A COLLECTION of stamps from a Lichfield owner is set to fetch thousands of pounds at auction.

Eight albums will go under the hammer with Richard Winterton Auctioneers on 27th November.

They are expected to fetch a total of around £4,000.

Highlights include four Penny Blacks, two 1840 Twopenny Blues and two 1840 Mulreadys – the world’s first pre-paid postal stationary, named after the artist William Mulready who was commissioned to illustrate it.

There is also a mint condition 1902 to 1912 basic set, a rare King Edward VII £1 green, a Sea Horses set including a fine mint £1 and a 1929 Postal Union Congress £1 stamp.

Expert Phil Ives said:

> “This is a quality collection with some stamps of which good quality examples are hard to get hold of.  
>  
> “The 1929 Postal Union Congress £1 was just the second British commemorative stamp issued and is one of the finest examples of British philately, often described as one of the most beautiful GB stamps ever.  
>  
> “This is a lovely, well-presented GB stamps collection and inspection is invited to view the quality.”

The catalogue will be live online a week before the auction at [www.richardwinterton.co.uk/auctions/auction-calendar](http://www.richardwinterton.co.uk/auctions/auction-calendar?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
