1865 - 1952 AWESOME OLD SPECIALIZED COLLECTION. A single album with linen- hinged pages displaying a chiefly mint collection often containing several examples of the same stamp (the shade ranges interesting in themselves). Begins with the 1865 perf 14 with 1d rose- reds (2), 1d pale roses (2), 2d dull blues (2), 6d (3), perf 14x12½ 6d (6) & 1s (5), also a page of used examples (which catalogue around £1000), 1883-04 issue with several complete sets incl 1d reds (7, various shades), 2d blues (3), 1s browns (7, various shades) and onwards with comprehensive ranges of the KEVII & KGV definitive issues, we also note a highly specialized study of the 1938-52 pictorials identified by printings, shades, plate & imprint blocks, booklet panes etc; certainly the most impressive portion of the collection is the 1938-58 high value "Large Key Types" rich in beautiful perf 14 & perf 13 items with many plate blocks & pairs, also many margin positional singles & multiples from the earlier to latest printings, includes the 2s purple and blues x74 stamps (54 mint, 20 used) with 7 corner blocks 4; 2s6d black and reds x29 stamps (23 mint, 6 used) incl 2 corner blocks & other margin positional stamps with better such as the line perf 14½ (SG 117a, vf mint); 5s green and reds x31 stamps (27 mint, 4 used) incl 3 blocks 4; 10s green and reds x37 mint stamps including 3 corner plate blocks 4; 12s6d grey and orange x24 mint stamps including sheet margin block 4 SG 120c (stamps never hinged), two plate number corner pairs (including SG 120a, one stamp hinged) plus much else; £1 purples and blacks x22 mint stamps starting with 1938 SG 121 never hinged, corner block 4, 2 plate number corner pairs etc, the perf 13's include four 'bright violets' with a corner positional. An amazing, exhaustive collection which does not include the 1918-1921 Large Key Types or Commemorative but otherwise simply crammed with fresh & attractive stamps. Highly recommended (approx 850 stamps) For more images, please visit https://www.sandafayre.com/itemdetails.aspx?s=621512
