1d "Jan van Riebeek's Ship" study. Semi-completed, massive study of the 1926 to 1943 issue 1d carmine and black "Jan van Riebeek's Ship" definitive, mounted on pages, in bundles and loose (thousands in total). The lot includes the extremely detailed specialist handbook "The Ship Penny of South Africa" by Gordon Ward as well as photocopies of articles on the subject. The stamps are mostly used but noted some large mint multiples and the lot includes a large number of plated and annotated stamps, intact auction purchases not yet incorporated into the study, plus as a bonus, a study of the 1926 issue Cape Triangle reprint from South Africa (#21-22) and SWA (#81, 82 & 83). Here's a marvelous chance to continue a specialized study of a very popular issue with all the tools needed to facilitate the job. Estimate
