Collection of Vintage Indian and International Postage Stamps

This is a diverse philatelic collection housed in a black protective stock card with clear plastic strips. The collection primarily centers on mid-20th-century Indian postage, including definitive and commemorative issues. Notable specimens include stamps depicting King George VI, various Indian heritage sites, industrial themes, and cultural figures like Radha and Krishna. The stamps exhibit a range of printing techniques, from single-color lithography to multi-colored photogravure. Physical conditions vary; some stamps show clear postmarks (cancelled), while others appear mint or lightly hinged. Perforation quality varies, with some roughly separated edges visible. The collection also includes a a few British Commonwealth items, such as Machin-head Queen Elizabeth II stamps at the bottom. The color palette is broad, featuring vivid magentas, teals, and traditional sepias. Many pieces date from the 1940s through the 1970s, representing transition periods in Indian postal history. The arrangement is non-sequential, suggesting a curated hobbyist collection rather than a complete specialized plate block. No specific rare errors are immediately visible, but the diversity of themes like 'Malaria Control' and 'India Postage Service' overprints adds historical depth.
