Great Britain

Great Britain Accumulation in three cartons, one with about 1,400 used perf penny reds in books and on pages and loose, some organised including postmarks, multiples, etc. with a further very approx. 3,000 penny reds loose in a box, mix of stars and four-corner-letters, many with cut edges. This hoard given to the collector by an old lady several decades ago and never checked. Also noted a penny black, three margins, tied by red MX to cover of May 11th 1840 addressed to James Taylor, first partner of Samuel Lloyd, with contents on banking policy. Lots here for the enthusiast of the later line-engraved issues.
