VF mint NH upper left plate block of the 43c se-tenant 1994 XV Commonwealth Games commemorative with the VERY RARE "SILVER INK" variety of the "CANADA 43" on all stamps as well as in the "traffic lights" in upper left selvedge.

104 Canada #1699. Investment lot of twenty VF mint NH 1998 issue 46c ATM panes of 18.

105 Canada #2110i. VF mint NH example of the rare Unitrade catalogue recognized perforation variety of the original 2005 issue "Homer Watson" souvenir sheet. The perforations that usually extend to the sheet edge above and below the stamps on the common sheet stop at the upper and lower stamp edge in this rare variety. Verified and newly listed in the 2020 Unitrade catalogue (fifteen years after the original issue date!) with extremely few examples coming to market in this time. An exceptional chance to grab what could easily become a frighteningly rare perforation variety. Note that a sheet recently sold for $550.00 in an unreserved auction! Estimate $400.00 $180.00

A top quality group. 2022 Scott US$255.30= $319.30 $65.00
198 France #64/240. Almost all used collection of 88 different stamps, 1876 to 1927 period issues. The collection begins with the "Peace and Commerce" (Type Sage) issues, up through the "Liberty and Peace" material, then through the "Rights of Man", "Sowers" and "Pasteur" designs. Generally sound and Fine, but expect the odd fault. Owner's 2021 Scott US$1,741.80= $2,177.25 $180.00
199 France #B301a, B309a. VF mint NH intact 1955-56 issue Red Cross semi-postal booklets with pane of 10 and gutter pane of 8, respectively. The 15fr + 5fr 'Child with Goose' is the key Red Cross booklet and is quite hard to find. Note that the Scott catalogue values the 1956 issue as a pane only. 2022 Scott US$340= $425.00 $75.00
200 France #Q3/Q214. Extensive all mint H/NH high quality collection of Parcel Post (Colis Postaux) stamps, 1892 to 1945 period issues. All in black mounts on the original cut down printed album pages (makes identification easy). 178 different stamps total, priced per page by the owner. Owner's 2020 Scott US$2,939.00= $3,673.75 $550.00
201 France - 52 early mint hinged including #118, 121-125, 127-130, set #156-184, set 185-196, 294. VG-VF centred, some have hinge gum thins but most look like sound examples. Seldom see these mint! 2022 Scott US$ 675.00= $843.75 $80.00
202 France - 63 different very early issues used, 1849 - 1898, mounted on album pages in hingeless mounts. Look to be nice condition, and the high value imperforate Ceres heads have nice margins. Identified by owner, with owner’s 2022 Scott US$ 1796.00= $2,245.00 $200.00
203 France - Air Mail Exposition Cinderellas. Exceptional group of "La Poste Aerienne" labels and imperf label trial colour proofs issued in conjunction with the 1943 Paris Philatelic Exposition. The lot consists of gummed and perforated panes of four labels in four different colours (black, claret, blue green and blue) with matching colour imperforate panes of four. A cover with the commemorative show cancel and label affixed also accompanies. The aircraft depicted on the labels (and cancel) is most certainly a French manufacture Caudron C445 Goeland twin engined utility aircraft and the view of Paris depicted on the labels is nearly identical the view on #C22, the 1947 issue 500fr French air mail stamp! Attending a stamp show in Paris during the WWII German occupation must have been an odd experience, to say the least. Note: production of the C445 resumed after the war. All in all this is a great lot for the aerophilatelist, stamp exposition ephemera collector or WWII enthusiast. Well worth further research. Estimate= $200.00 $55.00
204 France - Gros Chiffres and Petits Chiffres Cancel Collection/Accumulation of classic French issues, all acquired for the "Gros Chiffres" or "Petit Chiffres" numeral cancels. The lot consists of over 425 stamps in glassines, sorted by GC or PC numbers, 340 stamps with GC/PC cancels in a stock book, and another 300 stamps with GC/PC cancels on home made album pages. All valued by the owner using Scott catalogue only. While faults can be expected in a lot of this type, better cancels will certainly be lurking in the mix. Owner's 2020 Scott US$4,189.00= $5,236.25 $180.00
205 France - Mint semi-postal collection of 288 different between 1927 and 1957, only missing a very few! Mounted on hingeless album pages, but most are hinged. A spectacular collection of seldom seen semi-postals, nearly complete for the period. Each stamp not inspected, so could be the minor gum fault, but did notice some NH upon a random check. Big catalogue value here represents their scarcity. 2022 Scott US$ 1812.00 = $2,265.00 $325.00
206 French Polynesia #560-562. VF mint NH complete gutter panes of ten of the 1991 issue high value "18th Century Scenes" set of three. The key 68fr value is very scarce. 2022 Scott US$530.00= $662.50 $85.00
207 French Polynesia #C37, C54, C88. Archivally fresh and VF pristine mint NH trio of high value air mails, consisting of the 1965 World Championships of Underwater Fishing 50 franc, the 1969 Napoleon Bicentenary 100 franc and the 1972 de Gaulle 100 franc. Popular issues from a popular archipelago. 2022 Scott US$232.50= $290.63 $90.00
208 French Southern and Antarctic Territories #21, 23-24, 29, 30, 33, 35, 45, 52-53, 57. Choice quality fresh and VF mint NH selection of 11 different 1961 to 1974 period issues, consisting of all complete commemorative sets or singles. This lot and the following three FSAT lots are from the estate of a "new issue" collector who stashed their purchases away as soon as they were received and stored them under ideal conditions. An extremely prettyassemblage! 2022 Scott US$367.50= $459.38 $110.00
209 French Southern and Antarctic Territories #25-28 27A. Archivally fresh and pristine mint NH 1966-1969 issue "Flora and Fauna" set of five. The key 20fr "Black-browed Albatross" high value is particularly nice. 2022 Scott US$357.50= $446.88 $160.00
210 French Southern and Antarctic Territories #C6, C12, C16a, C17.. Choice quality fresh and VF mint NH quartet of 1963 to 1969 period airmail issues, consisting of three high value single issues and one triptych. The key 100fr "International Sun Year" high value is as bright as the day it was printed in 1963! 2022 Scott US$227.50= $284.38 $95.00
211 French Southern and Antarctic Territories #C13-C14. Vibrantly fresh and VF mint NH 1968-1969 issue airmail set of two, consisting of the 40fr "Aerial View of St. Paul Island" and the 50fr "Port aux Francais, Emperor Penguin and Explorer". Carefully stored since they were "new issues".2022 Scott US$217.50= $271.88 $95.00
212 Ghana #41a/698. All VF mint and almost all NH selection of 32 different 1959 to 1979 period souvenir sheets. While stamps from this period are relatively easy to find, the souvenir sheets are surprisingly elusive. Can't have a modern formerly British Africa collection without the sheets! Great topicals also. See the inventory list for full details. 2021 Scott US$110.10= $137.62 $46.00
213 Gibraltar #1/131. Mint Hinged and used 1886 to 1953 period collection of 40 different stamps, all still mounted on the original Scott album pages. Not many complete sets but a few better high values noted. 2021 Scott US$341.20= $426.50 $60.00
214 Gibraltar #132/218, J1-J3, MR1. Fresh and VF mint H/NH 1953 to 1968 early QEII period collection (plus the 1918 issue GeoV War Tax stamp) of 89 different stamps, all complete sets (except for one missing stamp, #183 @ 50c) and all still mounted on the original printed album pages. A very clean and comprehensive offering! 2021 Scott US$273.00= $341.25 $42.00
215 Great Britain #1, 1a. Used examples of the black and intense black shades of the 1840 issue "Penny Black". The #1 has a red Maltese Cross cancel, a light horizontal crease and small nick at left, the #1a has a black Maltese Cross cancel and a light crease at bottom. Unchecked for plate numbers. Still a nice looking shade duo. 2021 Scott Classic US$900.00= $1,125.00 $170.00
216 Great Britain #4. On Cover. Sound and F/VF example of the 1841 issue 2 Penny Blue, single franking on December 1st 1848 folded cover, Limerick to Glasgow. Valued by Scott Classic catalogue for single stamp on cover. 2021 Scott Classic US$325.00= $406.25 $65.00
217 Great Britain #5. VF looking used example of the 1847 issue 1sh pale green embossed imperf with vertical silk threads. Margins well clear on all sides. Small thins and some splitting along the vertical silk security thread do not detract from the much nicer than usual appearance of this difficult early high value imperf. 2022 Scott US$1,000.00= $1,250.00 $75.00
218 Great Britain #9/126. All used collection of 72 different Victorian era stamps (1841-1900 period issues), all laid out on two Hagner brand stock sheets with each stamp individually identified and valued. Generally in sound and F/VF condition (but the odd fault can be expected), this group will fill over half the spaces in the pre-1900 section of your GB album. Unchecked for cancels or varieties, offered as received. Owner's 2020 Scott US$6,630.00= $8,287.50 $325.00
219 Great Britain #34/82 on Cover. Clean and high quality group of nine different 1860s to 1880s period covers/folded letters, all addressed to France, either to Paris or Nice. The single frankings include Scott #34, 61 (plates 12, 13 and 15), 62 (plate 13), 67 (plates 3 and 5) and 82 (plates 22 and 23). All valued as stamps on cover by Scott Classic. 2021 Scott Classic US$780.00= $975.00 $70.00
220 Great Britain #57. Well centered used example of the 1867 5 shilling rose QV high value, plate 1, watermark 26 (Maltese Cross). Scott footnotes add a 50% premium for margins clear of design on all 4 sides. Light pressed out corner crease at lower right noted for accuracy. 2022 Scott US $900 = $1,125.00 $70.00
221 Great Britain #57 Plate #2. Fine used example of the scarcer plate #2 type of the 1867 issue 5sh rose large format Queen Victoria, watermark 26 (Maltese Cross). Average centering, light surface scuff below the "H" of "SHILLING" Noted for the record. Missing from most collections we see. 2022 Scott US$1,200.00= $1,500.00 $70.00
222 Great Britain #92. VF appearing used example of the extremely rare 1882 issue ONE POUND Victoria high value, brown lilac on bluish paper, watermark 31 (anchor). The stamp originally had a commercial perfin ("HSB" running vertically at left) that has been expertly filled in. Scott footnotes add a 25% premium for margins clear of design on all sides as well as a 50% premium for a clear circular datestamp. Missing from most collections in any condition. 2022 Scott US$17,500 = $21,875.00 $1,025.00
223 Great Britain #169a. F/VF mint NH sheet margin block of the 1917 printing of the GeoV 8p Black on buff "granite" paper. Listed in SG Concise as #391 @ £60.00 each (= £240.00 for the block = $408.00 CDN). 2021 Scott Classic for NH US$250.00= $312.50 $55.00
224 Great Britain #176. Well centered and lightly "Sock on the Nose" CDS cancelled used example of the 1912 issue £1 green KGV "Seahorse" high value. Decent colour, good perfs all around. A rare stamp, missing from most GB collections we see. 2022 Scott US$1,400.00= $1,750.00 $600.00
225 Great Britain - #1 to Recent. A Meaty Remaindered Collection in 2 Volumes. The balance of a substantial mostly used GB collection of hundreds with lots of prime meat still left on the bones. The lot begins with a used #1 and while there are not many pound values present, the sets often contain the 10sh values. Lots of Victorian era high values noted in the mix. Some faults to be expected in an offering of this type but it has not been checked for better cancels, plates or varieties. The total catalogue value will be in the thousands. Estimate= $750.00 $525.00
226 Great Britain - Box Lot Bonanza. Smallish carton packed with modern GB material, including several dozen FDCs (SG Concise cat over £200.00), over £30.00 mint face value (mostly £3 Wedgwood booklets), a quantity of PHQ cards, the balance of a used Machin collection and sundry other items. Estimate = $120.00 $80.00
227 Great Britain - Offices in the Turkish Empire #55-64. Almost all mint Hinged (#63 is used) complete set of 1921 issue 30pa to 180pi overprints on ½p to 10sh GeoV issues of GB. This is the last overprinted set issued. 2022 Scott US$122.85= $153.56 $28.00
228 Greece #RA40. Sound used example of the 1917 "Corfu" Postal Tax issue 20 lepta surcharge on 50 lepta blue. Scott notes that "counterfeits exist, used". Mint examples of this stamp catalogue higher. Sold "as is". 2021 Scott US$1,075.00= $1,343.75 $24.00
229 Guyana #24/309. All VF mint NH selection of 222 almost all different 1966 to 1979 period stamps and one miniature pane. Great topicals. Not missing much to be a complete run. 2022 Scott US$144.30= $180.38 $42.00
230 Hong Kong #8/116 Plus "Back of the Book". Collection of 46 almost all used 1863 to 1914 period postal issues plus another 9 revenues/non-Scott listed items. All still Hinged on the original album pages. Some small faults to be expected in an original "old-time" group such as this but unchecked for better cancels or other varieties, with only the Scott listed items valued. Consignor's 2021 Scott US$482.30= $602.88 $110.00
231 Hong Kong #8/69. Almost all used selection of 42 mostly different 1863 to 1898 period issues, all laid out and identified by the consignor on one Hagner brand stock sheet. Seven obviously faulty stamps have been identified but not valued in the total. Very decent range of treaty port and other better cancels noted in the mix, but the entire lot is valued by basic Scott catalogue. The revenues are unpriced. Owner's 2019 Scott US$913.00= $1,141.25 $160.00
232 Hong Kong #275-288, 388-403. Two choice quality QEII long high value definitive sets, both VF mint NH and Post Office fresh. The lot consists of the 1973 issue set of 14 and the 1982 set of 16. Carefully stored since they were issued, these stamps will make welcome additions to any modern British Commonwealth or Elizabethan collection. 2022 Scott US$193.55= $241.94 $85.00
233 Iceland #5/201, C3, O16, O24, O35. Fifty-two stamps from the 1873-1937 period in used or MH condition. Note that the #5 (catalogue US$1,450.00) has been carefully scrutinized (by the consignor) and appears to be properly printed, with correct perf gauge and the usual irregular perfs, with offset centering typical of the issue. However, the paper is heavier and off-colour, with no watermark than that normally associated with the issue. It is quite possible that this is a genuine anomaly but would take much more research to confirm. Consequently, we offer it as is and have not included any value for it in our totals. Apart from this the best stamps in the lot are #10, 12, 15, 74 (mint), and C3. Owner's 2019 Scott US$450.75= $563.44 $120.00
234 Iceland #152-162, 195-201, 203-216, 236, 246-252.. Gorgeous selection of all mint H/NH 1930 to 1948 period issues. The 1930 "Millenary" issues go up to the 40a value but the rest of the lot is all top quality complete sets. 2022 Scott US$474.25= $592.81 $120.00
235 Indian States: Soruth #O19. "On piece" used example of the 1 Anna on ½ Anna dark blue and black "Gir Lion" with manuscript "SARKARI" ("SERVICE" in Gujarati) in carmine, cancelled with the proper "UNA - SEP 18 '49" CDS cancel. 2021 Scott Classic US$225.00= $281.25 $85.00
236 Iraq #221, 224. Unissued (unoverprinted). Mint NH 1957-1958 unissued 40 fils orange brown and 100 fils orange King Faisal II designs (Scott design type A33). These two stamps are lacking the 2-line "Republic" overprints in Arabic. The consignor notes that they estimate that there are fewer than 200 examples of each in existence. Estimate = $120.00 $36.00
237 Ireland #15-18, 47-150, 161-168, J14.. Clean and all NH selection of 17 different stamps, ranging from 1922 overprints up to 1950s commemorative sets, plus one solitary postage due. 2022 Scott US$269.30= $336.62 $60.00
238 Israel #1a/1215, C1/C47, J6/J20, O1.. Mint and used organized duplicated stock/accumulation of 1000s, all laid out on manila stock sheets. Some with tabs.

239 Israel #31-32 VARIETIES, 32b. Post Office fresh and VF mint NH 1950 UPU commemoratives in a tete-beche full set consisting of a tete-beche se-tenant pair of the 40p and 80p values plus tete-beche cross-gutter pairs of each value.

243 Italy #27. Sound and Fine (small) part OG Hinged example of the 1863 issue 10c buff Victor Emmanuel definitive. A very rare stamp in mint condition (and may even be the better de la Rue printing).2021 Scott US$3,100.00= $3,875.00 $260.00
244 Italy #47. Fresh and Fine mint full never hinged original gum example of the rare 1879 twenty centesimi orange King Humbert I issue.

250 Italy - Saseno #1-8. Sound, fresh and Fine mint Hinged complete run of all eight 1923 overprinted Italian issues, slated for use on the Albanian islet occupied by the Italians between 1914 and 1947. Don't think we've handled this set before. 2021 Scott US$260.00= $325.00 $65.00
251 Laos #25-26, C1. Fresh and VF MNH complete 2pi, 3pi and 50pi "Laotian Temples" regular and airmail stamp set of three. 2022 Scott US$175.00= $218.75 $38.00

253 Mauritius - Collection of 498 different postally used KGVI to 2014 stamps sorted on stock pages. F-VF. Includes high values. Lots of good stamps here, sure to fill a few holes in any Mauritius collection. 2022 Scott US$ 614.00 = $767.50 $140.00
254 Netherlands Colonies - Netherlands Colonies Collection on Minkus Pages. Very helpfully filled Minkus album with pages to around 1970. The colonies represented are Netherlands Antilles - Curacao, Netherlands Indies, early Indonesia, Netherlands New Guinea and Surinam. While none of these individual collections are by any means complete, there are better sets and singles throughout. A nice thing about this lot is that it covers what I consider to be the interesting historical period of these colonies. Hundreds of different stamps, probably with a pretty decent catalogue value total. Estimate = $200.00 $240.00
255 Netherlands Antilles #1/365,B1/B133,C1/C45,CB13/CB36,J11/J57. Mint H/NH and used collection of 578 different stamps and 3 souvenir sheets, ranging for the first issues of 1873 up to 1974.
