Luxford collection gets stamp of approval
More than 150 lots from the stamp collection of John Luxford come under the hammer at Woodwards in Cork today. It is part one of a series of auctions of the archive of this well-known Cork collector, considered to be one of the finest collections of stamps in Ireland. There is much of Irish interest from An Post first day covers to an Irish heritage block collection, early Irish first day covers, commemorative stamps, sheets and albums.
There are stamps from Great Britain, France; Greece; Finland; Norway; Vatican first day covers and East German stamps, as well as world albums and stockbooks. The sale starts at noon and is on view today from 10am. ¦ Fresh from an exciting viewing in Skibbereen last weekend Morgan O’Driscoll’s Irish and British art auction takes place at the Clyde Court Hotel in Dublin at 6pm on Monday.
