    1840/1860c.: "LONDON", fantastic collection primarily made up of 1844 numeral marks on 1 d. red beginning with a four margin 1840 1 d. black, lettered 'EL' unplated on slightly incomplete cover. Wonderfully clean 1840 Mulready (stereo A189) with red MC and clear 'TP BLACKHEATH SQ ' also in red, cover slightly trimmed on the reverse. Also 1844 usage of Mulready (A81) cancelled with number 18, making for a rare combination letter to "GRAVESEND". An 1845 letter from Naples forwarded upon arrival in "LONDON" with 1841 1 d. red, struck with a clean "66" for cancellation. There are approximately one hundred-sixty entires, many with very fine to exceptional strikes and a large number of pieces and singles with London markings including some in blue. Condition varies between exceptional and poor, albeit the majority of items in fine condition.
