Attractive page of mint early Cook Islands issues, with a good offering of Queen Makea Takau and Torea (the bird design) with some New Zealand King George V overprints and finishing with singles from various "Cook" issues. Includes better singles such as #24, 25, 44 with overprints, watermark and perforation variants. Better appearance than normally seen with no tropical toning. Backs are in typical condition with a mix of hinging, a few with hinge remnants. Two bonus items include a proof single of the Rarotongan Chief vignette and an imperforate 1d Cook, not counted in the total catalogue value. 2024 Scott US$734.70 =
