A pair of over-filled homemade boxes, from a vest-pocket dealer’s stock. Three quarters of the material is from New Zealand (starting with some Victorian-era material and concluding with some useful "back of the book" material). We also noted some representation from Nauru, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Penrhyn, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. There is a mix of mint and used stamps, sorted and identified by Scott number with each number getting its own glassine envelope. Anywhere from one to about 50 copies in each glassine, with our conservative guess being that there are 1400x #5 sized (6" x 3.5") glassine envelopes, with well over 3,500 stamps and including the occasional small-sized souvenir sheet. The stamps appear to be in decent condition, but to be expected, most of the material is more common. That being said, there are sure to be some hidden gems throughout. A good mix of stamps with material goes that up to the early 2000’s. Estimate =
