46 | General - 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.

61 | General - 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.

19813 | Switzerland | | 1850-2016 From the same stable as the remarkable Greater Germany 23 volume collection, offered for the 1st time in this auction, comes this pretty Swiss 1850-2016 Federal Adminstration collection housed in 7 Lighthouse hingeless (for mint) albums - (3 red and 4 green) plus 6 matching blue albums. Substantially complete in mint and used through to new issues 2016, with strength in booklets (stc £5,000), Pro Juventute £4K+, International Organisations £7K, plus main collection stated to catalogue in excess of £20K. (Vendors SG Catalogue Values approximates, believed correct but unchecked) - so that the total believed SG catalogue value approaches or even exceeds £40K. Areas for development in particular the early period with little attention to 'sitting helvetias', generally in poor condition. Earlier mint may be hinged - but soon the collection - both mint and used gets into stride - motoring onwards in high quality - including some earlier MS, and apparently unmounted / VFU and later cto used. Enormous expense in New Issues + high modern face values - and cost of albums - make this collection look cheap estimated at low percentage of SG and particularly bearing in mind the current £ / Euro relationship - so that now may be the ideal moment to continue the development of this extraordinarily pretty collection.
