102	3	General		THE IMPERIAL STAMP ALBUM 1840-1928 THE IMPERIAL STAMP ALBUM - In our opinion in condition ripe for coninuation, the Stanley Gibbons produced fore-runner to the popular matched pair two volume NEW IMPERIALS. Impressive dark green leatherbound gold-tooled, gold edged leaves FIRST EDITION IMPERIAL STAMP ALBUM, printed leaves span classic period 1840-1928 period. Comprising impressive, apparently intact British Empire almost all USED collection (GB pages appear to have been picked, although before our time) - although a little residual value to the remaining GB, this is a CLASSIC USED BRITISH EMPIRE COLLECTION, surprisingly well-filled Empire QV, KEVII to KGV c.1928. Ranges run to intermediate values, with 1,000's of stamps the catalogue value will be substantial. Strength in popular areas - British Africa, India & States, Hong Kong and Malay, BWI, Australasia etc. Surprising stamps encountered which one would not really expect to find, hint that the collection for Empire is surprisingly original. Rather than enter copious description, we have taken 385 IMAGES which you can view online. Please request link to view 385 IMAGES, and whether or not bidding, enjoy reviewing all stamp filled leaves. In our opinion although probably almost 100 years old, this album is in good condition, still suitable for continuation of the collection HEAVY/OVERSIZE LOT - OVERSEAS SHIPPING SURCHARGE APPLIES.

102	1378	Australia - States - Western Australia	55b	1879 WESTERN AUSTRALIA 1864-1879 2d. ERROR OF COLOUR in MAUVE watermark crown CC (reversed), perf 12.5, lovely bright shade example significantly well-cancelled by flattering '6' numeral of Albany in blue. Research reveals this to be one of the finest examples of this early British Empire 'bird' classic error of colour, near perfectly centred too. History: apparently resulting from the use of the wrong (2d.) plate during printing of a supply of the Swan 6d. Value. The mistake was not noticed by De La Rue, and an estimated 8-10 sheets were issued in January 1879, with usage recorded at Perth and a few other offices including our Albany cancelled example. So far as is known this was the only occasion upon which DLR made such an error of printing Colonial stamps of any country, if Tobago SG 24c is excluded. 1994 highly respected PETER HOLCOMBE EXPERT colour photo-certificate accompanies, plus provenance expert signed reverse. Peter states 'A fine copy of a rare stamp'. We agree. CLASSIC SWAN Colour ERROR doubtless missing from most BIRD's collections! One of the finest examples extant. Holcombe Certificate. Exhibition Standard. Previous sale of a different example some years ago, it is believed a similar but inferior quality example realised near full current SG catalogue value. LUXUS According to the record of The Royal Philatelic Collection Curated by Sir John Wilson Bart (Dropmore Published 1952) King Charles possesses one example of the Swan 1879 2d. ERROR OF COLOUR in MAUVE, however an image of the quality of the Royal Collection stamp is not published. For reference, we have included an example of the original perf 12½ 2d yellow – so you can compare what should have happened. Cat £15000 {U} US5	£4956

102	8882	Great Britain - Covers - KGV	432/433	1925 218 images: TWO VOLUME 1925 WEMBLEY Unique Philatelic & Social History Collection. I'm not going to say too much about this collection because, I think the 218 images should tell the story. Although I cannot recall seeing anything that specifically reveals the originator … to my mind this collection was painstakingly put together, card by card, by a British War Veteran, possibly disabled. The clues are there, and perhaps more to be deduced … The addresses vary, just how was the collection put together. Then there's the strong patriotic messages, copious articles/clippings/images on the reverse of the cards … Generally fine to very fine. As you know the 1925 is the much better/scarcer Wembley Series, and these are popular amongst the 'Exhibitions' collecting fraternity … I think I worked it out at something like £11.50 a card at the full GBP£3,750= starting price … but I may be wrong. Worth checking for even though £3,750= is a lot of money … this does not feel expensive … View ALL 218 images (2 Volumes) HEAVY/OVERSIZE LOT - OVERSEAS SHIPPING SURCHARGE APPLIES.
