COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS — British
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
1048**(CD312) NH blocks, Coronation complete including the different designs, F-VF.Cat. Value: $687.20
Price Realized: $140.00
1049**A gorgeous collection of several hundred different in mounts on quadrille pages. Looks to be essentially complete from 1952-1957 with most if not all complete sets (should be all NH). Sometimes the sets are arranged on a couple pages plus there is a scattering of Stanley Gibbons listed items. The down side is that the mounts are attached to the pages with scotch tape which is beginning to discolor the middle of gum side on some but still the faces of the stamps are bright, fresh, F-VF or better appearing so remounting is a must.Cat. Value: S.B. 4,000.00
Price Realized: $2,700.00
1050*Accumulation from the Empire in six albums, auction remainders and a pizza box loaded with glassines. Spotted better New Zealand, Australia and British Africa. You will find good value all the way through. It is from a good time period.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,200.00
Price Realized: $2,000.00
1051*A few thousand different neatly arranged and identified on black stockpages and filling eight Lighthouse binders with slipcases. Mostly Kings through QEII with emphasis on KGVI and early QEII. Looks to be all complete sets with much NH and F-VF or better throughout.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,200.00
Price Realized: $2,500.00
1052*An old investment holding of several thousand arranged in aging glassines. Mainly complete sets with much NH of primarily 1950’s to early 1960’s issues. Duplication, which sometimes is a bit high. Australia, New Zealand and Ireland are the most numerous but many other colonies are of value. Great for someone who does lists.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,100.00
Price Realized: $2,200.00
1053*oAround 90 different higher cataloging 19th century issues. All different from a wide variety of colonies. Generally Fine or better appearing but some faults are sure to be present and the catalog is the owner’s which surely needs some discounting for unintentional counting of fiscal cancels, fakes or misidentification. Still much useful value.Cat. Value: 2008 cat. 46,000.00
Price Realized: $4,250.00
1054*oCollection in three specialty albums with several hundred stamps going into the 1960’s. Many mint NH sets throughout. Good Falkland Islands, Bahamas, Fiji, British Honduras and more to search for. Worth a good look.Cat. Value: cat. 8,900.00

Price Realized: $550.00
