South Africa / Precursors and Area

An old-time dealer’s stock on "102" cards which fill about 2/3 of a matching "red dealer’s box". The biggest section is South Africa with a number of mint and used pairs (and some singles) of the 1927-1954 pictorial issue, with individual items with up to about $50.00 catalogue value (by 2024 Scott) and then a mix of issues into the early 1990’s. The South West Africa is a little smaller and tamer, the best being some used pairs of overprinted postage dues. There is some forerunner material, from Cape of Good Hope, Transvaal, British South Africa (with a touch of more northern colonies, Rhodesia, etc.) and some more modern material from Ciskie and Bophuthatswana, There are several hundred cards here and the catalogue value is substantial. Most are well organized, with Scott numbers and older catalogue values, but some of them are unprocessed. Estimate =
