1000*oFrench colonies extensive mint and/or used collection nicely filling six 1960’s vintage Scott Specialty albums. Four include French Africa “A-U” and two include other colonies “C-W”, generally from the early overprints into the 1960’s. Most pages are full with one or more often NH stamps in each space, plus additional ones in the margins, on added pages, or between the pages. We noted mostly complete sets, with varieties, souvenir sheets, forgeries, and expertized stamps as we browsed this colorful collection, made all the more valuable by stamps not easily visible.Cat.
