Here are some more George VI stamps from the H.T. collection that I inherited. They are all MNH. Enjoy!

Are these H. T.'s pages?

Yes and no. H.T.'s collection came in a several boxes mostly filled with kiloware. Mixed in with all that were glassine envelopes filled with a lot of George VI MNH stamps and an unused Scott Specialty British America album with pages to 1954. Having the album and the stamps, I mounted them to the pages and filled in all the earlier stuff from my own collection. I posted the Antigua and Bermuda sections in the World Classics Forum. H.T. was a merchant marine collecting stamps from the countries he visited (mostly Caribbean and Central America) in the late 40s and early 50s. Thankfully, he never got around to hinging what he had into the album.

Sure is good looking material. H.T. sure liked selvage.

He seems a bit obsessive and repetitive in his collecting habits, but he acquired some good material.
