71General - Thematics BIRDS ON STAMPS - AN INTACT LIFETIMES COLLECTION IN 50 ALBUMS a very large collection written up partially by country, but mainly by species. The majority are 1950's-2000's issues hinged mint (much being heavily mounted or some stuck down), and although much of the material comprises relatively cheap issues, there are some good exceptions incl. a fair Falkland Islands 1933 Centenary 5s Penguin, USA Duck Hunting issues range etc. We sampled four of the albums and these averaged 990 stamps, so we estimate there to be 40,000 to 50,000 stamps in total. An extraordinary collection which if not broken by species and stamps partially stuck down would be worth a multiple of the estimate, which reflects condition and arrangement.

Also a scarce set to 50c of Chinese P.O. in Tibet unused (with paper adhering to back & some perf faults) , these would cat £2360 as fine mint. Volume II: with a mint & used study of the 1912-14 First issue with shades, multiples, varieties & values to 1t, 9 covers 1915-25 bearing 1/6th trangka green adhesives, one with photo certificate (Sismondo 2000) and one bearing 1/3rd trangka c1927 (this affixed across back of cover and thus halved when opened, but a very rare item in any condition). Also later printings including 'POTSAGE' variety (2) in a complete sheet of 12 & another single example, plus 1914-17 4t & 8t including a reprint. Volume III: has a mint & used study of the 1933 issue with 3 covers, 18 complete sheets, these include 'missing cliché' & sheets with 'substituted clichés'. Cancelled sheets are cto.

Volume VI: starts with so-called Officials including a probably unique airmail cover from Turkey in 1954 with Turkish adhesives on address side & on the back, a 1933 4t green, and 'officials' 1shokang brown & a pair of 2Khakakang brown black all cancelled by Lhasa cds cancels. Later some examples of stamps and covers from the post Chinese takeover period with propaganda labels, 'Free Tibet' etc. Overall the collection is well adapted to be displayed at local or national level, on matching album pages, and collections of Tibet of this level are very rarely offered.

21041General - World FASCINATING 1942 JUGEND AUSGABE SCHAUBEK ALBUM – Translated ‘Youth Issue’ 1942 World Stamp Album. This is a fully printed album including some illustrations - the most politically and militarily motivated ‘World’ (in inverted commas) stamp album that I have ever seen. The full impact of the Third Reich ‘propaganda machine’ in ‘mid-World War’ is written within these 240 extraordinarily well-filled pages of Mint and or Used comprising some, between 4,000 to 5,000 different stamps from classic through to 1942 period – which, unsurprisingly are dominated by a good collection of Germany, so that, for example Bavaria has 4 almost complete pages, Denmark comprises 4 almost full pages, Danzig 4 well filled leaves, but Germany from Empire to 1942 including territories and a few Colonies – some 45 well-filled leaves, condition variable upon earlier issues – but generally good to fine – France comprises 6 well-filled leaves, USA with 5 well-filled leaves, but Great Britain with just 2 leaves and, I may be wrong, but not even provision for a 1d black! British Colonies with, for example, 12 spaces for the stamps of Australia, 6 spaces (empty) for the stamps of New Zealand! A large heavy album, more than 2 inches thick – remarkably well-filled, some reprints / private printings in the German Zeppelins and high values – but what a joy to discover this album and write about it, there is room to upgrade and continue. I hope this album remains preserved for future generations... Includes better stamps, probably no rarities, but with between 4,000 to 5,000 stamps and possibly more (I haven’t counted) – what a pleasure to describe.
