The following 80 lots are an accum. of stamps in envelopes or packets, mostly swaps, from a large all world colln. As most are in manila envelopes, and require much sifting to go through, we’ve only given them a cursory glance, so who knows what you’ll find. Some decent items seen, most lots have a good range of periods (some QV noted in some pkts., others with many modern colourful thematics) and values (some higher face & cat. items). Some dupl. (part sheets in some!), mixed condition, low estimates, high potential.
