The auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

An assortment of philatelic albums, binders, and related paper ephemera. The lot includes a yellow vertical binder bearing the Stanley Gibbons name, two red cloth-bound albums, a blue textured binder, and a grey cloth-bound volume. Also present are multiple loose-leaf folders and pages, including items with handwritten numerical notations in blue ink. These items are characteristic of 20th-century storage systems used for housing postage stamps and postal history.


Condition report:

The items exhibit signs of age and use consistent with a private accumulation. Observable defects include scuffing and wear to the spines and edges of the cloth-bound albums, shelf wear to the binders, and natural toning to the edges of the internal paper pages and loose components. The physical integrity of the binders and albums remains generally sound for continued use.
