Item Description
This is an original Edinburgh solicitor's archive
dating from 1843-1854, comprising 473 covers each franked with the 1841 1d
red-brown, some multiples, with range of cancels, shades etc. The
stamps are unchecked for plate numbers, so some enjoyable hours of checking
should reap rewards for any collector of these issues - there are some 1854
covers so high plate numbers are a possibility! As you can see from the
high resolution scans, there are faults but this is normal with such archives.
The lot also includes 26 1d pink postal stationery envelopes with various
cancels including Maltese Cross. One of the covers is the albino print. Many of the dirty creases can be removed with a soft eraser.
