This is a lovely collection in a well filled Volume 1 Davo album. Starting with a 4 margin penny black (small tear at top) and 3½ margin 1840 2d blue, the collection continues with high value QV and Kings stamps (mainly used to QEII). There are a good number of penny red plates with numbers up to 107 complete (less 77 of course) and other higher catalogued later plates. There is nice a nice cut to square 6d embossed and very good basic representation of early surface printed issues with 1855-57, 1862, 1865 and 1867-80 mostly complete except for a couple of stamps. Of particular note are the 1867-83 5/- stamps – a plate 1 wmk Maltese Cross and plate 4 wmk Large Anchor. It is worth noting at this point that all pages to KGVI are duplicated so there is often more than one example of a stamp. This is the case for the QV Jubilee, which is complete twice over to 1/- (both colours). KGV again has some useful duplication including seahorses (3 x 2/6, 3 x 5/- and 2 x 10/-). KGVI period is complete with Silver Wedding mint and a useful range of 1937-48 values, many layered on one another, including two 10/- dark blue. QEII is nearly complete, missing just a few wildings and commemoratives. There are a good number of castles. There aren’t any officials, but the pages are there, however there are a good. Condition overall appears to generally be good, including with the early issues and highest values (KEVII has a top right corner fault). However, please note that I have not checked any reverses or gone through anything in detail, including the duplicated stamps, for watermarks etc so there may be a few stamps in the wrong position or sideways/inverted watermarks etc to be found. Please also note that there is a slight smoke aroma. Please see the images below for all stamps. Apologies for the lighting of some pages, some of the added pages are’very white’ and was playing havoc with the auto adjust of the camera. Please see my other items.
