Portugal and Colonies

A pair of small homemade boxes (about the size of small shoebox each), from a vest-pocket dealer’s stock. About half of the material is Portuguese, the balance being from a number of colonies including Angola, Azores, Macau, Mozambique, Congo, Sao Tome, Portuguese India, etc. There is a mix of mint and used stamps up to the early 2000’s, sorted and identified by Scott number with each number getting its own glassine envelope (anywhere from 1 to about 50 copies in each glassine). Our conservative guess is that there are 1200x #5 sized (6" x 3.5") glassine envelopes, with well over 2,000 stamps. The stamps appear to be in decent condition and include some 19th century material with potential (including nice cancels). Estimate =
