Shade and variety goldmine. A carefully assembled group of 38 used 1898 issue 2c Xmas Map stamps, all selected for (mostly) Fancy Cork postmarks, including scarce types. The vast majority of the strikes are clear enough to make identification east. The ocean shades run from pale gray to deep blue, with one striking "black ocean": created by natural oxidization. This lot was put together by the collector over a long period of time for cancel interest only and is completely unchecked for re-entries or island varieties. An exceptional and rewarding winter philatelic project. Estimate =
