Lot 245: UK, RU, PL, TN, FR International Stamp Collection, Mint Sheets and Used Stock

This lot comprises an international collection of postage stamps presented in binders and on loose album pages. The collection includes mint multiples and partial sheets from Guernsey Bailiwick, specifically the Christmas Gift Bearers (5p) and Christmas Carols (6p) issues. Thematic interest is represented by commercial ACE packets containing sets from Russia (Mushroom designs, Pkt. No. 447) and Poland (Unusual Fruit and Vegetable issue, Pkt. No. 429). A significant portion of the collection consists of used stamps from Tunisia (Republique Tunisienne), including definitive and commemorative issues featuring architectural, historical, and botanical subjects with circular date stamp cancellations. A section dedicated to France contains used Sower and Ceres types, alongside an issue from French West Africa (Afrique Occidentale Française). The stamps are perforated and printed using photogravure and lithographic techniques. Items are mounted via hinges on paper or housed within protective plastic sleeves.
