Classic KA-BE UBERSEE ALBUM No. 2. British Empire "N-Z" volume. An overseas album (i.e. has no continental Europe) with approximately 300 pages, containing thousands of mint and used stamps from 55+ countries, colonies, dependencies, etc. The time period generally runs from 1851 to 1938, with a few runs of stamps ending by 1948. This second album contains mostly British Empire issues, alphabetically from New Guinea to Zululand, plus pages with issues from fifteen Spanish, Danish, Netherlands and Belgian colonies. Of particular note is material from New Zealand, New South Wales, Rhodesia, Straits Settlements, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Danish West Indies and Belgian Congo. A truly representative and entertaining group for the Classic worldwide collector. Expect some faults in the mix, considering that this is an old-time original holding. Excellent basis for expansion without having to worry about modern frivolous issues. The album itself is of high quality and in very nice condition. Four more similar albums, covering the remaining stamp-issuing countries to follow in subsequent auctions. Consignor's 2019 Scott US$9,155.90=
