Our British Commonwealth collectors will be particularly pleased with this Auction as there are well over 600 lots from all parts of the Commonwealth. These lots are mainly mint and quite fine with an usually large number of Specimens. While the strength of this section is in the 1900-50s period there is quite a bit of earlier material as well.
Another feature of this auction is a lovely group of mainly contemporary PPCs showing early aviators and their aeroplanes. Quite a number have been used at early aero shows, particularly in Europe.
Continuing on with this aero theme are our two cover items, a Ross Smith cover and a mint Ross Smith vignette with full margins. These are rare items and it is quite unusual to be able to offer both in the one auction.
