Egypt # 48/1510 plus Back of the Book

Bundleware by the hundreds, covering just over a century of Egyptian philately (1889-1993). Most are well wrapped up (with its Scott number), like a mummy, but a small number have split, which has allowed us to see that there are lots of readable cancels throughout. Most are more common, as you would expect, with up to 15 bundles (of 100 stamps) of a particular issue, but we did see better such as 5 bundles (500 stamps) of the £1 King Farouk (#240, catalogues $7.00 per stamp, total $3500.00!!!). While there are some airmail and official bundles, there is also a grouping of revenue stamps in glassine envelopes, circa 1950-1976, which we will leave you to research. Contained in several smaller boxes, this group occupies most of a bankers box, so potential and value are everywhere! Estimate =
