This exceptional and enormous collection has gained medals galore at all the great International Exhibitions, where it has been shown during the last 20 years. The quality is remarkably good. no collection past or present has approached the superlatively fine condition of this wonderful range of picked copies.
The British stamps used in Jamaica are nearly all on covers and include most superb examples and rare post-town numbers.
In addition there are many hundred covers with normal stamps and twelve with bisects.
Of the dollar variety, there are 18 copies, including every known variety.
The ‘Specimen’ stamps, 188 different, are illustrated in Mr. Nicholson's new book on ‘The Specimen Stamps of Jamaica’.
The Postal Fiscals are a collection in themselves with many scarce pieces.
The whole of the famous collection is included with the exception of the Pre-stamp covers and the collection of postmarks of Jamaica.
