DESCRIPTION:
This is an extensive, high CV Australian Commonwealth pre decimal collection of blocks of 4 or larger spanning the 1913 -1965 period and housed in a quality hinge less album. The majority of the blocks are MUH with some a mix of MUH and MH stamps with many Imprint Blocks, corner blocks and some perf pip blocks. Any minor faults, and they are few and far between, have been noted in the description below. This album would make a great basis for a complete block of 4 pre decimal collection and it would also make a great resell lot or a swap lot for a collector. You won’t be disappointed with this album as there are many Fine stamps throughout. The collection comprises the following:
