7 Welcome & Introduction Welcome to this catalogue for our sale number 61. This auction includes a good number of box lots, several being from one time vendors and from non collector sources.

A number of interesting GB commemorative covers plus ranges of FDC s and a number of India FDC s somewhere. Perhaps 40% of this box is GB related the rest is across the globe with many thousands of stamps. This will sell B Purple ebay box filled with cheap material in the main. Noted a large carrier bag (must weigh over a kilo) with GVI and GV GB definitives on and off paper with much potential for postmarks plus watermark varieties (we estimate minimum stamps and possibly multiples of this); A number of India covers of the 1970 s, a few Canada covers and a number of GB covers of the 1960 s with commercial slogans, very nice as most are genuine commercial mail with many slogans seen. Also a Childs collection in a Transworld album B Purple ebay carton crammed with stamps, in bags, loose and also in this box a small quantity of pages and a few small albums. Plenty of interesting GB covers including GV and GVI commercial mail and somewhere we spotted an 1890 stamp jubilee envelope unused. Decent lot with finds to be had we think 1 59 B Purple ebay carton with literally thousands of stamps in packets, envelopes, carrier bags and loose. Much is kiloware from various countries, some GB but noted an envelope of Cyprus which looks reasonable plus other worldwide. At the bottom we found an interesting range of GB commemorative covers with interesting postmarks and designs plus there is a combined sweat box / watermark detection tray somewhere in the mix! Low start, weighty box! 1 60 E Purple ebay carton with many thousands of stamps. Lots of small packets with loose stamps but also some pages and a couple of albums in this one as well as other envelopes.

Stamps are ½d and 6d George V profile head definitive issues. Interesting items B Small box with 80+ stock cards of British Commonwealth mint and used items. Mostly QV to GVI with the odd QEII seen only. Sets, singles, some identified and catalogued, others without notation. A real mix that will repay careful checking and sorting for either collector or dealer. Well worth 1+ per card in our opinion B Small box with four 2 ring binder albums of British Commonwealth, Queen Victoria to QEII, mint and used with better pickings noted throughout. Definitely needs to be viewed to be appreciated. Must be well over 1,000 stamps here B Small carton of Commonwealth covers. 169 items almost all are FDC s from several countries dating between 1950 and circa covers are from Great Britain which includes some high value ones. 38 covers from NZ, 25 Irish covers period and 12 Cyprus ( Other countries include Australia, IOM, Canada and Malta.

16 67 B Small carton with over 1,000 stamps from across the globe, little or no GB seen. Many pages taken from old club books a few stock cards with better items plus some loose and in packets etc. There are better items here and we think quite a good box that might well fly in the auction room - definitely one for your viewing list B Small carton with over 100 pieces of postal history / postal stationery. The vast majority is pre 1920 with much 19th century. Circa 80% is GB with 1d reds etc on envelopes and Victorian postcards etc. Excellent lot and must be cheap at around 75p per item reserve E Small envelope with a quantity of largely pre 1950 material of primarily India / Bahawalpur interest includes a few Portuguese India as well. Mint and used, probably 250+ stamps with minimal duplication. Interesting sorter with chance of a find or two B Solid wooden box with many hundreds of FDC s of South African and Zimbabwean origin plus some GB, many still in the envelopes as supplied originally by the relevant postal authorities. One or two items noted from outside of these areas plus some mint stamps noted here and there in envelopes, mostly thematic and some in blocks from the same areas. Well worth exploring! 1 71 A TUNISIA 1900s-70s 62 multi-franked cards & covers in black binder with a wide range of stamps and postmarks inc. Airs and in fair to good condition. Seldom offered E US PACIFIC ISLES Palau, Marshall Isles, Micronesia. Unusual selection of 37 booklets (cost $85).

Mainly fine mint from s +other QEII material in green binder + Crete B Walkers Snacks box with a few albums of CI / IOM covers and then a quantity (perhaps 50 or so) old album pages with various Commonwealth stamps on, quite a good mix, with better items seen and well worth looking, cheap start but we think this may go for quite a good price. Definitely one to be viewed B White box with carry handles containing various stamps on pages and in envelope. Also includes 2 catalogues, Stoneham GB and Stanley Gibbons Part 1, British Commonwealth catalogue 2017 edition, the latter is easily worth 25 on it s own we think. ACCESSORIES 76 B Box of empty albums etc, over a dozen, includes at least 7 empty spring back binders of various types. All second hand plus a 32 page stock book etc. Vendor clearing out so 1 77 B Carton of a dozen or so albums and spring back binders (empty) includes one Rapkin binder, this is the very expensive padded leather, gold tooled one that are horrendously priced new. All second hand, mixed condition but useable for someone. All for 1 78 B Carton with 12 albums, 8 are various FDC albums with mixed pages, four are Postcard albums for PHQ cards or similar. Vendor wants to sell and if you have lots of FDC s to find a home for cheaply, this is the lot for you.
