Characteristics of this lot: Country / Area: Ireland (Éire) Period: From classic to modern (1922 to around 2016, including early pre-republic fiscal items). Size and Housing of the lot: 1. 1x large A4 insert binder with a neat brown/pink leather-look cover and 16 white pages (32 pages), almost fully filled with the chronological main collection. 2. 1x smaller A5 insert binder with 8 black pages (16 pages), almost completely filled with the specialized collection of modern ATM/SOAR stamps and classic fiscal stamps. 3. A fine selection of luxe loose commemorative sheets and souvenir sheets, including Rugby World Cup 2007, Irish Trams, Fauna & Flora and double luxe souvenir sheets of Dublin 1991 - European City of Culture. Condition of the albums: The insert binders are in reasonably used but still very neat condition. Quality of the stamps: Mixed (mint / unused / used). On the most filled pages of the A4 album, many series are inserted in a stepped, stair-like manner; the front stamps of these series are generally mint. The loose sheets and blocks are in unused/mint condition. Content highlights by category: Classic & Fiscal: Present from the transitional overprint stamps (Rialtas and Saorstát) from the early 1920s. Also includes interesting classic fiscal/documentary stamps (e.g., Victorian Petty Sessions Six Pence, Foreign Bill and early round Irish port/cut-outs). Including the complete St. Patrick 'High Values' series from 1937 (2/6, 5/- and 10/-), clearly shown in the detail photo. Thematic & Semi-modern: Rich array of commemorative issues, Europe CEPT issues, Christmas stamps and sports series. Modern & ATM/SOAR specialization: Extensive collection of modern machine stamps (up to the 2016 Centenary of the Easter Uprising). Includes various nature themes (birds, fish, insects, mammals) with high face values (up to €5, €6.10 and €7.20 each) and a variety of specific office and mailing overprints (Dublin, Registered Post, Standard Post). Important sale terms: The total collection has been deliberately left in the original, untreated state by the seller and has not been checked for individual plate errors, gum variations, perforation damage, watermarks or the authenticity of early stamps, documentary stamps and overprints. The lot is sold as-is (in its current state). View the photos carefully for your own impression; all filled album pages, sheets, blocks and relevant top items are fully photographed (photo 1 to 49). What you see is what you receive. The whole lot will be securely and well packed and sent by registered mail with track and trace so you can follow the shipment.
