Again, much common material with a few good items here and there. When, like me you have been collecting for over 30 years, you see boxes of material like this. There is a mass of it out there. The more there is the less its worth. There are no new collectors coming into philately to buy this material. Enjoy what you have as is. Rhodesia was once a top collecting field. The Double Heads of which you have some lower values were once highly valued and collected. The problem with much of this is that Rhodesia is now a 'Dead Country'. This impacts on how many people collect Rhodesia today. How many kids even know where it was? Again, there are nice, not great, stamps among this lot. The 1905 BSAC Victoria Falls 1d red is nice but the postmark, which could have distinguished it from the run-of-the-mill is indistinct. The history of the BSAC and Rhodesia suggests that some of these stamps should be worth something. They're not. Don't place too much importance on catalogue values. Stamps are only worth what someone will pay for them in a declining market .
Thank you Steve. You comments are valued.
