Mint and used collection on quadrilled pages in a near-new green "Simplex" springback binder with stamps up to the end of the King George VI era. There is a homemade tribute to the Penny Black on its Centenary, with a nice zero-margin copy of #1 with a red Maltese cancel. The first section of the album is the mint material, a bit sparse, but with 10 values from the Queen Victoria "Jubilee" issue up to the 1/-, looking fresh. The larger section is the used. QV includes some "Penny Reds", definitives to 5/- (a few are damaged or could use a soaking/pressing). For King Edward VII, it looks like an attempt was made at a shade study (with individual stamps to 10/-). King George V and VI includes more shades, several "Seahorses" to 10/-. The potential bonus to this lot is that the collector tucked a number of stamps into the folds of the album, which includes some better, but is generally unchecked by us. A few hundred stamps here, lots of catalogue value, with some potential for the specialist. Estimate =
