COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS — British
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
Lots 1207-1214 are a working stock from across the Commonwealth on overflowing manila stockpages grouped into 16 assorted stockbooks. They include both used and mint in Scott order through all reigns, starting alphabetically by colony, but ending in unfathomable groupings. Duplication sometimes runs to too many during the mid 20th century so crammed stacks of stamps may burst off the pages. Still a very useful stock for filling orders that merits cautious viewing.
