General Auction including Gold, Silver & Cars ( ONLY 14% COMMISSION )
A hardbound philatelic album, identified through web intelligence as a Minkus Specialty Album, containing a comprehensive collection of Canadian postage stamps from approximately 1851-1985. The album is systematically organized with section headings for “CANADA,” “GREAT BRITAIN,” “GIBRALTAR,” “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “CHANNEL ISLANDS,” “NORTHERN IRELAND,” and “ISLE OF MAN.” The stamps, predominantly paper, are a mix of definitive and commemorative issues, featuring portraits (notably Queen Elizabeth II and various US presidents), historical events, natural elements like flora and fauna, landscapes, and cultural themes. Visible text includes country names, denominations (e.g., cents, pence, shillings, pounds), and dates, along with descriptive philatelic notes such as currency conversions on the “GREAT BRITAIN” pages and “NOEL” (French for Christmas) on some Canadian stamps. The album pages are grid-lined, and the stamps appear to be neatly mounted. Also present is a loose H.E. Harris & Co. packet of “DISTINGUISHED AMERICANS” commemoratives. This lot further includes additional philatelic albums, such as a “trans world” album and one for “CHINA,” along with individual presentation packs like “THE ROYAL MAIL,” indicating a broader collection of world stamps.
