Lot no. 10280

1852–59, collection of over 130 stamps in a stockbook, including singles and pairs, a mostly used collection, neatly arranged by issue and denomination, strongest in the 1852–55 Crown issues with additional 1857–59 and Provisional Government examples, a striking range of shades offering strong potential for further study and expansion, a useful reference page of forgeries and reprints is also included (not counted in the total), condition slightly mixed in places though of superior overall quality to what is often found in such collections, the odd questionable stamp, but many signed including by Diena, Richter, and others; a fine and well-balanced collection of above-average quality, ideal for the specialist.
