1 Accumulation
in medium carton, which looks like it is possibly largely undisturbed
since
about
the
1940s or 1950s. Includes a handful of pocket stockbooks of world
stamps, very
often
with
interesting material, sometimes with mint items, but age and storage
have made
some
things
stick together. Also some covers, numbers of UK penny reds, a folder of
mint
blocks
(mixed countries inc. many Afghanistan but again much adherence), tins
of
duplicates,
etc. (1,000s) þ

large world collection in thirty-four albums. Commonwealth is
strongest, with
the
West

best amongst that. Generally quite an untidy appearance, with re-used
pages
and
so on,
but still moderately useful in a “modest but large” sort of way.

The 1928 Ile
de France Surcharges
The Transatlantic liner Ile de France was one of
the ships that carried the mails between
Europe and
North America, the fastest way of sending mail at the time. On 13
August 1928,
the ship was
able to take a full day off the time taken for mail by catapulting a
flying-boat off
the stern of
the ship once within range of North America. Passengers could avail
themselves
of this
service by paying the postal agent ten francs per item. For the return
journey,
the French
Consul in
New
York had existing French stamps surcharged. The stamps available in
largest
numbers were
overprinted with the new 10f denomination; 2,700 of the 90c Berthelot,
and 900
of the 1f50
Pasteur stamps were thus surcharged. Of this number 1,135 and 250
respectively
were used on
mail, the flying-boat taking to the air once the liner was within sight
of the
Scilly
Isles. The
French Post Office eventually conceded that these were in fact official
postage
stamps.
