International Philatelic Collection
This collection consists of sixteen used and mint-condition postage stamps from diverse global regions, including Canada, Greece, Ivory Coast, Chad, Dahomey (Benin), Upper Volta (Burkina Faso), and the Central African Republic. The assortment showcases various printing techniques, primarily offset lithography and photogravure, on typical perforated stamp paper. Sizes range from small definitives to larger commemorative formats. Subject matter is eclectic, featuring industrial scenes (Canada's 20-cent timber/industry stamp), wildlife (butterflies and rams), cultural artifacts (masks and pottery), and historical architecture. Many specimens exhibit prominent black circular postmarks or wavy cancellation lines, indicating they were through-process mail. The condition is varied; while many maintain crisp edges and vibrant color saturation, some exhibit blunted perforations, light creasing, and typical handling wear. Notable items include a Greek 30-drachma stamp depicting Mount Athos and various Francophone African issues from the mid-20th century, likely dating between 1950 and 1980. The collection represents common to medium-scarcity philatelic materials, likely compiled by a hobbyist collector interested in thematic or geographical breadth.
