Lot 1216 Large Collection / Accumulation of Mint and Used Trinidad and Tobago, 1851-2019, with a few thousand stamps, the majority in hingeless mounts, in roughly 125 album pages housed in two albums. The collection begins with roughly 225 primarily used Trinidad noting mostly perforated Britannia’s from ½p to £1 (revenue postmarks on the higher denominations), along with roughly 20 mint hinged Tobago 1882-1896 issues, and back of the book material noting postage dues and war tax. The collection continues with mint and or used singles, sets, and partial sets of Trinidad and Tobago, ranging from 1913 to the 1950s, with primarily mint never hinged stamps onwards. A cursory check noted #s 10 (m.h., $85), 30 (x2, m.h., $80 total), along with sets and partial sets cataloguing from $20 to $60 and up. We estimate 95% completeness in period, for basic issues. Post-1960, with the collector adding, souvenir sheets, sheetlets, in hingeless mounts and selections of modern used hinged onto album pages. Duplication up to five in some cases, with online photos showing a sampling. A few small faults with a few of the early stamps, overall fine to very fine. Estimate C$350, sold for C$2,600.00 plus 17% buyer’s premium.
