Three volume "Sentinel" album collection stuffed with mostly used stamps up to year 2000. There is moderate coverage through the 1870s-1880s, with denominations up to 15c. The Columbian issue runs to 10c, noted a $1 Perry, a complete Pan-Am set, Trans-Mississippi to 8c and then very strong through the Washington/Franklin issues onwards. There might also be some potential interest for precancel and perfin collectors amongst the early 20th century material. The only stretch where there is any mint is from about 1940 to 1960 with mostly 3c-4c plate blocks, but did see a complete set of the Famous Americans. Where this collection surprisingly shines is in the 1990’s with postally used (in-period) sheetlets and souvenir sheets that includes the Columbus and Trans-Mississippi re-issues and the Celebration of the Century sheets (among many others). Also noted many of the higher denomination "Express" stamps, but no real "back of the book". The only frustrating part of this collection is that the album has coloured pages, and at times you have to take a second look to figure out if you are looking at a stamp or a picture. Keep this in mind when viewing the images of this lot. Well worth the conservative estimate given. Estimate =
