Ireland. Mostly **. Virtually complete mint collection from the first issues to 1940s, beautifully presented and written-up in an album, with exceptional quality and mostly never hinged. That which is catalogued totals over £6,000 (for hinged), yet there is far more here that could not be catalogued, errors, varietes, ovpt and wmk proofs, etc. Highlights include 1922 Dollard set NH with the high values all sheet corner examples, errors incl. 1d inverted ovpt, red and carmine ovpts to 9d NH, a study of coils incl. horizontal and vertical joins complete, then the 1922 Thom ovpts complete, NH to 1/-, the high values with BPA certificates, 1922/23 Irish Free State overprints complete NH, coils again with all the long 'I' errors in multiples with normal, horizontal and vertical joins complete, etc, followed by the first definitives and postage dues incl. watermark errors and coils NH, narrow and wide date seahorses incl. re-engraved set all complete NH, as well as first St. Patrick high values set NH, 1940/45 defins complete to 10/- NH, over a page of inverted wmks to 2/6 NH incl. 15ximperf 1d strip of 3 NH, booklet panes all never hinged including scarce watermark varieties, etc, etc. One of the best collections of Ireland we have ever had the pleasure to offer.
