    1840: An exceptional collection of Penny Blacks, with used singles, multiples, and covers, neatly-mounted on Frank Godden pages and arranged by plate, identified as 1a with singles (6) and two covers, one single with exceptionally-crisp red Maltese Cross, 1b with singles (11), a lovely FA-FB pair, and a cover, 2 with singles (6) and three covers, 3 with singles (3) cover, and one large piece with stamp tied by both red Maltese Cross and Charing Cross straight-line, 4 with singles (5), HL-IL vertical pair, and cover, 5 with singles (7) and large piece with adhesive tied by black Maltese Cross and struck with TP/Cornhill in red, 6 with singles (6), MJ-MK horizontal pair, and cover to Newcastle, 7 with singles (3), LA-LB pair, and large piece and cover, eight with singles (2) and cover, 9 with singles (2) and two covers, and 10 with single, large piece, and cover, all appear to be four-margin examples, noting black and intense black examples, worn plate printings, etc, a carefully-selected group, many stamps complemented by equally choice cancellations, the odd small flaw, but a chiefly fresh and very fine holding, and a joy to review.
