1663		S.G. #1/47	S.G. #1/47, Impressive collection of British Consular Mail stamps, a remarkable assemblage of 40 different examples of these very scarce and difficult stamps, representing the most comprehensive collection of its kind we have ever offered, containing stamps that range in catalog value from £65 to £1,100 each, includes all eight values from the March 1884 issue, even the elusive 4p value from this series is present where the "1 oz." printed value was changed in manuscript to "4 oz.", with a black handstamp, and the same stamp is present with a violet handstamp where there is no manuscript amendment, there is tremendous representation of 1886 issues, with a wide range of types and colored handstamps present; all stamps are unused or mint, many still retaining the small patch of original gum in the corner, usual small faults will be found throughout the collection due to the frail nature of the paper they were printed on, typically these flaws are limited to the characteristic small thins, although a couple either have creases or small tears, overall the condition is above average for this size collection and nearly all are of very fine appearance; an exciting opportunity to acquire an incredibly representative collection of these elusive stamps (Scott #1/56).	£12,535 Closed or SOLD for $20,000.00 Closing..Sep-16-2000, 09:00 AM
