These are items from a Postal History collection from a well known philatelist. All pieces are of very high quality, are scarce or rare and should be good investment pieces. Please note the cancellations and CDS which add greatly to the value.
This auction is for two items. The first is a with Victoria penny lilac and half penny stamps cover with a London cancellation - addressed to Worcester Massachusetts, USA with arrival CDS on rear. Distinctive feature is the great wavy American flag cancellation and the received marks for 22 December 1899.
The second is a Postcard with a one penny pre-printed stamp cancelled at Glasgow on 12 July 1892 to Elberfeld in Germany - no arrival CDS.
Both Cover and card are in perfect condition. There is some toning on the cover, which is to be expected with its age, but it does not distract from the philatelic interest in the cancellations
