Lot 192: UK Channel Islands Philatelic Collection, Albums and Stock Books
A substantial philatelic collection focused on the United Kingdom and Channel Islands, presented in a clear plastic storage container. The lot contains an assortment of stamp albums, stock books, and booklets, complemented by loose ephemera and postal history material. The binders include multiple blue and red ring binders, a large green cloth-bound stock book, and several black stock books in varying sizes. A black stock book bears a green circular adhesive label with the handwritten inscription 26 x CHANNEL ISLES SETS. Visible booklets include one titled JERSEY AVIATION and another with the partial text DEPART. A blue ring binder spine features a printed label reading Barclays. The contents consist of organised sets, many in clear protective sleeves, alongside individual stamps and envelopes. The material includes a mix of mint and used issues.
Condition report:

Loose envelopes and papers show edge wear and minor creasing attributable to dense storage (photo 1). The plastic storage container is scratched but functional (photo 1).
