Lot 288
 /o
British Empire collection, several thousand stamps mainly pre-1903 stamps in a Stanley Gibbons Imperial album, by far the strongest country is Great Britain, which is loaded with better stamps from two Penny Blacks through plate number varieties of the 1p #33 and the surface printed issues, we note £1 #124 and 142 among other goodies. The colonies are not quite as strong, though Hong Kong is well represented and throughout the collector managed to acquire some especially nice cancels and unusual used multiples. the album is not in good condition, but the stamps are much better than those usually found in collections of this vintage; truly a premium collection.
