Lot 3184
Portugal & Colonies, Large Postal History Cover & Card Accumulation, 1890-1970's, over 1500 covers housed in three boxes with material from the 1890's to the 1970's with a few later. About half of the lot is Portugal and the rest is mostly Mozambique, Angola and other Colonies. Both the Portugal and Colonies include some early postal stationery cards, Registered, multiples, Airmails, Censored and a large handful of postcards with Mouchon and Cérès frankings. A large part of the Portuguese Colonies is made up of modestly duplicated cacheted First Day Covers and First Flights from the 1950-1970 period. Some of these are faulty. Much of the Portugal is addressed to Lourenço Marques and the majority of the non-philatelic Mozambique and Angola covers are addressed to Denmark and have multiple stamps, many of Topical interest. Also, an assortment of incoming mail to Mozambique. Generally Fine to Very Fine with some early cover fronts, an occasional off quality item as is typical for most accumulations. Worth a look.Estimate $2,000 - 3,000.
