Useful and valuable THREE volume (Minkus style 2-post) collection consisting of GB Regionals plus Heligoland, British Africa (Ascension to Rhodesia and Nyasaland) and British Europe. The details are: a scattered collection of GB Regionals including Guernsey, Isle of Man, and Jersey plus a page of Heligoland. The one page of Heligoland appears to be basically complete but whether they are originals or reprints is for you to determine. This factor has been taken to account for the estimate. The British Africa volume consists of: Basutoland, Bechuanaland, British Central Africa, British East Africa, Cape of Good Hope, East Africa and Uganda Protectorates, Ghana, Gold Coast, Kenya, KUT, Natal, Niger Coast Protectorate, Nigeria, Northern Nigeria, Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, Orange River Colony, Rhodesia, and lastly Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Strength was noted in Cape of Good Hope (lots of triangles), Gold Coast, KUT, and some of the early Rhodesia. Excellent basis for expansion with lots of useful items. Finally, the British Europe: Several hundred mint and used stamps all laid out on nicely designed album pages, a good start to collection of each of the following countries: Cyprus, Gibraltar, and Malta. While nothing of particularly high value was noted, there are plenty of decent medium value sets and better singles in the group. Estimate
