An “impressive” collection of British Commonwealth stamps are being sold by a Lichfield auctioneer.

Laid out across seven albums, the items runs to around 1955.

The collection is expected to fetch £4,000 when it is sold at Richard Winterton Auctioneers on 27th September.

Expert Phil Ives said:

> “There are so many highlights in this collection – it’s a bit like picking your favourite child.  
>  
> “Most collections that we see are made up of short sets. The more expensive stamps are often absent.  
>  
> “This collection is different because nearly all the sets are complete, with a number from the reigns of King Edward VII and King Goerge V, as well as the more typical King George VI sets.  
>  
> “The collection stands out for the quality as well as the content, with some very hard-to-find sets.  
>  
> “It’s certainly a tough collection from which to pick a highlight – there are stamps here that I have never actually seen in person in 30 years in philately.”
