One of the few times that you will ever be able to get such a diverse and well-organized accumulation of one collector’s obvious love of this British European island colony. From classics to 2020(!), in quantities of up to 20 of a type. As you would expect, much is common, but there are items up to $10.00 catalogue value (or more) scattered throughout (#222, #261), with a touch of semi-postal, air mail, postage due (#J17) and war tax issues. Besides everyone’s favourite early issues, the modern material is extensive and may be harder to compile - and it all appears to be postally used. This collector had an eye for town cancels and these are everywhere. All stamps are identified and all but the last few pages of regular issues are catalogued by Scott (2012). All housed on 46 manila stockpages in a bulging binder! At least 2500 stamps here. Estimate =
