Charming contemporary collection of mint 1922-'23 issues ingeniously presented by cut slots in the album page to preserve top-quality mint never hinged condition, the otherwise old-fashioned album beautifully written-up in ink in English and Irish, the latter language aesthetically done with the title pages initialled by the artist. The run of issues is comprehensive incl. three seahorse sets, the highlight being the Thom overprints (SG.44/46) as immaculate as the rest, as well as sets of coil-join pairs, the latter not counted towards the total catalogue as hinged of over £2,350.
Sold for £1,000
Estimated at £350 - £450
