We note excellent South America with many varieties and mainly purchased from a knowledgeable specialist dealer, Good European sections often with complete Booklets. Trucial States with good earlier issues, British Empire with some early material and a huge amount of new issues from early QEII up to the 1990's. The overall face value alone is many thousands of dollars in this massive collection. This lot is so large that we did not have time to scan all the better items. The collector reused many sales pages so that the Scott value is often too low or 30 years out of date and many additional highlights will be discovered that eluded us. A perfect lot for online sales or to augment your Worldwide Collection. Condition is exceptional with very few faults and most all is in Fine to Very Fine or better, o.g. or n.h. quality., ex-Windsor.
Estimate $25,000 - 35,000.
