Antiques, Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A collection of 47 postage stamps housed within a small, open stock book, primarily featuring issues from Great Britain and India, dating mostly from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). The collection is split between 15 stamps affixed to the right page and 32 loose stamps, blocks, and pairs piled on the left page. The affixed Indian stamps include definitive and Service Postage issues from 1957, often annotated by the collector with descriptions such as Map of India 1957, Centenary of Indian Mutiny 1957, and Red Cross Conference 1957. The denominations are listed in Naye Paise (NP). The loose material consists mainly of Great Britain commemorative and definitive issues featuring the profile of Queen Elizabeth II. Notable designs include Christmas themes (Snowmen, Kings, Angels), historical art (Murillo’s Madonna and Child, 4d value, often with printer’s color dots selvage), and technology subjects (Nuclear Power, Hovercraft, and cars). The majority of the stamps appear to be Mint Never Hinged (MNH) or Mint Hinged (MH), though condition varies widely, especially among the loose material.
