FIRST ISSUE COLLECTION AND GROUP LOTS

Lot	Symbol	CatNo.	Lot Description	CV or Estimate
514	O		First Issue remarkable balance of the mounted collection containing many hundreds (probably over one thousand) stamps, Mr. Cunliffe liked to collect four of each stamp and neatly arrange them on his album pages, with the four usually having different cancels (or some being mint), many of the values are still intact, with all four of each present, this is particularly true of the perforated stamps, also a nice range of part perforate stamps, high catalog value in the imperforates, which include not only singles, but many pairs and other multiples, in addition there are strong sections of paper and other varieties, color shades,unused examples and cancellations, while there are some small faults, the overall quality is better than typically found, with many attractive stamps throughout; an outstanding lot either for the dealer wanting an impressive stock of first issues, or for the collector wanting a strong basis on which to start collecting this popular field.
