes dating from 1991 (just the priced material catalogued by the 1991 Michel at over 1,300 DM, with just as much unpriced). Expect some faults in the lot but a good number of "plus value" postmarks and shades here. Estimate = $325.00 $48.00
259 German States Oldenburg #14. VF used example of the 1861 issue 2g red imperf. Blue "SANDE" boxed postmark. 2023 Scott Classic US$450.00= $607.50 $180.00
260 Germany #4/841, B3/B375, C1/C60. Collections of Germany, Berlin and DDR. A pair of Scott Specialty 2-post albums, the first with pages up to 1960 and a matching slipcase house this very attractive 1506 stamp collection mostly in black mounts. More used than mint and the early issues have a bit of duplication because of cancel interest (noted many with socked-on-the-nose cancels) and possibly other printing differences outside of Scott listings. Lots of stamps in the $5-$25 range. The second volume is a "Germany and Colonies" binder, even though it holds Berlin and DDR stamps and is a bit sparsely populated with an additional 350 stamps. Estimate = $200.00 $75.00
261 Germany #29/1355 plus BOB. Three stockbooks, nicely laid out with a dealer stock to 1981 (most is pre-1950). The first stockbook even has the lines individually numbered by Scott. While the individual stamps don’t have substantial catalogue values (up to about $5 each), there is definitely cancel potential. Over 1700 stamps plus the 32-page and 48-page Unisafe stockbooks and a 64-page Lighthouse stockbook, all in very nice condition. Estimate = $160.00 $95.00
262 Germany #671/2735 plus BOB. As new 4-volume Lighthouse hingeless albums covering post-war Germany 1949-2017 with matching slipcases. Noted a few hundred used stamps and some souvenir sheets, with a good representation up to 1996, after which it drops off and by 2006 there are very few stamps. Not a lot of valuable individual stamps here, but the value is in the albums, which have a current list price of over $1800.00! Estimate = $600.00 $350.00
263 Germany #C38-C39. F/VF mint OG Hinged 1930 issue "South America flight" 2m ultramarine and 4m black brown Graf Zeppelin airmails. Scarce material from the golden age of long-distance dirigibles. 2023 Scott US$500.00= $675.00 $130.00
264 Germany #C40-C42. Complete F/VF mint Hinged 1931 issue "Polar Flight" Graf Zeppelin airmail set of three, consisting of the 1m carmine, 2m ultramarine and 4m black brown. A "must have" set for the classic era aero-philatelist. 2023 Scott Classic $710.00= $958.50 $170.00

266 Germany - DDR #48/2803. Very complete collection of DDR running the length of its existence. A mix of mint and used, being very complete until the mid-1980’s, with most of what is missing being souvenir sheets. Better mint (hinged) issues include Mao portraits (#129 with corner crease) and Marx souvenir sheets with #226a being never hinged. Scott numbers lightly penciled under each stamp to aid in identification. About 2000 stamps, with an estimated 2023 Scott catalogue value of US$1600.00. The collection is housed in a near-new three volume Lighthouse hingeless albums with matching slipcases, which have a list price of $2150.00 alone if bought new. Estimate = $800.00 $240.00
267 Germany / Zara #29 (Michel). Fresh and Fine mint NH 1943 issue WWII German Occupation "Deutsche Besetzung Zara" provisional overprint on the 5 lire deep green Italian airmail stamp. The key value to the set. Signed twice on reverse and with a smudgy red handstamp at lower left which could be a botched "Bolaffi" guarantee. 2019 Michel catalogue 11,000.00 Euros = $16,082.00 $825.00
268 Gibraltar #1266/1489. Good run of 2011-2015 issues, including a number of singles, sets and souvenir sheets, mostly different and in pristine condition. These were just recently removed from their original sales envelopes to display. Includes typical Gibraltar themes such as military, Royalty and scenery. Significant face value in each set, which contributes to a strong showing in the catalogue. 2023 Scott US$534.50 = $721.58 $100.00
269 Great Britain #3. Terrific study lot of 124 used copies mounted on black stock pages. Obvious cancel potential, with some very readable numerals. We noticed a number of 3-plus margin examples in the mix. While some faults to be expected, this is a very nice study group. 2023 Scott US$4030.00 = $5,440.00 $110.00
270 Great Britain #28. VF (four clear margins) used example of the 1856 issue 1sh green, wmk 24 (Heraldic Emblems). As per Scott footnotes, a premium has been added for superior centering. 2023 Scott Classic US$600.00= $810.00 $140.00
271 Great Britain #32. Mint OG Hinged example of the 1860-1870 issue 1½p dull rose Victoria, Plate 3, watermark 2 (Large Crown). Short perf noted at lower right corner, otherwise sound and Fine. 2023 Scott Classic US$550.00= $742.50 $55.00
272 Great Britain #34. Mint no gum example of the 1862 issue 4p vermilion Victoria, watermark 23 (Large Garter). A few irregular perfs at left, otherwise sound and Fine. 2023 Scott Classic US$2,250.00= $3,037.50 $70.00
273 Great Britain #66. Well centered and fresh VF mint no gum example of the 1875 issue 2½p claret, plate 2, watermark 28 (Anchor). Margins well clear of design on all sides so a 50% premium has been added as per Scott footnotes. 2023 Scott classic US$1,162.50= $1,569.38 $140.00
274 Great Britain #82/1284 plus Regionals. A good starter collection in Stanley Gibbons album. The early years are a bit thin but noted a nice copy of QV #104 (cat US$210.00) and clean used copies of KEVII #136-138 (cat US$110.00), but sadly the mint Seahorses #222-223 have creases. The early QEII phosphor issues are hinged as the 1970’s issues transition into mostly mint. We counted £166.70 in face value, with face values up to £5. There is a bit of duplication and lots to build from. Estimate = $250.00 $170.00
275 Great Britain #96, 108, 109. Sound and F/VF used trio of large format 1883-1884 issue high values, consisting of the 2sh6p lilac, 5sh carmine rose and 10sh ultramarine. All very well centered with moderate cancels. Conservatively valued, without any of the 25% premiums added for centering (as per Scott footnotes). The 5sh and 10sh values both have "HSB" perfins. 2023 Scott US$1,090.00= $1,471.50 $95.00
276 Great Britain #98-107. Generally Fine used complete set of ten 1883-1884 period issues, from the ½p up to the 1sh high value. Expect the odd small fault. 2023 Scott Classic US$1,994.00= $2,691.90 $120.00
277 Great Britain #124. Sound and fresh VF used, oval registered cancelled example of the 1891 issue £1.00 green Queen Victoria, watermark 30 (Imperial Crowns). As per Scott footnotes, a 25% premium for centering (margins clear of design) has been added. A superior quality Victorian era high value. 2023 Scott US$1,156.25= $1,560.94 $210.00
278 Great Britain #142. Sound and Very Fine centered used example of the 1902 issue £1 blue green Edward VII high value. Clear London oval Registered cancels (SE '29 '15). A fault free and superior quality Edwardian era top value. 2023 Scott Classic US$825.00= $1,113.75 $220.00
279 Great Britain #U1. Mulready Postal Stationery Envelope. A strikingly clean and attractive June 3rd 1840 usage with red "Maltese Cross" posted from London to The Earl of Arran in Wexford. Much better condition than often seen, with a nice historically important connection with the addressee. 2023 Scott Specialized US$600.00 = $810.00 $150.00
280 Great Britain #U1/U4. Duo of unused Mulready stationery. Includes the 1p black envelope with a bit of mounting damage at the top (back) and a bit grubby but of particular interest is the inside, where a previous owner detailed how he was given the piece in 1865!. The 2p blue is in lettersheet format with a bit of minor staining on the back and a crease. Not unusual condition for either of these early Victorian postal stationery pieces. Total 2023 Scott US$800.00 = $1,080.00 $170.00
281 Great Britain - Accumulation of material from a wide range of sources. A result of multiple holdings that didn't lead direct path as a single lot, so were set-aside. Eventually, a number of these collections, accumulations, covers, stamps etc. add up to fill a box...and that is what we have done here. Noted some higher value modern commercial covers and FDCs, a few presentation packs, stamps on and off paper, as well as some fragments from albums (goes back to Victorian times). There is lots to discover here! Estimate = $140.00 $110.00
282 Great Britain - File box of covers. Includes a couple hundred first day and commemorative (RAF, flight) covers from 1960’s-80’s. Some in albums, some free-range and includes a bit of commercial mail (including some jumbo "insured/registered") and the odd active service cover. The highlight has to be the 28-page booklet with over 20 covers produced for the 1960 National Maritime Museum Exhibition. Only 90 of these booklets were produced and includes the original correspondence from 1963. Estimate = $150.00 $90.00
283 Great Britain - Group of 80 album pages of mid-QEII era print varieties. Expertly assembled and covering 1976-1987, most of these pages have SG listed varieties, including print shifts, flyspecs, plate flaws, paper and gum variants etc. Seem to be all VF mint Never hinged, mounted with the regular stamp and often a cylinder block. A few FDCs round out the collection. Perfect to make your collection of modern GB have a bit of "zing" to it. The original cost and effort to accumulate this material was significant. Around 500 stamps in total. A great lot for any collector of Elizabethan Great Britain. Estimate = $300.00 $260.00
284 Great Britain - Massive mixed Condition 19th to mid-20th Century Accumulation. Mostly used selection/accumulation of hundreds of 1840s to 1940s period issues, covering Victoria, Edward VII, George V and George VI era material. All neatly laid out on Hagner brand stock sheets. Note that the condition is VERY mixed with faults noted throughout (take this into account when determining a bid) but there could be some cancel or variety interest in this uninspected group. Take a good look at the scans to judge for yourself. Owner's 2023 Scott US$11,195.00= $15,113.25 $250.00
285 Great Britain - Modern Mint Medley. A choice selection of sets, singles and souvenir sheets from the 1999-2012 period, still neatly arranged on the stockcards as received from the Royal Mail (most with receipts as well). A nice array of topics here including Millenium, Extreme Endeavors, British Museum, 2012 London Paralympics, Christmas, Bridges and Comics. Noted many "Pound Plus" stamps, 167x 1st Class, "E" Europe rates and the 2010 issued Special Delivery self-adhesive stamps. Conservatively valued at the postage face value. Total usable GB face value is 361.77 pounds, converted at today’s rate into CDN$= $617.58 $675.00
286 Great Britain - Modern souvenir sheets, mostly from the last 25 years plus 12x 1st class 100g labels. All in good condition with 45 in total (noted the "Penny Black and 2p Blue" 175th anniversary sheets) and includes 10 from the Channel Islands. Lots of "stamp on stamp" themes as well as the major Royal and WWII anniversary isses. Well protected in a high-end 32 page blue "Comfort" stockbook with acetate strips. Conservatively valued at the total face value of the stamps alone. Total face value £190.84 = $318.70 $260.00
287 Great Britain - Recent £ values used. Selection of 89 different recent & modern £1 & up values. Many of these are very difficult to find used since so few people use stamps anymore. 2024 Scott US$311.00 = $419.85 $120.00
288 Great Britain - Research grouping of forty stampless folded letters from the first half of the 19th century. Noted some free franking, OHMS and cancel potential. Most of the items have been neatly laid out in single page clear plastic pages, giving both protection and ease of access to read. Typical mixed condition for the era, but a seldom seen larger offering from an estate, having not seeing the light of day in decades. Estimate = $200.00 $75.00
289 Great Britain - Selection of recent used consisting of 92 different 2017 - 2023 issues (no Machins). Of particular note, 56 of these are £1 & up face values! Recent used commemoratives are very difficult to find since so few people use stamps anymore. 2024 Scott US$ 221.50 = $299.03 $170.00
290 Great Britain - U-Haul box with a range of albums, stockbooks, dealer cards and loose pages. Strength is in pre-decimal QEII, but noted a bit of worthwhile earlier and over £50 in decimal era face value from the 70’s-80s. Noted an older Lighthouse hingeless album with pages covering 1953-68, a 1985 year set, three stockbooks with mostly used QEII era stamps, a couple of Collecta and an old SG album with early QEII pages and stamps. A few early Elizabethan booklets and a bit of QV-KEVII singles on card that have some potential. A real mix here, in need of a good sort. Estimate = $150.00 $130.00
291 Great Britain - Alderney #1/538. A pair of Stanley Gibbons albums with added clear top opening mounts is the perfect host for this near complete collection. The pages run 1983-2018, but there are no stamps after 2015 except a couple of booklets. All the stamps are in perfect condition. The collector penciled in the Scott catalogue numbers beside the SG numbers. An affordable way to add to your Channel Islands collection. Albums, pages and matching slip cases retail $250.00. Conservatively valued for the total face value of the mint stamps. Total face value £284.00 = $474.30 $180.00
292 Great Britain - Guernsey #2/1319 plus BOB. Large five-volume Stanley Gibbons album set with pages from 1941-2018 and matching slip cases house (retail value $500.00). This unbelievable opportunity to get a relatively affordable, near complete collection of Guernsey to within the last decade. The owner expertly added clear, top opening mounts and penciled in Scott numbers next to the Stanley Gibbons catalogue number. The collection itself is in excellent condition and is a bit of a mix of mint and used up to 2000, but along the way it contains a significant amount of newer issues that have a face value alone of £731.00 ($1206.00 CDN). Estimated at considerably less than the mint face value postage alone, with an excellent set of albums included. Estimate = $950.00 $350.00
293 Great Britain - Isle of Man #1/411, J1/J24. Collection housed within a Stanley Gibbons 22-ring binder with pages to 1989. A very complete offering of 400 stamps, 18 booklets and 8 souvenir sheets. Stamps all appear to be mint, never hinged and arranged in mounts. The bit of duplication is either for display purposes, or because of overlapping purchases by the collector. A very clean and relatively complete offering from this time period. 2023 Scott US$347.95 = $469.73 $60.00
294 Great Britain - Jersey #1/1895 plus some BOB. Massive collection of Jersey, Channel Islands from 1941 to 2016, housed in a 5-volume Stanley Gibbons album set with matching slip covers (these alone retail about $700.00). The collector added clear open top mounts and proceeded to fill them with a range of both mint (hinged) and used stamps (early years), followed by a relentless pursuit of new issues after 1985 with face values up to £10. Missing the occasional stamp, souvenir sheet or booklet, this is an extensive collection to build from. Very conservatively valued by the face value alone in this collection, although consideration should be given to the matched set of albums as well. Total face value £1199.00 = $2,002.00 $425.00
295 Great Britain Channel Islands - Guernsey (1/400, J1-J41, N1-3), Alderney (1-41), Jersey (1/531, J1-46, N1-8). Duo of Stanley Gibbons albums (one binder with back cover split), contain one of the nicest, most complete collections of this type that you are likely to find. Starts with the WWII occupation issues and goes to 1989, with very few missing stamps. Regional issues onwards, all are mint never hinged, including the better sub numbers, booklet panes, back of the book and souvenir sheets. All arranged in black open-top mounts. Guernsey has 422 stamps & 12 booklets & 6 panes with a total catalogue value US$363.55, Alderney has 41 stamps cataloguing US$42.00 and Jersey has 550 stamps, 18 booklets and 40 panes with a total catalogue value US$347.50. Only minor duplication, usually for the purposes of eye appeal. Total 2023 Scott US$753.05 = $1,016.60 $170.00
296 Greenland #1/229, B1/B40a. Nearly complete mint regular issues covering 1938-1990 and semi-postals up to 2015. The obvious missing set is the WWII liberation overprint set. While the earlier issues are hinged, the collection then shifts to consistently never hinged after 1980. Neatly arranged on Scott Specialty pages in hingleless mounts, with a matching narrow binder and slipcase. A very clean, attractive offering. 2023 Scott US$1040.65 = $1,404.88 $825.00
297 Greenland #1/328, B3/B22. Fresh, sound and F/VF mint H/NH selection of 136 stamps, 1938 to 1998 period issues. Loaded with complete sets depicting all sorts of Greenland and Arctic subjects. 2022 Scott US$543.50= $733.33 $80.00
298 Greenland #19-27. Complete set of overprints honoring the liberation of Denmark at the end of the Second World War. Each stamp is overprinted and neatly cancelled in the lower corner. Overall condition is excellent A key Greenland set. 2023 Scott US$885.00 = $1,194.75 $300.00
299 Greenland #22a. The key 10 ore value with carmine coloured overprint, beautiful rich colour, mint and extremely lightly hinged. Overprinted to celebrate the liberation of Denmark at the end of World War II. The usual overprint was in black ink, but a small number of panes were given a red overprint. 2023 Scott US$375.00 = $506.25 $130.00
300 Greenland #231/556. Nearly complete used collection of Greenland, covering 1990-2009, mostly philatelic usages (as most have clean first day cancels). The result is cleanly used stamps with readable cancels. Housed in a Scott Specialty album with matching slipcase, this lot has ENORMOUS catalogue value and initial cost. Total 2023 Scott US$1515.90 = $2,046.46 $325.00
301 Greenland #390/570. Lot of 84 different First Day Covers from 2001-2008 including the Parcel Post Centenary, #497, 497a. Pleasingly displayed on Vario-brand pages and housed in a Scott Specialty three ring binder with matching slipcase, all in excellent condition. Greenland produced relatively lower numbers of issues, in relatively lower quantities with Scandinavian face values. As a result, these covers have significant catalogue value (usually $15-$25 each). Conservatively valued for the catalogue price of the stamps only, with no extra consideration for the FDC. 2023 Scott of US$830.65 = $1,121.38 $110.00
302 Greenland #559/743. A very complete collection of used Greenland issues covering 2010-2016, with a little bit of more recent material added that the collector didn’t get around to mounting. Primarily philatelic usages from first day covers, missing the occasional souvenir sheet or different perf variety/booklet die cutting, for which there were no philatelic sales. Still a very pleasing offering, with stamps in excellent condition and tidy cancels. Protected in a Scott Specialty binder (non-Greenland, no slipcase). Total 2023 Scott US$1569.15 = $2,118.35 $210.00
303 Greenland #568/712. Lot of 83 mostly different First Day Covers from 2009-2015 including the Art and Mining issues. Pleasingly displayed on Vario-brand pages and housed in a Scott Specialty three ring binder with matching slipcase. The covers and album are both in excellent condition. Greenland produced relatively lower numbers of issues, in relatively lower quantities, with Scandinavian face values. As a result, these covers have significant catalogue values of up to $30 a cover (for the stamps only). Conservatively catalogued for the stamps only. 2023 Scott US$960.10 = $1,296.13 $150.00
304 Grenadines of Grenada #1/1645. Mint NH and CTO duplicated selection of 1973-1994 period issues, including 305 stamps, souvenir sheets and intact booklets. Excellent range of subject matter. A perfect lot for the topical collector or dealer. 2022 Scott US$442.90 = $597.92 $55.00
305 Haiti #1/867 plus BOB. Better than average Haitian collection of about 900 mint (hinged) and used stamps. Includes some good Liberty Head coverage and notable issues such as #30, B1, CB1-2, C19a imperf, C318A. Lots of overprints, airmails and souvenir sheets. Great appeal to topical collectors. Neatly mounted on Scott Specialized album with pages to 1973, then another type of Scott pages to 1986. Good hunting here. Estimate = $150.00 $130.00
306 Heligoland #1/25. The "Good, the Bad and the Ugly" duplicated lot of 167 mint and used stamps, including original genuine issues, reprints and forgeries, in sound and sometimes faulty condition. Offered intact as originally received from a very old estate, completely unchecked by us. All neatly laid out on three stock sheets to facilitate inspection. Take a VERY good look at the scans as there are very possibly gems mixed in with the more pedestrian material. As interesting an unpicked lot of these 1860s-1880s period former North Sea British possession (ceded to Schleiswig-Holstein in 1890) as we have ever offered. Estimate = $350.00 $120.00
307 Hong Kong #10/792. British rule era accumulation of 800 stamps and many souvenir sheets housed in a 16-page Lighthouse brand stockbook. The early material is mostly used and has some treaty port cancels ("S1", "Y1", "Shanghai"), with a good range through the Kings and then mid-QEII period including some Common Design issues. There is some mint material from the 1990’s including blocks of the "Colour of Chinese" characters issues and a number of souvenir sheets with quantities up to 15 of a kind. Noted individual stamps with catalogue values up to $20.00 each. Likely a few hidden gems to be found by the studious collector. Estimate = $160.00 $260.00
308 Hong Kong #12/179. Stocksheet with QV-KGVI used issues. Included amongst the 77 stamps are some nicer individual values including most of the Centenary and the Royal Wedding set. Many of the more common values have clear, readable cancels. The bottom row (not included in the catalogue total) includes 5 stamps with perfins, 1 with a rubberstamp and the final with a possible revenue cancel. 2021 Scott US$279.70 = $377.87 $120.00
309 Hong Kong Revenue - Barefoot Stamp Duty #27a. Sound and VF used example of the 1892 issue TEN DOLLARS grey-green Stamp Duty high value, watermark Crown CC. Cancelled both by pen and with the premium "HONG KONG PAID ALL" CDS. 2012 Barefoot catalogue £350.00= $596.00 $75.00

Most are KGVI, but a couple of KGV decided to join in. Includes regular and "Service" issues with most being never hinged (if not NH, then lightly hinged or have the slightest of gum disturbance). An outstanding group! 2021 Scott US$548.75 = $740.80 $200.00
311 Indonesia #1/1945 plus BOB. A dealer’s stock covering 1948-2001 housed in a four pocket KABE 32-page stockbook. Noted both mint and used, with duplication of up-to 10 of a stamp. The previous owner did a detailed inventory in 2012, counting about 1210 stamps. We compared against the current Scott and are comfortable with the total being reasonable close to what today’s total would be. Owner’s 2012 Scott US$1710.00 = $2,308.50 $60.00
312 Indonesia - Uncommon grouping of 440 covers, most 1950s-60s, but a few earlier to the Dutch-Indies era. Includes lots of first day covers (with duplication), commercial mail (with a bundle used to ADEN!), a touch of postal stationery/air letters and even some tourist postcards. Expect some faults, but overall condition is excellent. Lots of registered items, including to Canada and Great Britain. A good chance to get in on some underappreciated postal history. Estimate = $140.00 $160.00
313 Ireland #26/35, 40-41, 49, 56, 62. Generally F/VF mint H/NH and used selection of 24 lightly duplicated 1922 to 1923 period overprinted issues. Note that the pair of #62 is NH and the mint Hinged #56 has a small thin. 2021 Scott US$470.75 = $635.51 $110.00
314 Israel - Box of covers with commemorative and Pictorial cancels issued between 1968-1988. This holding has between 1000-1100 covers, each a small size, unaddressed, with the Israeli post office cachet and a contemporary low value definitive tied by a different commemorative cancel. This holding came directly from the Israeli pictorial cancel service, most still wrapped in the original paperwork. This appears to have been an annual subscription, and the collector never got around to dealing with them, so they are pretty much "as received" mercifully the rubber bands are not original. Estimate = $200.00 $60.00
315 Italy and San Marino - Mainly mint San Marino dealer’s stock with up to 10 of a type, #3/1628 and some good BOB, catalogued in 2013 at US$822.00. This is followed by some interesting Italian pre-1950’s issues, including #58-63, overprints for "GNR", AMF-VG", Socialist republic, and the Polish Forces in Italy Cinderellas. We noted nice tab pairs in the lot. Finishes with a bit of modern, including a set of the 1992 Columbus souvenir sheets. Over 1200 stamps in an older 32-page stockbook. Estimate = $150.00 $44.00
316 Italy Trieste #1/137. Small used stock of Italian regular issues overprinted "AMG-FTT" for use under the American Military Government in a free Trieste, just after the conclusion of the war. The 99 stamps include #14, #41, #69 (four copies), #78 (2 copies). All cleanly used, and only a couple with minor faults noted. A good way to build a collection or fill in some holes. 2023 Scott US$623.00 = $841.05 $70.00
317 Italy Trieste #1/208. Italian regular issues overprinted "AMG-FTT" for use under the American Military Government in a free Trieste, just after the conclusion of the war.

318 Italy Trieste #C1/C23, E1/E7, EY1/EY5, J1/J28, Q1/Q22.

Better includes 19th century issues, with some lovely cancels, a few used souvenir sheets, some National Parks and C43 (mint). From the early 1990s, there are stamps with a face value totaling 6620 Yen ($61.50 CDN). The lot ends with some revenues, cut squares and some large attractive used multiples. Estimate = $150.00 $170.00
321 Japan - Kiloware. Bag containing 1 1/2 lbs with modern & recent (up to 2022 issues) on close-cut single paper. A nice mix, not often seen (and thus seldom offered). Estimate = $120.00 $80.00
322 Korea - A "North and South" collection. Including North Korea (11/1796a) about 400 M&U stamps covering separation to about 1979, filling about ½ of a 32 page red rooster stockbook.

Loaded with topicals and premium value imperforates (including the 1981 Royal Wedding in pairs, blocks and gutter blocks). A very clean accumulation, well organized on stock pages. 2022 Scott US$387.30= $522.86 $90.00
326 Liechtenstein #368/597. First Day Cover holding in two volumes. Beautiful, unaddressed, cacheted and fairly complete from 1963-1976. Some tasteful duplication (up to three of an issue).

328 Malaya Negri Sembilan #15c. VF centered and mint no gum example of the 1899 issue "Four Cents" surcharge on 8c lilac and blue, with DOUBLED SURCHARGE (one red, one dark green). Horizontal crease at top, still a rare Malayan State classic error. 2023 Scott Classic US$1,000.00= $1,350.00 $140.00
329 Montserrat #1/614 plus a bit of BOB. A good run of Montserrat from the Victorian period up to 1986. As always, the earlier mint issues tend to be hinged. Noted the Royal Wedding, 1951 and 1953 definitive issues, a couple of First Day covers, booklets and some Specimen overprints (modify your expectations - they are more recent). The added value in this lot comes in the form of barely-touched computer-generated album pages that goes up to 2002. 2021 Scott US$439.60 = $593.46 $65.00
330 Natal #2. Mint 1857 issue embossed 6 Pence imperf on green paper. Small flaws including a couple of pinholes (common with these rough-hewn provisionals). A very rare early issue from British Africa in any condition. 2023 Scott Classic US$2,000.00= $2,700.00 $190.00
331 Netherlands #2/1211 plus a bit of Colonies. Very thorough collection of 2400 regular issue commemoratives & definitives from the first issue until the end of 2005.

333 New Caledonia #330/558, C47/C210 IMPERFORATES. VF mint NH selection of 1964 to 1987 period issues, all commemoratives or airmails, ALL IMPERFORATE. Great eye-catching thematics, consisting of one single imperf, otherwise all pairs or blocks. Huge catalogue value upside if you revalue these by the specialized French catalogues. Worth full Scott! Owner's 2017 Scott as regular stamps US$153.45 = $207.23 $42.00
334 Nigeria #4/113. A magnificent selection of two-dozen stamps, representing of some of the nicest used Nigeria that you will ever see.

337 Northern Rhodesia #1/87, J3. Before it was Zambia, this British African colony produced some lovely stamps. Includes KGV values up to 5/- and KGVI up to 20/-. This selection of 55 different stamps will give you a good start on its entire production of issues. Includes #1-7, 9-10, 12-14, 25-45, 87 (QEII 10/-). 2021 Scott US$384.65 = $519.28 $180.00

339 Nyasaland Protectorate #21/134, J2. Led by a 6 pack of high denomination keystones and both shades of the 5/- KGVI, these 20 stamps are over all in excellent condition. A couple have minor corner faults which can be seen in the picture. Total 2021 Scott US$451.75 = $618.00 $55.00
340 Paraguay #23/1796 plus BOB. Far more thorough than often seen offering from this South American paradise. Includes over 1500 different mint (hinged) and used stamps mounted on Minkus pages protected by a battered Global Supreme binder. The pages go to 1994, but there are few stamps past 1978. Good coverage from 1887-1960’s with both perforated and imperforate issues and a nice showing of souvenir sheets (including sports, space, animal topics). The back of the book is well represented with lots of airmail and officials. The minor duplication is usually because there is both a mint and used example. Estimate = $250.00 $250.00
341 Poland and Baltics #11/1412 plus BOB. Old Schaubek album with pages up to 1964 and stamps not much past that (which shows us that this collection has not been touched in decades). The album has pages for Poland, General Government, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Poland has an even representation throughout, noted some Grozny overprints and local issues, a few 1950’s used souvenir sheets and good selection from the back of the book. The other countries have similar coverage, with a broad offering but no show-stoppers. Throughout there are excellent examples of a range of cancels. About 1000 mint (hinged) and used stamps in total. Estimate = $140.00 $110.00
342 Portugal and Colonies - Disorganized collection of over 1000 stamps distributed on 50 album or stock pages. Some meticulously identified and catalogued, others...not so much.

344 Romania #22/2725 plus BOB. An amalgamation of two collections, one on quadrilled pages and the other on Minkus pages. Once you ignore the top half of the first page (which we believe are reprints or forgeries), this collection develops into a pleasantly complete collection including many of the King Charles’ issues, and some very nice semi-postal issues. There are also pages of duplicates with shades and cancel potential. About 3300 stamps here, which should prove rewarding for the patient collector. Estimate = $200.00 $70.00
345 Saint Helena #3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21.

The 1923 issue ''Collection de Timbres de Transvaal'' booklet containing 63 different "mint" reprints of 1885 to 1901 period issues including Occupation overprints and values to £5.00. An exceptional reference source for the Commonwealth collector and South African philatelic researcher. Note that many of the Transvaal stamps that are found in collections are actually these reprints (particularly the higher values). Estimate = $325.00 $55.00
348 Sweden #LX1p. Fine mint no gum Scott Classic and Facit listed reprint (1st printing) of the 1856 issue 1sk black stamp for City Postage. A scarce Swedish forerunner. 2023 Scott Classic US$525.00= $708.75 $34.00

356 Tristan Da Cunha #1/567. Nearly complete and nearly all never hinged (noticed #12, 26-27 were hinged). It is missing 28/41 and some of the common design issues from the 1960’s. Neatly mounted in black top opening mounts on quadrilled pages. The lot includes the good 1990’s sets that are always desired by topical collectors. A handful of stamps away from having a complete first half-century of issued stamps. 2022 Scott US$1002.65 = $1,353.88 $210.00
357 Turks and Caicos Islands #118/1366. The first of a three part, very complete Elizabethan-era collection. This volume includes all definitives issued up to 2003, and commemoratives from 1953-1983. All stamps appear to be mint, never hinged, with no obvious faults noted. We did note a copy of #341a watermarked.

360 United Nations - Bigger and Better Box. In reverse-chronological order, there are about 100 new issue presentation cards covering 1986-2012 arranged in 40 Vario-brand 1-pocket pages. There is a random assortment of 38 lightly duplicated World Heritage prestige booklets circa 2000-2005 (these catalogue $15-20 each). The collection then goes back to the earlier days of the UN, with some interesting FDC, meters, permit and even a US International Reply Coupon cancelled at the UN New York office. Saw some UNESCO-themed FDCs from non-UN entities. There is a handful of new issue stamps and souvenir sheets from the late 60’s-mid’70s that don’t appear to have been touched since they were bought and there are a few sheets of the 1 ½ c first UN headquarters issue.

361 United Nations - Dual and Triple UN office cancelled first day covers 1971-2015 with each bearing either 2 or 3 stamp-issuing UN offices (depending on which were open at the time of release). The first 199 covers are smaller sized, as the stamp issues were smaller and there was only New York and Geneva and are mounted in 2 pocket Vario-brand pages. When the stamp, set or souvenir sheets got larger (or if a third issuer was added) the covers can only fit in 1 pocket Vario pages. There are 128 of these larger format covers. Significant catalogue value in the more recent issues and representing a very expensive original retail cost. A total of 327 covers and over 100 Vario pages all neatly arranged within 5 blue padded FDC albums with matching slip cases. A wonderful lot of "supplies alone". Estimate = $300.00 $160.00
362 United Nations - The 1951 to 1998 Period - Three Office Collection. 99% mint NH collection of over 1,500 different stamps and souvenir sheets, representing the first issues from New York, Geneva and Vienna offices up to 1998. The material is housed in two printed White Ace albums and in a slightly reduced stock book (some pages have been cut out). Seems to be pretty comprehensive but didn't go through it with a fine-toothed comb. This being said, the material is of very high quality. Also, they did a very accurate count and catalogue valuation for all three volumes. Owner's accurate 2022 Scott US$961.85= $1,298.50 $230.00
363 USA #27/2163a, C1-6, Q1-12, JQ1/5 and postal stationery. Two volume "All American" padded Minkus albums with pages up to 1985. The pages and the binders themselves are in excellent shape!

370 USA Covers - First Flight FFC Collection Part 2. Bankers box containing 10 binders, with a total of 197 covers from the classic 1930's flights to the obscure flights of the 1960's.

Estimate = $200.00 $110.00
371 USA Covers - Small box packed with collector made First Day Covers from the 1996-1999 period, each with a seldom seen "modern" illustrated cachet. Along with being a group of unusual cachet FDC, the collector also made a point of visiting some obscure Post Offices within Washington State (primarily) to get these First Day Covers cancelled. A wealth of modern cancels, alongside a fair-size investment in stamps alone! A total of 374 covers here, great for the "modern" US collector. Estimate = $120.00 $44.00
372 Wallis and Futuna #1/498. C2/C195.

A total of 285 stamps, up to 1997 (the early ones are hinged, as usual). Includes good representation of the "France Libre" overprints, as well as French Colonial common design, and popular topics such as birds and aircraft.

374 Worldwide - Attractive 1977 QEII Silver Jubilee collection on White Ace pages (with black mounts). Mostly British Commonwealth countries, but also includes issues from other countries around the globe, that a cynic would say were trying to "jump on the bandwagon". Sets, souvenir sheets, gutter pairs and booklets which all appear to be very fine, mint and never hinged. A substantial offering with significant initial cost. A total of 390 stamps, 96 souvenir sheets and 11 booklets. Estimate = $150.00 $36.00
375 Worldwide - Box containing 15 old stamp albums and springbacks, all at least 40 years old with a wide range of stamps. Thousands of stamps, ranging from topicals to some classic material.

376 Worldwide - Box containing thousands of stamps, in almost every conceivable presentation including album pages, stock cards and loose (both on and off paper).

377 Worldwide - Collections of 1978 Captain Cook Bicentenary, 1981 Wedding of Prince Charles (sic) and 1983 Commonwealth Day issues on specialty White Ace album pages (with black mounts). Appears to be near (if not) complete with the stamps being in perfect condition. The Cook section consists of 201 stamps and 49 souvenir sheets, not surprisingly heavily tied to the countries that he travelled. Despite the "Prince Charles" title, it is actually Princess Diana that is featured in the second section with 162 stamps, 82 souvenir sheets and 5 booklets. The final chapter is the underappreciated holiday of Commonwealth Day, which was commemorated in 1983 with 216 stamps and 6 souvenir sheets. Be grateful that it wasn’t you who bought these as new issues as the initial cost would be immense. A total 578 stamps, 137 souvenir sheets and 5 booklets. Estimate = $200.00 $70.00
378 Worldwide - File box with 9 stockbooks with a range of sizes, styles, manufacturers, condition and "fullness" plus a two volume modern used Canada collection 2002-2013 on "Parliament" printed pages (includes lots of commemoratives).

Estimate = $150.00 $150.00
379 Worldwide - HOARD of 19 old albums which fill THREE Uhaul boxes. Includes Harris (multiple volumes of Standard, Statesman, Traveller), as well as Regent & Comprehensive albums. A range of "completeness" with some sparsely filled, while others are packed. Along with these albums is a binder with over 40 Vario-brand pages filled with stamps. There has to be 30,000 stamps here, with not too many after 1980, but far too many for us to take a close look at. Hours of fun are guaranteed here. Estimate = $350.00 $350.00
380 Worldwide - Penny Black Sesquicentennial (150th anniversary). A lovely 100 page Fleetwood created collection in custom 3-post binder (minor scuff on the cover).

The 129 stamps and 32 souvenir sheets, from a wide variety of countries are attractively mounted in black mounts. This would make for a nice addition to a Penny Black or early British collection. It makes for interesting reading and would also will be of interest to a "stamp on stamp" topical collector. Enormous initial cost. Estimate = $140.00 $190.00
381 Worldwide - Picker’s delight! Uhaul box with balance of a consignment. Includes 5 albums, 3 stockbooks and a mess of loose albums and stockpages, with dealer cards all piled in.

Produced in the 1990's by the "Excelsior" company, these albums are filled with custom pages, each to present a banknote along with a "coin insert" cachet cover (often fully illustrated). A true "trip around the globe" within these albums, with a total of 73 different coin / stamp covers and 73 different banknotes being showcases. Although we are not sure of the exact original cost of these, it is sufficient to say that it was substantial. Estimate = $250.00 $160.00
384 Worldwide - Two albums of train topicals, starting with a large offering of "A" to "I" countries with the stamps in clear mounts packed into a thick red springback album, including classic issues such as Belgium alongside more modern fare (such as Bhutan). The second album is a 16-page Unisafe stockbook with a wide range of sets and souvenir sheets from a wide range of countries. Significant effort and expense went into accumulating this selection. We counted 1570 mint (mostly never hinged) and used stamps, 91 souvenir sheets and 5 booklets. Estimate = $200.00 $150.00
385 Worldwide - Two binders with a significant accumulation packed into 60 Hagner or Vario brand black stocksheets. Better material is from the People’s Republic of China, Germany and Jugoslavia.

A small black binder containing 34 stamps and 37 covers, all issued to commemorate the visit of Queen Elizabeth & The Duke of Edinburgh as they circumnavigated the globe in 6 months, making many first…or "first since Coronation" visits to a wide array of Commonwealth countries.

390 Worldwide Postcards - Banker's box HOARD of worldwide postcards. An absolute sorter's dream, with a total of 3095 postcards from around the world. We only gave this one a cursory look before having the cards counted, so offered as received with potential finds to be had. A mix of "older" to "newer", with the majority being the latter. We even noted a sealed pack of modern Canada Post "prepaid" postcards near the top ($2.71 postage value each). The patient lady who counted these noted that the postcard "packs" were not counted in the grand total. Estimated at less than 6c per card! Estimate = $150.00 $95.00

Although the majority seem to be more modern cards, there are "sleepers" and older cards mixed throughout to please the deltiologist. Estimate = $140.00 $32.00
393 Worldwide Supplies - Group of 7 Lighthouse brand deluxe 3-ring albums (all with dust jackets). A premium group of albums, with at least half of them appearing to have never been used. These albums are now over $50 each retail, with the price seeming on the rise each year due to supply chain issues. While five of these are your standard size, two are oversized and can fit a variety of oversized pages (still with the standard 3-hole arrangement).
