A Fine Postal Archive
The following 14 lots are from an original Postal archive assembled between 1928 and 1951. All have been affixed onto file sheets with stamp hinges, though some require a degree of care when lifting or removing from the sheet. Over the years a varying amount of tropicalisation has taken place which seems to have affected the gum slightly more than the facial appearance, which on the whole is very good.
To fully appreciate the depth and condition of the archive, viewing is essential. No lot may be returned on grounds of condition.
