Great Britain Collection, valuable collection from 1840 to the mid-1970s in a 5-volume Safe "dual" hingeless album (pages go to 1994). 1840 issues comprise a 1d Mulready envelope, three Penny Blacks and two 2d Blues and the collection continues similarly right through the KGV issues with nearly every space filled. Included are the following used high values: 1867 5s rose plate 2, 1878 10s slate, 1882-83 £1 brown lilac on white, 1883 £5 orange, 1884 £1 watermarked crowns (3), 1888 £1 watermarked orbs, 1891 £1 green, 1902 £1 KEVII (2) and 1913 £1 seahorse; also included are a mint £1 seahorse and a mint £1 P.U.C. And, included along with all these high values are all the expected mid-value stamps in the $100-$500 range with additional duplicates, a variety of plate numbers and even a couple Specimen overprints. Condition is rather mixed, especially on the QV issues, but there are lots of Fine to Very Fine stamps, even among the higher values. An excellent lot and one worthy of careful examination.
