Description

This is a vintage Stanley Gibbons "Improved" stamp album, 15th edition, which I estimate was made in the 1920s or '30s. It contains an all-world collection of over 800 stamps from about 1850 onwards, with plenty of well-filled pages including 19th century GB, Europe, Canada, Cape of Good Hope with 3 genuine triangles , India / Indian States, Australia, USA, Germany etc . All stamps are unchecked for shade, watermark, perforation gauge, etc. so you can have hours of fun looking for varieties . A s with all vintage collections the stamps are in v ery mixed condition throughout, so expect some occasional faults & damage , but also some better items here & there. Any overprints are not authenticated. I only collect GB and three Commonwealth countries, so I may have overlooked some valuable items. There are far more stamps than I can show in 24 photos, so if you want more photos of any particular country, please ask. The album itself is well-used and in damaged condition, with many pages partly or completely loose and separated from the binding. It would require extensive repairs for continued use. My photos are part of the description. Please ask any questions before bidding. From a smoke-, pet- and virus- free seller. I have been on Ebay since 2001 with the same username. Postage UK buyers - £ 3.50 for Tracked48 insured postage. International buyers : £ 1 2 (Europe) or £ 15 (rest of the world) for insured & tracked airmail. Excluded locations I do not post to Brazil, Canada or South Africa due to excessive Customs / postal delays and losses ; nor to Russia, Belarus or Ukraine during the current conflict. Ebay is also imposing some international posting restrictions due to virus and embargo regulations . Click the tab marked "Postage and Payments" for details. Payment Via the various options within Ebay's managed payments scheme. Payment must clear before shipping. Returns I will give a full refund if there is any significant misdescription. Duty and taxes Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or postage cost. These charges are the buyer's legal responsibility to pay. C heck with your country's Customs office to find out what these extra costs will be, before bidding. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight company, but they are not additional shipping charges. In some countries and US states, by law Ebay must collect these taxes at the point of sale , so they will appear as an extra Sales Tax or VAT fee on your Ebay or PayPal bill. That payment goes to your Government , n ot me. Please note that I will not declare a false Customs value – doing so is a crime.
