Item Description
Some remnants from the fabulous collection of J.S Craig.4 pages of ancient history at your fingertips. Many of the stamps / pages have been spoilt / damaged due to negligence. These and many other wonderous stamps were collected and preserved in a private collection whose collector passed away many decades ago. Many of the pages have corroded due to time and many have been destroyed by Silverfish and Book Lice. I am trying to do some monumental work in preserving what is worthy of selling and thankfully much of it remains. I have tried to preserve some of the antiquities that have been offered for sale here. This beautiful collection has been well preserved and documented. We love our stamps as much as you do – so the lucky winner / buyer will receive the stamps very well presented and packed. We believe such collections are to be treasured and cherished so that they form part of a beautiful and very presentable collage which can be proudly displayed. For serious collectors just flipping through such pages brings enormous joy.
Just look at the beautiful Diadems. There are 18 precious diadems.
There are a total of 44 stamps of New south Wales.
a total of 2 stamps of Tasmania and
a total of 3 stamps of South Australia.
There is also some really good reference material (10 pages) that is being offered with this set for those who are interested – I have provided all pics of the reference materials– this will really help collectors.
And imagine, I have heard that 21 albums full of these precious beauties have been lost over time. What a pity. Let’s hope what we have inherited adds to the joy and beauty of some collector who is lucky to grab these first.
If you are interested in these collections please take a look at our other offerings listed for sale. Feel more than welcome to window shop and if you feel there is something of interest - bid / buy with confidence and feel welcome to send me a message if you have a question. There is a fabulous Italian collection, a most wonderful J.S. Craig spanish collection and other collections, coming up for sale that we are assembling from the albums and sheets.
Good luck with the bidding – be the first to grab it before anyone else does.
Total 4 pages. I am offering it quite cheap so they are affordable for people to add to their collections, considering its part of history!!!
Thank you.
