Auction 70
Lot 639 /o Worldwide, 1840's-1899, an old-time collection of mint and used classics, over 800 stamps in all, including first issues of Australian States, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, German States, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Netherlands and Norway, plus numerous better issues of Europe and the British Empire from the latter 19th century (a few 20th century issues are inconsequential); all arranged in a stockbook. In very mixed condition, with approximately 5% of the stamps being space-fillers and landfill candidates (not counted), but there are plenty of Fine or better appearing examples to make this a worthwhile lot. The catalog value is very roughly estimated, so please check the scans on the web to get a better idea of the many high value items in this unusual collection. Shipping weight 3.5 lbs / 1.6 kilos. Scott $5,000 or more. Estimate $250 - 350. |
