Collection 1890/1903: Significant specialised collection contained within two Scrigno red albums, comprising unused and used examples along with a few on piece and two covers. The assembly is split into two distinct areas. The first album's primary focus is upon 'Imperial British East Africa Company' adhesives and the second is dedicated to the overprints of 'British East Africa' and the overprinted on India at the Zanzibar Gazette. Both follow a similar pattern of presentation and study with a range of unused, used examples, as well as varieties and where possible different specifications (shades/wmk.) following the catalogue specification. Whilst the majority are singles there are multiples, including strips, blocks and in the case of the first area complete sheets of sixty unused. Little duplication, with unused imperforate singles of the 1890 Lithographed by Bradbury Wilkinson issues, De La Rue 1897/1903 1 r. bright ultramarine (with both other shades) to 5 r. deep sepia unused. The study of the overprints highlights examples from the listed varieties as well as those which are apparent but unlisted such as raised/dropped letters, inverted and wide or narrow letters. These two albums are an excellent opportunity for the discerning philatelist with a passion for specialisation Gi = £ 18'500+.
