Germany Covers - Accumulation of over 130 commercial and philatelically inspired covers, mostly sent to Canada between 1977-1980. Besides the attractive use of stamps, including sets and souvenir sheets neatly hand cancelled, a number were sent by "value added" services, such as airmail, registration and special delivery, which increases the complexity of the rates covered. There are also a couple larger pieces not counted. A few have original letters inside. As over 40 years have passed since these were sent, there is more appreciation among collectors looking to exhibit rates from the period. Estimate =

Germany, States, Berlin, Occupation issues, Colonies #4/1054, B3/B471. Pre-1975 collection of almost everything (West) German in older Lighthouse springback binder, in decent condition. Starts with a mixed page of 17 German States issues (with some Bavaria later on in the album), and transitions quickly to a German Reich "sampler" group before settling down to a solid post-WWI grouping of mint and used, with lots of "hyper-inflation" and Third Reich material, with a good offering of post-war issues, including most of the good semi-postals (with set catalogue values up to $100.00), and mostly mint from the 1960’s onwards. The Berlin includes some overprints, some nice mint and used "Bells". Other occupied areas include Baden, Reinland-Pfalz, Wurttemberg, with a smattering of Colonial and Occupied issues and various issues from Saar (under various administrations). Pages run to 1965 and then quadrilled pages were used. About 2000 stamps (no souvenir sheets of note), with catalogue values that will add up quickly. Very lightly hinged. Estimate =

Great Britain - A pair of red, older, small format, stockbooks with a chaotic mixture of mostly used Victorian-era material, with a bit up to King George VI. Both look like they were used for organizing a collection or storing duplicates, during the 1970s, when this material catalogued significantly less. During that time, material was added, removed, and moved around. Sometimes with notations, often not. Overall, we see a few hundred stamps with substantial catalogue value that seem to be in reasonable condition, with lots of potential for studies of different printings and cancels. An "old school" lot. Estimate =

Great Britain - An astronomical value holding of 360 stamps within 27 retired APS (American Philatelic Society) circuit books. Stamps are predominantly used, with some of the books having been well picked, others barely touched, with "remaining value" being mostly in the $200.00 to $450.00 range per book (US Dollars). A wealth of Queen Victoria / Edward / George V used issued with MANY "schilling values", "seahorses" and high-values throughout. The remaining value (as retail) in these books adds up to an impressive $7500+, which when you consider that the stamps are generally priced at 20% of catalogue value, giving a potential catalogue value of over $37,000 (by 2006 Scott!!). A very nice opportunity for any collector looking to increase their holdings, or show / club / internet dealers looking to make a major addition to their stock. Estimate =

Album pages, dealer cards, stocksheets, a bit of everything here from a collector who bought faster than he could process. From Victorian issues up to about 1980, a mix of mint and used. Estimate =

Malta - Small handful from a local estate, with a wide range of mint and used going from the Victorian-era up to the early 1990’s. Several mounted collections are mixed with some dealer pages and glassines. Most have not been looked at for some time. Expect the mint to be hinged, and for some cancel potential amongst the used, with light duplication. A decent looking bundle of fun. Estimate =
| $140.00 |
