British Commonwealth -
Sometimes the last is not the least, and that is the case with this banker’s box and the end of the line for this consignment. Granted there are a couple of philatelically inspired pieces here (such as an album for the 1982 Commonwealth Day issues), but there is a substantial amount of album pages, stockcards and retired circuit books of many shapes and sizes. Most have made it into this lot because they hold multiple (often unrelated) colonies on one page, meaning that they don’t fit easily anywhere. You won’t see much GB, Canada, Australia, New Zealand here, but almost everywhere else where the "sun never sets" is represented here. Most is pre-mid-Elizabethan, with some Victorian. If you collect the Commonwealth, this lot will not disappoint. Estimate =
