INTRODUCTION Stanley Gibbons Auctions presents to you Stamps & Postal History of the World, which includes the remaining
British Commonwealth material from the Dunlop family collection, this being the part looked after by Dr Joyce
Dunlop. The sale will be held over two days with the second day featuring Collections & Ranges from over 100
vendors.
Highlights from the sale are spread throughout with the Great Britain section including a 1935 Silver Jubilee
Prussian blue vertical pair used on cover, believed to be the only multiple of this error known on cover, an item that
would not be out of place in the most distinguished collection. It would also be hard to ignore the very seldom
offered £1 I.R. Officials. These departmental issues were originally produced exclusively for use by the Inland
Revenue, although they may have been briefly on sale to the public from Somerset House. Mint examples of these
high values are exceptionally rare.
Collectors of King George VI may be pleased to find the ever-elusive Cochin SG 92c being offered with a BPA
Certificate, from the Dr. Dunlop collection. Indeed, certificates abound throughout the collection. For devotees of
the SG album for KG VI issues, the stand-out item must be the used horizontal pair of South Africa SG O35 on
piece of official envelope, believed to be unique; the only used pair that fits the format in the album!
There are numerous offerings from the Middle East with strong sections in Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Iraq –
including a very choice copy of the 1931 Official 25r.
Stanley Gibbons Auctions will be present at Stampex on Stand 91, where we will have the single items from this
Auction available for viewing . Our team will be on hand if you would like to discuss the sale of some or all of your
collection or find out more about one of our future Auctions. If you are unable to make it to Stampex, or wish to
view items from the Collections & Ranges, there are many opportunities to do so the following week and we will
also be open on Saturday 23rd February from 10am - 3pm.
We look forward to working with you as a buyer or a seller throughout 2019 and thank you for choosing to use
Stanley Gibbons Auctions.
Sincerely
