Assorted International Philatelic Collection

A collection of four used, perforated postage stamps from various international jurisdictions. The grouping includes: (1) A deep claret-colored Spanish ‘España’ stamp featuring a 16th-century style portrait, likely Miguel de Cervantes, with a 10-cent denomination. (2) A United States 5-cent blue ‘Washington’ stamp depicting George Washington from the Liberty series (circa 1954-1965). (3) A purple British ‘Wilding’ series stamp featuring Queen Elizabeth II with a 3d (three pence) denomination, issued between 1952 and 1967. (4) A red French ‘RF’ (République Française) 15f stamp displaying the 'Marianne de Gandon' design. All specimens are printed on paper with distinctive perforated edges indicating standard mechanical separation. Each stamp shows evidence of postal service with visible black ink cancellation marks (postmarks) across the faces. The condition is generally fine but shows typical wear for circulated mail, including slightly uneven perforations and minor surface creasing on the Spanish specimen. Such stamps were mass-produced using gravure or intaglio printing processes, reflecting mid-20th-century craftsmanship. The color registration remains relatively vibrant, though minor fading and paper toning commensurate with age are present. This set represents a typical mid-century cross-section of European and American postal history.
