Description
1840-1960, The stamp addict’s dream. This lot and the 14 lots that follow have been assembled from the mountainous hoard of a true stamp addict who just couldn’t stop buying stamps until he ran out of money a while ago and decided to “kick the habit and let somebody else go crazy over his stamps”. These dream lots represent better stamps selected from this seemingly endless holding of lots and collections. They are put into broad categories with rather sparse descriptions as they were consigned at the 11th hour. What they have in common is that they are pretty much “all wheat and no chaff”, most in £50-1’000 range and are ideal for internet or mail sale, often with a good lot of identification work already done. We expect these lots would attract the attention off some of our man’s fellow stamp addicts, so thorough viewing is recommended. This first lot is primarily mint with focus on later 19th century through the 1950’s. Among the many many highlights, we note an impressive section of British Honduras with good sets to $5 values good overprints, etc. Good specimens including 6d Jamaica unissued slave market. Hong Kong QV Jubilee short U variety and much much more
