Auction 321 - 332 Europe & Overseas Asia / Africa, Europe A –Z, Collections & Accumulations - Day 4

1849-2000: General collection of France housed in 5 Lighthouse preprinted albums (hingeless), the collections is besides the true rarities quite complete, Ceres 1849 except '1 Fr. Vermillion' all present, with no less than three examples of the 1 Franc red-brown, Bordeaux issue, alle values present etc. etc. In spite of the odd fault or a shorter margin here and there, mainly highly appealing examples. From 1900 on almost only unused with a few gaps, but with on the other hand quite a lot of better stamps, as '20 F Merson', 'Bordeaux Expo 1923', '50 Francs Airpost Banknote', 'Samothrace', 'Pexip Souvenir Sheet' etc. From 1938 on complete and from 1945 no more hinged stamps detected. High catalogue value!
