Collection of First Day Stamp Covers
A lot of first day stamp covers, offered as a collection and displayed with a number of envelopes laid out on the table. The covers include Royal Mail issues such as the Kew Gardens 1990 Royal Mail First Day Cover and the St John Ambulance Royal Mail First Day Cover, alongside a Europa 1990 cover and a cover marked The Queen’s Awards for Export and Technology. A group of Zambian covers is also present, including examples titled Birds of Zambia, Republic of Zambia, Preventive Medicine Zambia and Zambian Traditional. Further loose envelopes and stamped material are held in a grey basket and a brown envelope.
Condition and Collector Interest
Several covers bear dated postmarks, and a number are addressed to Miss M F Todd, with one sent as a registered item. The covers are displayed with their stamps and designs visible, and the group spans both British and Zambian material from the late twentieth century. The variety of issues and themes gives this lot appeal to thematic collectors, first day cover enthusiasts and those building a Royal Mail or Commonwealth collection.
