Welcome! This is our 24th Public Auction and it features the “Windsor” Collection of British Commonwealth which is replete with sets, shades, varieties and specimens. Small one-country King George VI collections abound, with all or most printings represented, a gold mine for the specialist. We are also very pleased to offer a major holding of Great Britain which is the final portion of the “Nashville” collection which we sold in 2004 and 2005. Many rare and spectacular items will entice the GB collector. The Edwin M. Lavitt collections of Labuan and North Borneo contain unique and wonderful stamps that have not been on the market since the 1970s. This is your opportunity to locate those challenging items that you have been wanting! There is also a strong section of Malaya, Malayan States and Straits Settlements with many obscure Japanese Occupation and Revenue issues. Mint and used Key types are well-represented and the sale concludes with the Joseph E. Foley Philatelic Library. The long awaited new book by Eric Yendell, The King George VI Large Key Type Revenue and Postage High Value Stamps 1937 – 1953 will be available at the end of June. The book is a comprehensive guide and addresses every conceivable aspect of these popular issues. We will have a limited quantity to sell so if you would like us to reserve a copy for you, please let us know quickly. Preliminary price is $120 (subject to our cost), plus shipping. We are very proud to offer two major collections in our Fall sale which will delight British America collectors. The Paul A. Larsen Collection of Leeward Islands, 1890 – 1911, a Grand Award winning exhibition features many mouth-watering rarities including the King Edward VII Master Die Proof. The second collection, The Duane A. Larson Collection of Jamaica is replete with rarities including the fabled Jamaica 1/ with inverted frame! We will also have the Dr. Adalberto Garcia-Maynez Collection of British Commonwealth, a powerful assemblage loaded with high values and the Dennis Porterfield Collection of Bermuda. And finally, a special “Hello” to Major David Underwood, known to many of you who collect Double Heads, who continues to recuperate from wounds he received in Baghdad. We wish you well. Now on with the sale! |
