Description
An extensive collection of postage stamps housed within multiple albums, stock books, and presentation packs, primarily comprising issues from the United Kingdom and various British Commonwealth territories dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The lot contains a diverse array of mint never hinged commemorative sets, miniature sheets, and used definitive issues. Notable inclusions feature the UK 1990 Penny Black Anniversary miniature sheet, the 1990 RSPCA 150th Anniversary set, and the 1991 Sport set. British Commonwealth representation is significant, featuring issues from North Borneo, Mauritius, Seychelles, Singapore, Brunei, and Niue. Higher denomination definitives are present, including a North Borneo 10 dollar issue. The collection encompasses various thematic subjects such as natural history, sporting events, regional landmarks, and royal portraits. Presentation formats include souvenir packs, such as the England Winners World Champions issue, and London 1980 International Stamp Exhibition sheets. The stamps are primarily perforated issues.
The stock sheets measure approximately 20 cm in width.
Condition report:
The collection displays a range of conditions consistent with a mixed assembly. Commemorative sets and miniature sheets are largely mint never hinged with original gum. Used examples predominantly feature circular date stamp cancellations, ranging from light to medium strikes. Perforations appear generally intact across the main sets. The items are housed in professional stock books and albums, which show minor signs of external handling wear. Some evidence of toning or foxing may be present on the edges of earlier stock pages or individual used stamps.
