Ireland. ★★/★/⊙. Attractive collection of hundreds of stamps housed in a Schaubek album, mint and used, first set seahorses mint high values to 10/– complete and then defins used 1922 to 10d and 1/–, as well as subsequent defins to 9d and 10d mint and used, through to the three line overprint again to 1/– of the last, set followed by the re-engraved 2/6d and 5/– seahorse. Collection continues with page after page material including the 1942/45 St Patricks set mint and virtually all the commems through to the 1980s ending with back of the book postage dues. A well rounded collection, not needing that much save further seahorses and coils for completion, a much recommended viewing.
