Lot 3572 De

British Colonies (Commonwealth). Mostly used. Old fashioned collection housed in 5 well filled albums, the first being from Australia to Burma, the 2nd being Canada to Griqualand West, the 3rd being Heligoland to Leewards, the 4 being Malaya through to Strait Settlements, and the 5th being St Helena to Zanzibar. There are many 1000s of stamps with most BC countries represented with the value being in the QV through to KGV/VI. Better countries inc Australia from first issues and early multiples used, British West Indies inc Bahamas, Bermuda, Barbados, through to St Vincent, etc. British Africa with Capes inc the Hopes and 'G' o/ps, Egypt, Gambia from Cameo types, Gold Coast, Hong Kong with treaty port cancels, KUT, etc through to KGV. India, Indian native states, Cochin, Travancore, etc. Malaya extensive inc Singapore and the Malayan states with dozens of tigers and early 19th/20th century o/ps with most if not all States present. This with the Straits Settlements almost has an album to itself and probably the most interesting part to research, accompanied by Brunei, North Borneo, Sarawak, etc. Finally the 5th album, useful range of Sierra Leone, Rhodesia, SWA all the way through to Zanzibar again from the 19th century onwards. Definitely a collection with huge potential, deserving a careful viewing page for page, completely uncatalogued.
