1 Anguilla #17/1096. Complete run of definitive issues 1967-2003 (less the first set), plus a near complete run of commemoratives with souvenir sheets for the years 1968-1979 arranged on neat homemade pages (stamps inside black mounts) in a red springback album. All stamps appeared to be in perfect NH condition. Great topical interest such as birds, butterflies, ships and fish (among others). Overlooked in their day, these issues have gained appreciation by collectors and catalogue makers alike. 2023 Scott US$739.00 = $997.65 $260.00
2 Australia #1/125. Organized selection of one hundred and eighteen stamps, mint and (mainly) used on three Hagner stock pages, all identified by the knowledgeable consignor, a long time collector. Mainly F/VF with the odd minor fault. Overall condition is much better than average. The mint hinged stamps are #1, 19, 20, 24, 24b, 26, 29, 67, 68, 73a, 76a (US$125.00 value) and 125.

4 Australia #J9-J16. First half of the second postage due set, overprinted "Specimen" (the high value was not overprinted, so this actually constitutes a complete run). Mint, with a range of no-gum to lightly hinged, a couple with stamp or album offset. The 3p value has a crease that is visible in the middle left hand side, through the Kangaroo. Still, the appearance is quite fresh. 2018 Stanley Gibbons catalogue value for a complete set of 14 is £1100.00 pro-rata is £550.00 ($946.00 CDN). Estimate = $200.00 $150.00
5 Australia - Eleven different mint coil pairs issued between 1937-53 (one of the 1/2d Kangaroos is watermarked, the other is not). Identifiable by the larger perforations in between the stamps, particularly in the middle, as these were intended to allow easier machine dispensing. Later issues were issued in sheet form. All are fresh, relatively well centered and lightly hinged. Includes the 2d KGVI Scarlet, SG 184a. Not listed in Scott catalogue. Total 2018 Stanley Gibbons £554.00 = $952.88 $150.00

Expect the mint to be hinged, but many of the used stamps have nice cancels.

Estimate = $180.00 $110.00

145 Canada - An all-Canadian catch-all, on pages and loose arranged within a small box (about the size of a large shoebox).

BC Local Post "Postal Strike" stamps, multiple Elizabethan complete booklets, "back of the book" on Minkus pages with a great showing of postage due / special delivery and OHMS perfins / "G" and "OHMS" overprints, hundreds of late GeoVI / early QEII mint plate blocks and GeoV to QEII mint and used booklet panes. We did not add the face value up, but it would be reasonable to say that there is at least $200.00 of face value alone in the Elizabethan booklets. A great lot needing a sort. Estimate = $300.00 $500.00
146 Canada - Annual Collections for 1974 & 1975. The two scarcest Canada Post Annual Collections, from the years 1974 and 1975. Very nice quality duo of the key early 8½ x 11 Post Office Yearbooks. Both complete with MNH stamps, the 1975 in sealed plastic sleeve and the 1974 with the original Canada Post envelope. The 1974 year set is the "punched" version, having received the 3-hole punch (as listed in the catalogue). Getting these is increasingly tougher, especially in as nice of shape as these two are. 2023 Unitrade = $335.00 $90.00
147 Canada - Annual Collections for 1976 to 1999. VF condition Annual Collections covering the years inclusively 1976 through 1999. These Canada Post yearbooks contain the mint NH stamps, souvenir sheets and booklets for these years. A high-quality group of these impressive and informative publications. Total face value of the mint NH stamps, panes and souvenir sheets in the 23 volumes is $510.27. 2023 Unitrade = $1,420.00 $250.00
148 Canada - Annual Collections for 2000-2013 plus Millennium Book. Complete run of the 2000 to 2013 (inclusive) editions of Canada Post yearbooks, all in pristine condition with matching slipcases, some of them unopened with intact original shrink wrap. These Canada Post publications contain the mint NH stamps, souvenir sheets and booklets for these 14 years plus an additional volume containing Millennium commemoratives in page-format which was unavailable elsewhere. A high-quality group of these impressive and informative publications. Total face value of the mint NH stamps, panes and souvenir sheets in the ten volumes plus the Millennium book is $723.49. 2023 Unitrade = $1,321.00 $500.00
149 Canada - Meaty Mint and Used Hoard in a Pizza Box. Wide ranging and valuable mint and used aggregation of several collections and stocks, all housed in a pizza sized box. The material includes "First Cents" issues, Large and Small Queens, a few Jubilees, then larger quantities of Leafs and Numerals Edwards and GeoV Admirals. Mint sets include the 1935 Champlain issue, the 1942-1943 War series, the 1946 Peace issue and more recent. A smattering of revenues rounds out this multi-thousand dollar catalogue value lot. Perfect quality lot for the reseller with a wide enough scope to please anyone. Estimate = $750.00 $290.00
150 Canada - Meticulous modern mint postage lot, nicely mounted on Vario pages (2-4 line) inside 4 "White Ace" brand albums with matching slip cases. Most stamps are from the 12c-$2 denomination, but noted the Millenium set, the 15c Geological sheetlet and the $2 Commonwealth Day issue. All appear to be very fine mint, never hinged condition. While there are several "premium" items and the Vario pages/ albums have significant value, this lot has been valued only by to the usable postage only. Total face value = $903.08 $550.00
151 Canada - Mint never hinged 1996-2008 "modern" collection housed in matching CWS brand deluxe padded hingeless albums (with slipcases). A colourful period in Canada Post's stamp issuing history, with the beginnings of transitions to both self-adhesive stamps and "P" permanent values. We noted better items, such as souvenir sheets, booklets, die-cuts and a complete set of the Millenium issue stamps. The retail on these albums alone is easily over $200.00. Conservatively valued for the usable face value postage only. Total face value = $250.08 $180.00
152 Canada Cancels - British Columbia MOON / MOTO cancels on stamp or piece. A choice offering (from the collection of renowned BC postal historian Andrew Scott) arranged alphabetically within TWO 16-page stockbooks. The MOON book boasts 243 postmarks, while the MOTO contains 169 postmarks. An interesting study, which shows (in many cases) the transition of the postmark in the Post Office from MOTO to MOON. The quality of strikes is well-above average for this material which would have taken MANY years to accumulate. Estimate = $200.00 $180.00
153 Canada Covers - An "Ontario and East" postcard dealer's stock consisting of 617 postcards, all individually sleeved and arranged within a cardboard "dealer show box". A nice array of cards here, including both early (pre-1920) material up to modern chromes. All are the standard "small" postcard size, with no larger continental size postcards. While most cards are in the $1-$5 range, there are sure to be a few gems lurking throughout. Estimate = $180.00 $190.00
154 Canada Covers - British Columbia 1906-1922 (Vancouver Island) Split Ring Postmarks. Seldom seen offering of 16 different split ring cancels from Vancouver Island, all selected for either quality of strike or rarity of postmark. This group of Edward / Admiral cards includes postmarks from Chase River 1912, Rocky Point 1913, Marigold 1916, Cobble Hill 1912, Crofton 1906, Ladysmith 1906, Sooke 1922, Oak Bay 1911, Sidney 1911, Alert Bay 1918, Bamfield 1907, Cowichan Station 1910, Keating 1907, Mount Tolmie 1920, Coburn 1907 and Maple Bay 1911. A nice selection of Vancouver Island offices, not often offered in large groups. Each item is individually sleeved and priced. Total retail as marked = $420.00 $70.00
155 Canada Covers - British Columbia 1907-1923 (Lower Mainland) Split Ring Postmarks. A dozen split ring cancels on Edward / Admiral postcards, all from the lower mainland region of the province. Offices included are Kerrisdale 1913, Eburne 1907, Eburne Station 1912, Jubilee Station 1919, Cumberland 1912, Fraser Avenue 1911, Port Coquitlam 1916, South Vancouver 1914, Point Grey 1916, East Burnaby 1913, Edmonds 1914 and Dunadrave 1923. An attractive group, with all items either selected for quality of strike or scarcity of office. Each item is individually sleeved and priced. Total retail as marked = $390.00 $80.00
156 Canada Covers - British Columbia 1908-1933 Split Ring Postmarks. A "bakers dozen" (13) selection of BC split ring cancels on postcard, all selected for either rarity or quality of strike.

An attractive lot, which spans the province (but with a clear affinity for the "Kootenay" region). Each item is individually sleeved and priced. Total retail as marked = $560.00 $160.00
157 Canada Covers - British Columbia 1915-1949 Split Ring Postmarks. A superb offering of 10 different BC split ring cancels, all on cover and selected for quality of strike (from the collection of renowned BC postal historian Bill Robinson). Towns include Metchosin 1928, Royston 1946, County Line 1945, Rayleigh Mount 1935, Columbia Gardens 1949, Thrums 1932, Flagstone 1938, Ewings Landing 1915, Graham Landing 1947 and Sweetwater 1932. A wonderful selection for any BC postal historian, or dealer looking to bolster their holdings. Each item is individually sleeved and priced. Total retail as marked = $380.00 $80.00
158 Canada Covers - British Columbia 1945-1966 Vancouver Advertising Covers. A visually striking selection of 21 GeoVI / QEII covers, each featuring an advertising corner for a Vancouver area business. Some of the businesses include Canned Animal Food, Service Stations, Trucking, "Rod and Gun", Building Contractors, Flowers and Mushrooms. A nice "throw-back" to a more classic era of advertising. Each item is individually sleeved and priced. Total retail as marked = $210.00 $75.00
159 Canada Covers - British Columbia Postal History. Incoming mail to Victoria 1876-1883, a trio of incoming items mailed from Great Britain to Victoria, in the early days of the province. These historically important items are getting harder to find. A great lot for the historian to piece together the "story behind the cover" on each item. Estimate = $140.00 $110.00
160 Canada Covers - British Columbia Postcards. Dealer's stock consisting of 340 postcards, all individually sleeved and arranged within a cardboard "dealer show box". You could almost divide the contents / representation of this lot into "thirds" with 1/3 being Vancouver, 1/3 being Victoria and 1/3 being the "rest of BC". A little bit of everything from classic postcard period (pre-1920) to modern chromes, with all being the standard "small" postcard size (no continental size postcards). A great lot for the collector or show / internet dealer. Estimate = $140.00 $80.00
161 Canada Covers - British Columbia. Two batches of cover lots combined into one. Part ONE includes 400 ALL DIFFERENT modern BC hand cancels on #10-sized commercial covers, mostly recent 2015-2016 POCON / RC (retail centre) markings and other specialty types, all being selected strikes. Lots of small towns and new datestamps here, which are not often seen and actually much scarcer than "traditional" earlier postmark material. PART TWO comprises of 300 recent Canadian "WING" cancels on mostly #10-sized covers (15 are #8-sized), mainly 2014-2016 dates. Plus an additional 50 "wings" on piece with strength in Alberta and Quebec. Minor duplication, and although this is a "BC" lot, there are 75 covers and the 50 "wings" on piece from other provinces. Includes the BC wing list from the BC Postal History Study Group. Estimate = $150.00 $70.00
162 Canada Covers - First Day Covers / British Columbia Postmarks. An interesting and unusual lot of 353 First Day Covers, dated 2000-2002, each bearing an unusual "modern" illustrated cachet and being cancelled from around the province of BC (in particular Vancouver Island). The postmarks in this group are quite interesting, as the collector made a point of travelling to all-ends of the province to acquire postmarks from as many different BC post offices as he could. A huge variety of postmarks, including many "modern" offices and illustrated postmarks which were often only open or used for a short-period. These are totally unchecked and "one of a kind" as they were made by the collector for his own collection. Estimate = $200.00 $95.00
163 Canada Covers - First Day Covers. A choice mostly-modern FDC accumulation consisting of 532 first day covers from the 2006-2017 period (lightly duplicated). A superior mix of covers, including many "P" values (including the multiple "P" value souvenir sheets) and mixed value souvenir sheets of the time. Conservatively valued at the total face value of the stamps alone (even though these sold at a premium over face value at time of issue). A far "newer" mix than we usually see. Total face value = $695.81 $290.00
164 Canada Covers - First Day Covers. Accumulation in a small box consisting of 563 Canada Post issued FDC, primarily from the mid-1980's to early 2000's with duplication. We noted a variety of issues here, with many corner block frankings including a stack of "Masterpieces of Canadian Art" 1988 large format FDC with corner blocks. Conservatively valued at the total face value of the stamps alone (even though these sold at a premium over face value at time of issue). Total face value = $726.01 $190.00
165 Canada Covers - First Day Covers. Collection in 4 older "White Ace" brand binders with black slipcovers. About 330 covers from 1970 to early 2000’s, all housed in 2-pocket Vario pages. The vast majority with Canada Post cachets and unaddressed. We noted an example of the 38c Regiments lower right plate block, a set of the Millenium issue and a cover signed by PE Trudeau (while he was Prime Minister). Significant initial cost and good value in the pages / supplies alone. Estimate = $200.00 $210.00
166 Canada Covers - Manitoba Postmarks. Comprehensive collection in 7 binders containing 700 covers from 302 towns (no Winnipeg) with CDS, Registered, boxed and roller cancels from (seemingly) every rural post office left open in Manitoba, with about 10 closed offices. The envelopes were sent to Post Offices "undercover" to be mailed back to the sender (W.G. Robinson of Vancouver) with an example of the postmark for his collection. Considerable time and postage went into this assembly. Estimate = $140.00 $55.00
167 Canada Covers - Postal Stationery. Two deluxe Lighthouse brand 3-ring binders (with slipcases) containing 211 of the 1970's issued illustrated postal stationery postcards. Primarily used, but with favor cancels as these cards have been unbelievably elusive to find legitimately postally used and almost all sets we see are unused. While we have seen favor cancelled sets before, the nice thing about this group is that almost all of the "used" examples are cancelled at Post Offices within the city, town or Province depicted on the illustrated side of the card. The albums alone would also easily retail for over $100.00. Estimate = $120.00 $160.00
168 Canada Covers - Potpourri of Postal History. A fascinating array of Canadian postal history QV to QEII, offered are received from overseas. Noted many better items such as Small Queens (including registered rates / foreign destinations), First Day Covers, Stamp Dealer Mail, 1c Circular (franked with Canada #14), WWII Military Mail, Northern Postal History, Illustrated Covers, Picture Postcards and Postmarks. There is even an 8c Registered Letter Stamps (F3) on cover, but sadly...it was added at a later date. A total of 148 items, sure to please any postal historian or dealer. Estimate = $350.00 $425.00
169 Canada Covers - Toronto "Station C" or "Station E" specialized collection of "ORB" postmarks. The "ORB" postmark is a very distinct 2 or 3 ring larger CDS postmark, introduced in the 1890's and seen used into the 1950's. Assembled over my years, this lot comprised of 185 covers or postcards and several pieces / stamps. These are primarily all from the GeoV Admiral period, in which this postmark saw its primary use. The PHSC (Postal History Society of Canada) has a wonderful database of these markings, which are still somewhat readily found in dealer boxes and much cheaper than other distinct postmark types of the period (squared circle, split rings etc). Estimate = $150.00 $130.00
170 Canada Covers - Western Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) Postcards. Dealer's stock consisting of 325 postcards, all individually sleeved and arranged within a cardboard "dealer show box". A nice variety of cards, from classic period (pre-1920) to the modern chromes, with all being the standard "small" postcard size (no continental size postcards). While most cards are likely in the $1-$5 range, the quantity alone should make this an attractive group for any collector or dealer. Estimate = $120.00 $130.00
171 Canada Perfins - Commercial (Private) Perfins. Older (and a bit battered) 16-page stock book containing 1,535 duplicated Canadian perfins running alphabetically from B to W. While the reigns represented run from GeoV up through early QEII, there seems to be very decent strength in Admiral issues (including War Tax). Some faults to be expected but the lot seems to be unpicked for perfin positions and varieties, stamp shades or papers etc. Take a good look at the scans to evaluate the scope and overall quality of the lot. Valued at less than 25c per stamp. Estimate = $325.00 $210.00
172 Canada Precancels - A "Town and City" Type Selection. Lightly duplicated selection of early to mid-20th century "Town and City" type precancels on EdwardVII, GeoV and GeoVI period definitives. Valued by the consignor using the basic 2020 Unitrade catalogue listings (Unitrade doesn't differentiate between bar or town precancels). Some faults noted but completely unchecked for varieties or better towns. Owner's 2020 Unitrade = $358.30 $120.00
173 Canada Precancels - Dealer’s stock, Queen Victoria to 1970’s, with strength in King George V issues. Include "bars", many different town types and MOON numbered overprints. Arranged within a small box, the group includes a mounted collection in a springback album, a stockbook and some loose pages and a shoebox worth of glassines and "102 cards" that haven’t seen the light of day in over 40 years (saw stamps priced at 2c each!). A look indicates that there is potential here for the dedicated hunter. Estimate = $200.00 $210.00
174 Canada Precancels - Precancel collection of 575 different stamps, mounted on Hagner stockpages. Includes some "Bars" (#T82, T-75-VD, T79, D-35). Amongst the town issues there are $3-$10 items everywhere, but noted Moncton 2-116-D (cat $200), Montreal 2-95, 3-91, Kitchener 1-119, Ottawa "ND" perfin P3-110 (cat $100), and many MOON styles. Condition is a bit mixed, but this is a great lot to start from, or to fill holes. Estimate = $250.00 $600.00
175 Canada Precancels - Two Volume Precancel Hoard. Thousands of semi-sorted duplicated precancels, housed in two stockbooks, ranging from nicely varied Victorian era roller types, up through numerous bar types (including modern) and a huge quantity of city types. The first stockbook contains pages of roller and bar types as well as the city types mostly for Montreal, Toronto and Quebec (but still saw smaller quantities of other cities in the mix). The second stockbook contains alphabetically organized city types (Brandon to Woodstock). Offered as received from a European source, the lot appears to be completely unpicked. Decades of careful accumulation here, and as such this material should prove to be a goldmine for the general precancel collector, the precancel variety specialist and the precancel dealer looking for fresh and "new to the market" stock. Sure to be finds here for the intrepid precancel student. Estimate = $600.00 $425.00
176 Canada Revenues #BCL38/BCL63. VF mint selection of 8 different 1942 to 1981 issue British Columbia Provincial Law stamps, all in Never Hinged blocks of four.

177 Canada Revenues #BCL57a, BCL57 (x 3). British Columbia Law Stamps. VF MNH lower left corner block of four of the $10.00 light red provincial law stamp from the eleventh 1958-1970 "Standing Justice" series.Note the van Dam catalogue listed "flaw above C of COLUMBIA" in the upper left stamp in the block (#BCL57a, plate position #16).

Clean and well organized all used duplicated (1 to 10 of each) stock of 36 different Federal Unemployment Insurance stamps. 212 stamps in total, 1941 to 1955 period issues. Better individual values include #FU19, FU26, FU36 and FU37. A much nicer than usual quality offering. 2022 van Dam = $1,402.00 $110.00
179 Canada Revenues #MW1, MW1c. City of Winnipeg Wildlife Conservation stamp. Complete MNH sheet of 100 of the 1967 issue turquoise Canada Goose stamp. The sheet shows all the mixed perf types (in rows 3, 6 and 9). Catalogued as 30 vertical strips of three showing different perfs (#MW1c) and ten regular singles (#MW1). 2022 van Dam = $490.00 $32.00
180 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #1, 3, 5, 8. Problematic mint and used quartet of pence issue imperfs, consisting of #1 (mint no gum, thinned), #3 (mint no gum corner crease), #5 (used, thinned) and #8 (mint no gum, close cut). A good lot for the Provincial pre-Confederation bargain hunter. 2023 Scott Classic US$1,925.00= $2,598.75 $140.00
181 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #3. VF mint no gum example of the 1857 issue 3p green triangle imperf. Full margins on all sides. 2024 Scott US$1,000.00 = $1,350.00 $130.00

183 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #78/103. Selection of twenty-six mainly Mint hinged (a few NH also noted) stamps in mostly F/VF condition. The Guy issue (1910) is not quite complete, missing the 6c and the 10c from both the lithographed and engraved issues as well as the 12c. A few perf varieties from the 1910 issue are also included. A very attractive group in unusually attractive appearance and condition. Consignor's 2019 Scott US$1,027.00 = $1,386.45 $190.00
184 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #145-159, 163-171, 172-182. The three 1928-1931 issues complete in mint Hinged mainly VF condition. Thirty-six stamps, including #148a. Nice to get them all at once, especially in this condition. Consignor's 2019 Scott US$517.85 = $699.10 $95.00
185 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #C2, C2a. Fine Mint lightly-hinged examples of the 1919 Alcock-Brown "Trans Atlantic Air Post 1919, One Dollar" overprinted airmail issues showing both the "comma after Post" and "no comma after Post" variety. A nice duo, accompanied by a hand-written write up done by the original owner. 2022 Scott US$450.00 = $607.50 $170.00
186 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #C3. Clean example of the 1921 "Airmail to Halifax N.S. 1921" overprinted airmail issue on first flight cover, destined for Halifax. The first flight left Botwood, but ran into engine troubles which forced an emergency landing. On restarting the plane, the Pilot (Major Cotton) was injured and the remainder of the flight was cancelled, with the mail sent by train (and ship) to Halifax. Attractively written up on album page. 2022 Scott Specialized US$225.00 = $303.75 $65.00

188 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #C12. VF used example of the 1932 "Dornier Do-X" overprinted airmail issue. The surcharge, applied to the C11 "Historic Flights" issue was limited to only 8000 copies, with used examples (in our opinion) being tougher to acquire than their Mint counterpart. Attractively written up on the original owner’s album page. 2023 Unitrade for VF used is $450.00. 2023 Scott US$275.00 = $371.25 $190.00
189 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #C13-C17.

195 Ethiopia #M1-M2. Wholesale dealer lot of pair and blocks, with a few singles. All appear to be mint, never hinged and well centered, but a number of gum bends are noted. Of particular note are the two low values from the Italian Occupation issue, in which there are 146 copies of M1 (cat $16.00 each) and 99 copies of M2 (cat $14.00 each). Attractive and great potential for online sales or show dealers. Total 2023 Scott catalogue value US$3722.00 = $5,024.00 $270.00
196 Faroe Islands #3/720. Hingeless Davo album (with slipcase) with pages to 2017 features a very complete, mostly used collection (exceptions are #6 and issues up to about 1983).

The album has very few empty spaces and the stamps are clean in every aspect. 2023 Scott catalogue value US$1632.90 = $2,204.40 $210.00
197 Faroe Islands #7/408. Complete run of year sets from 1975-2001, most in original plastic sleeve. Includes sets and singles but no booklet stamps.

198 Faroe Islands #7/640. First Day Cover collection in Post Office branded Davo 2-post albums with cardboard slipcases. Magnificent, very complete run including souvenir sheets on cacheted, unaddressed covers. Where there is duplication, it is usually because of singles and complete sets being represented. A couple are signed (awaits your research). The stamp value of some of the more recent items is up to $25 a cover. Enormous catalogue value here, with a total 489 covers. Estimated at just over $1 per cover, which would be a fraction of the catalogue value. Estimate = $500.00 $210.00
199 Faroe Islands #8/770. Post Office issued postcards and Maxi-cards in 5 matching red Unisafe postcard albums with slipcases covering the period of 1975-2018. We noted that all are standard size cards, so no larger sized issues. Very complete from 1990 onwards.

The catalogue values of these panes really adds up quickly. Total 2023 Scott catalogue value US$4263.00 = $5,755.05 $260.00
206 Faroe Islands #409/720. Mint NH stamps featured in soft-cover year set folders, complete run 2002-2018, includes souvenir sheets but not booklets. Many have been opened, but the overall condition seems excellent. 2023 Scott US$1493.70 = $2,016.50 $280.00
207 Faroe Islands #454/593. The 2005-2007 issues in complete Mint NH panes of 20, then 2008-2012 issues in blocks of four (the collector’s wallet may have had enough of the ever-increasing issues...and cost), but there are also some souvenir sheets from the period to make up for it. Stamps are in the condition as if they left the Post Office yesterday and are housed in 1-3 pocket Vario brand pages. Enormous initial cost.

Finishes with mint and CTO machine issue labels (not listed in Scott, but given everything else from this time period, likely has a high face value). Catalogue value of the booklets alone US$855.00 = $1154.25 CDN. Estimate = $200.00 $90.00

An intriguing collections which features 40 covers each cancelled from a different small town, most with matching registration label (circa 1980) and a matching set of postcards depicting 40 towns (we didn’t check each one, but they are likely the same 40 towns).

212 France #14/397, J3/J10, M2/M9, P7/P8, N2, B2/B88, C5/C16. Taken from old style Scott representative World Wide album housing issues to 1940, these thirteen pages of used stamps (a few MH) are not complete but are still very comprehensive and represent a major contribution to a full collection of this classic philatelic period. The "Back of the Book" issues are somewhat less complete than the regular issues but the collection does offer the seldom seen #N2. Consignor's 2019 Scott US$1,448.10= $1,954.94 $325.00
213 France #2168. Fluorescent Paper Variety. VF mint NH example of the 1989 issue "Philex-France" souvenir sheet, printed on the rare fluorescent paper. This variety is recognized by all the major catalogues including Scott (see footnotes). This paper type usually appeared in sheets that were packaged in Post Office collector's packs destined for foreign countries, and as such were scattered to the four corners of the globe. We don't get these often. 2023 Scott US$400.00 = $540.00 $70.00
214 France #C8-C13, C27, C34-C36, C37-C40. All mint NH selection of 14 different 1936 to 1960 period airmails. While the #C27 has a few handling bends, the balance are all perfect VF mint NH. A colourful and fresh group. Owner's 2023 Scott US$ 451.00 = $608.85 $75.00

Used accumulation of the 1853 issue 3 Kreuzer black on green paper. 104 stamps in total, unchecked for varieties or better postmarks (these 5-ring numeral postmarks are very popular and collectable).

Sound and choice "Sock on the Nose" used example of the Scott Classic (#25) and Michel catalogue (Mi #22b) listed deep orange (Scott) /deep yellow orange (Michel) shade of the 1862 issue 30 Kreutzer perf 10 x 10 high value. The crisp and legible "UEBERLINGEN 4 JAN '65" postmark, as well as the "SCHAFER" guarantee handstamp add significantly to the used value and appeal of this German State classic and the "ist echt" Stegmuller photo certificate is the "icing on the cake". Valued in the 2019 Michel catalogue at 3,200 euros (= $4,720.00 CAD). This stamp will be at home in any top flight German collection and is, needless to say, missing from most German area collections we see. 2023 Scott Classic US$2,250.00 = $3,037.50 $325.00
219 Germany - Afrika Korps Feldpost. Michel #5a. Mint no gum example of the 1943 "Palm Tree" WWII fieldpost label, issued in Tunis for postal use by the German forces in the North African theatre of operations. This is the Michel catalogue noted printing on thicker paper stock. 2019 Michel catalogue 180.00 euros = $266.00 $70.00
220 Germany - Bankers Box of covers / postcards 1960's to 1990's (with a few earlier) including a wide variety of frankings and rates (with many to Canada). Assembled over many years by a traditional stamp collector (not necessarily a cover collector), these were deemed to be "more interesting" and therefore, worth keeping. There are likely over 2000 items here, surely with some hidden gems to be found by the patient sorter. Conservatively estimated at less than 8c per cover! Estimate = $150.00 $110.00
221 Germany - DDR / Berlin - Late 1960's to early 1980's batch of First Day Covers and special event / postmark covers.

222 Germany - Kurland - Michel #1-3, 4A, 4B. VF mint NH complete run of all the late WWII provisional "KURLAND" overprints on stamps issued to German troops fighting the Soviets in the Kurland Pocket (East Prussia).

The issue date of these Military stamps is April 20th 1945 and the war ended shortly thereafter. Each and every of these stamps has the appropriate guarantee handstamp. Great to get them all at once, especially Never Hinged and authenticated. 2019 Michel catalogue 250.00 euros = $370.00 $170.00
223 Germany - Postal History Accumulation. Small box containing 475 covers and postcards, primarily from the 1890's to 1950's with a wide array of frankings, rates and usages. These covers were put aside by a more traditional "stamps only" collector, as they were deemed to be more interesting. A great lot for a show or internet dealer to break apart, or for a collector of postal history to bolster their holdings while having the fun of sorting at the same time. Estimate = $200.00 $130.00

Well centered but with a heavy cancel, "HSB" perfin and repaired lower right corner.

226 Great Britain #96, 108-109. Sound and F/VF used trio of large format 1883-1884 issue Queen Victoria high values, consisting of the 2sh6p lilac, 5sh carmine rose and 10sh ultramarine.

Noted "famous men", whales, art (to name a few). Excellent condition, all in a three-ring Scott Specialty album with matching slipcase. Estimate = $200.00 $160.00
260 Greenland #358/631. Mint collection of blocks of various sizes and quantities, issued between 2000-2012 (after 2008 most issues are down to a single block... not surprising given the significant cost to keep up this level of acquisition). Includes the Art, mining, tourism issues, along with some souvenir sheets. Nicely displayed on 2, 3 or 4-pocket Vario stockpages, with most identified by both Scott and Facit, all in a solid three-ring Scott Specialty binder with matching slipcase. A great way to build a collection or to break up and sell. 2023 Scott US$5337.00 = $7,474.95 $350.00
261 Greenland #B1/B44. Semi-Postals, near complete up to 2015 with mint (singles and blocks, all never hinged), used (most cancelled to order), with souvenir sheets and matching first day covers. Includes better like B15 with 2 mint blocks and a first day cover. Mounted on black Vario-brand stockpages (1 to 4 pockets) and in a Scott Specialty binder with matching slipcase. Bonus is 16 complete sheets of Christmas seals issued by the post office between 1979/2005, which are not counted in the total catalogue value. 2023 Scott US$1291.70 = $1,743.80 $140.00
262 Greenland - Assorted single issue presentation packs or year folders issued between 1978-2014. We counted 45 assorted issues, including the 2-volume "Ships" issues. Many of the packs have been opened and the stamps have been put into the mounts. Includes an attractive example of a softcover book: "Stories of Greenland Stamps". The original post office cost of these folders would be substantial. Estimate = $160.00 $65.00
263 Greenland - Group of "Polar Bear" parcel post stamps. Lot includes 4 original stamps which are Q4B (mint), Q6 (mint and used) and Q6a (mint) along with reprint sheets from the 1980’s and more modern issues, including souvenir sheets and a recent post office booklet.

Lot concludes with 16 Gentolfe Cinderella label sheets (a neighbourhood in Copenhagen, Denmark, that apparently has close ties to Greenland) issued between 1982-1990. Estimate = $180.00 $190.00
264 Greenland - Scott Specialty Album (3-ring with matching slipcase), filled with a variety of smaller collections including... 1) Assorted used single stamps up to the 1990’s most with first day cancels. 2) Selection of printed postage labels 2007-2016, comprising of 52 mint and used, plus 16 first day covers...not listed in Scott, but have significant face value. 3) Souvenir sheets and sheetlets (these alone catalogue US$1449.00). Estimate = $250.00 $290.00
265 Greenland and Faroe Islands - A couple hundred used on stamp/piece, most 1990-2010 and most from Post Office mailings, so the stamps are in good shape and nicely cancelled. We noted many better values with catalogue values above $30.00 each (such as #249 and 497). Expect some duplication, but an excellent group to build a collection, or keep what you want and then make circuit books, online sales, etc. Estimate = $130.00 $110.00
266 Hong Kong #3/414, J1/J10. Hong Kong Hoard. Duplicated mint and (mostly) used group of 302 stamps, 1862 to 1983 period issues, definitives and commemoratives. All laid out in chronological order on Hagner brand stock sheets. While some faults can be expected, the lot is completely unchecked for varieties or better postmarks. Take a good look at the scans. Owner's 2024 Scott US$3,440.15 = $4,644.20 $475.00
267 Hong Kong #168, 170, 175. Trio of George VI issues in Mint NH singles, blocks and part sheets, likely put away at time of issue, or survived at the Post Office (in the case of the 1941 issues), during the WWII Japanese occupation. Includes 36x #168, 170x #170 and 172x #175. Generally VF NH, but noted a couple minor bends, but also includes selvedge and inscription examples. Catalogued as regular stamps only. Total 2022 Scott US$1086.50 = $1,466.78 $190.00

269 Iceland #745e/1379a. Sheets, souvenir sheetlets of 20, booklets, 1988-1989, 1991 year sets and a couple of first day covers. All being "larger" items from the late 1980's until 2015.

270 Iceland #870/1362. Larger sized year folders (annual collections), a complete run of 16 from 1999-2014, including souvenir sheets. While there might be a couple of minor faults with the folders themselves, the stamps appear to be in great condition. A great way to build a modern Icelandic collection, with no premium for the year sets. Total 2023 Scott US$1248.55 = $1,685.54 $160.00
271 India #203-206. Mint hinge-remnant set of the "In Memoriam" issue for what would have been the 80th birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, issued one year after his death. Very attractive, but with hinge remnants, and in the process of trying to remove the hinge from the 10R value, caused a small thin at the top. Still a fresh looking set, one of the key issues of India. 2023 Scott US$557.50 = $752.63 $110.00
272 Indochina #B8-B13. Complete Mint hinged set of the 1919 surcharged "Orphans of War" charity issue. Post Office fresh colour, a seldom-seen "French Colony" OVPT semi postal set. 2023 Scott US$242.35 = $327.17 $150.00
273 Israel #17/1072 plus some Back of the Book. Nice run of mint Israel, all with tabs. Includes singles until the mid-1960s and then transitions into blocks or strips. A few of the early issues are hinged, but the vast majority are never hinged. All housed in 2-volumes with over 100 x 2-5 pocket Vario-brand pages (significant value in the pages alone). A fresh and very complete offering for the period covered. Estimate = $200.00 $160.00
274 Israel #321/962 plus Back of the Book. Selection of 400 different First Day Covers, very complete from 1968-87 and then a bit thinner until 1990. All are cacheted and unaddressed. Nicely arranged on over 100 Vario 2-pocket pages, and housed in 3 volumes (1 is a Scott Specialized binder). The "as new" cost of the supplies alone in this lot is close to $200. A very clean offering. Estimate = $160.00 $110.00
275 Italy Aegean Islands - Rhodes #15-23. Fresh, sound and VF mint OG H/HR complete 1929 "Visit of the King and Queen to the Aegean Islands" commemorative set of 10. 2023 Scott US$458.50 = $618.98 $130.00
276 Italy Triese #Q10. Mint NH example of the 200 Lira parcel post intact pair, with 2-line overprint "AMG FTT", issued under the Allied Military Government for a Free Trieste just after World War II. This is one of the key issues from this time period. Never hinged, but with an owner’s or authentication mark on the reverse. Very minor toning at the right-hand side. 2023 Scott US$575.00 = $776.25 $50.00
277 Laos #1/706 plus Back of the Book. Enticing 4-volume collection and exhibit of mostly very-fine mint never hinged material including sheetlets and sets (both perf and imperf), supplemented by first day covers. Some work will be needed to put order to this collection, but much has been identified by Scott numbers with some minor duplication. We noted many Vario brand 1-5 strip black pages used, which add to the value of this lot from a "supplies" viewpoint. A somewhat under-appreciated corner of South-East Asia, which has been growing in popularity over the years. Estimate = $300.00 $625.00
278 Laos - Selection of 26 sheetlets extracted from Presentation Booklets, 2 sunken die proofs, 4 deluxe proofs, 2 souvenir sheets, one imperforate strip with colour trials and three presentation booklets from 1964 with souvenir sheets which were different printings from the regular issues. Most of these items are identified, and often priced in various footnotes in Scott. Overall condition is excellent, being a choice offering for an advanced collection or exhibit. Estimate = $200.00 $200.00
279 Lebanon #220-224, C141-145. 1948 UNESCO imperforate souvenir sheet on thin card (ungummed), with Arabic and French inscriptions. A striking piece, in excellent condition. Seldom seen and mentioned in Scott as a footnote to C145. 2023 Scott US$250.00 = $337.50 $160.00

282 Namibia #659/966. Nearly complete offering of 1990’s Namibia, soon after it emerged from Southwest Africa. Lot includes a collection of mint never hinged singles, sets and souvenir sheets, as well as a substantial number of sheetlets of 10 or corner blocks. These issues are rife with topical interest including fish, trains, fossils, lunar new year and animals. Better sets include the 1997 definitives and the Hong Kong takeover. There are also a number of booklets (some CTO), presentation packs and over 100 first day covers. Nicely housed in two 4-ring tan coloured Lighthouse binders with slip cases (worth over $100 retail alone). Total 2023 Scott catalogue value US$1,040.80 = $1,405.08 $350.00
283 New Zealand #51/139. Almost all used specialized collection of 72 stamps (#73 is MNH), Victorian and Edwardian period issues, all mounted on 17 computer generated album pages. Expect the odd small fault in the earlies. Varieties have been noted in the 1st and 2nd issues of "Sidefaces" and the 1st pictorials have been identified into London and local printings. Also included are detailed study pages of the 1d "Dominion" issues with the owner's four page write-up identifying printings. Much of the EdwardVII material has been separated into various shades and perfs. All valued by the consignor by 2018 Scott catalogue. Owner's 2018 Scott US$544.65= $735.28 $95.00
284 New Zealand #223/2335 plus Back of the Book. Almost all used selection of 1937 to 1998 GeoVI and QEII period issues, all mounted on computer generated album pages.

Documentation in the lot includes a write-up on the "Round Kiwi " issue. All valued by the consignor using the 2018 Scott catalogue. Owner's 2018 Scott US$1,500.00 = $2,025.00 $120.00
285 Poland - The 2nd Polish Corps in Italy 1946. Group of 3 Mint souvenir sheets, comprising 1 Lire, 3 Lire and 5 Lire single value sheets. The stamp element of the sheets are Mint NH, but the sheets themselves have some margin faults (in particular the 1L value).

286 Portugal #2/748. Mint hinged and used selection of 1853-1952 period issues running from the early imperfs up to early 1950s commemoratives. 33 stamps in total, all laid out and catalogued on one stocksheet. Valued by the consignor with a considerably older Scott catalogue. Owner's 2005 Scott US$712.00 = $961.20 $80.00
287 Rhodesia #3/140. All Mint hinged (including a few NH) duplicated selection of 44 1890-1917 period issues, consisting of 1890-1894 "Coat of Arms" types and the 1913 to 1917 GeoV "Admiral" types. Includes lots of perf varieties and shades. Expect the odd small fault. A good group for further specialist inspection. Owner's 2021 Scott US$622.75 = $840.71 $50.00
288 Saint Kitts Nevis #1/74, MR1-MR2. Almost all different mint Hinged and used selection of 1903 to 1935 period EdwardVII and GeoV issues, all laid out, identified and priced on one Hagner stock sheet. Saw values to 10sh and other useful singles. 2023 Scott US$359.65= $485.53 $140.00
289 Saint Lucia #2, 3. Fresh and sound used examples of the 1860 issue 4p blue and 6p green Victorias, both watermark 5 (small star). A tough early classic caribbean duo. 2023 Scot US$400.00 = $540.00 $140.00
290 Saint Lucia #6/194, MR1-MR2. Mint and used 95% different 1863 to 1964 period selection of 66 stamps, all laid out, identified and valued on two Hagner brand stock sheets. The lot includes a thinned mint #4 which is not counted in the total. Except for the off small fault in the balance of the lot, the condition tends to be fresh and F/VF. Almost all of the catalogue value is in GeoV, EdwardVII and Victorian era material. 2023 Scott US$718.50= $969.88 $110.00
291 Saint Lucia #17, 19, 20, 22, 23. Colourfully fresh and sound used quintet of 1881 to 1884 engraved Queen Victoria issues, both watermark 1 (Crown and CC) and watermark 2 (Crown and CA) types. An eye-catching selection! 2023 Scott Classic US$333.50 = $450.23 $130.00
292 Saint Lucia #27/39, 27a/37a, 40a, 41, 42. Almost all CDS used (#27a is mint and #39 has a revenue cancel, so not counted in total) selection of 21 different 1983 to 1898 period issues. All organized by the collector for the "A" and "B" Die types with a trio of provisional surcharges to round out the group. 2023 Scott Classic US$284.10= $383.54 $44.00

Very useful duplicated mint and used selection of early to recent issues from this historic North American French possession, all laid out on four stock pages.

297 South Africa RSA - Collection of 270 First Day Covers 1961-1991 (with the majority being from the 1970's / 1980's), accumulated within a small box. There are two specialized South Africa FDC albums, one being filled with covers and the other empty (with presumably the loose covers in the box being intended to fill it). A nice range of topical issues throughout, as is typical of the colorful issues from South Africa of this time period. Estimate = $120.00 $95.00
298 Sweden - Used 19th Century Selection. All used selection of 28 different 1858 to 1879 period issues consisting of both the "Coat of Arms" and "Numeral of Value" types. Includes several perf varieties. Expect the odd small fault in the mix. Owner's 2021 Scott US$ 1,098.50 = $1,482.98 $90.00

300 Switzerland - Cover / FDC / Postcard / Maximum Card HOARD Part 1. U-haul box filled with albums containing a total of 935 covers or cards (plus an additional 232 stamps, mostly in sets). Includes cachet FDC, special event covers, illustrated postmarks and first flight covers. There is also a wide array of topical interest including space, trains, ships, animals, mountaineering etc. Primarily 1970's to 1990's material, but with the odd item mixed in throughout that does not fall into that period. All items are neatly arranged and stored within cover albums of various makes (worth a bit on their own!). Enormous catalogue value in the stamps alone (especially if done by the Swiss Zumstein catalogue). Conservatively estimated at less than 20 cents per item. Estimate = $180.00 $130.00
301 Switzerland - Cover / FDC / Postcard / Maximum Card HOARD Part 2. U-haul box filled with 10 albums and a single shoebox, all stuffed with First Day Covers from the 1950's to 1990's with the majority from the latter period. A grand total of 992 covers, including an attractive prepared collection of 1980's / 1990's "Feldpost" cachet covers. A nice showing of topical material, with most covers bearing blocks or full sets for each issue. As with the previous lot, the stamps alone would add up tremendously by catalogue value. Conservatively estimated at less than 20c per item. Estimate = $180.00 $130.00
302 Switzerland / Supplies - Two green Lighthouse brand 4-ring cover albums (with matching slipcases) filled with 320 Swiss First Day Covers from 1982-2000. The First Day Covers are in excellent condition, with a wide range of topical interest issues as the Switzerland Post Office is well-known for producing, often in sets or blocks rather than singles. The alums themselves would easily retail for over $100.00. A nice clean lot. Estimate = $120.00 $110.00
303 Tannu Tuva #15-28, 29-34, 45a-52a, C1-9. Choice group of four different Mint hinged sets including the 1927 Pictorials, 1932 "Romanization of the Alphabet" surcharges, 1934 Pictorials (imperforate Scott listed variety) and the 1934 Airmail issue. Fresh colours throughout, with stunning imagery as found on the stamps of this Republic. 2023 Scott US$218.30 = $294.71 $120.00
304 Tobago #1/26. Used (and a few mint no gum) selection of 11 different 1879 to 1896 period Victorian era issues including the first issues and better surcharges. An elusive assemblage. 2023 Scott US$601.60= $812.16 $220.00
305 Turks, Caicos, Turks and Caicos Islands #1/977 plus War Tax. Dealer stock on 22 manilla stocksheets. There is some Victorian-era material, but the best is post 1970 with blocks and souvenir sheets. There is a bit of duplication. All pages have Scott numbers to aid organization and identification. Over 1000 stamps in total. Estimate = $200.00 $65.00
306 United Nations #465b/587 plus Scott unlisted. Vienna-issued "Personalized Postage" label sheets from 2007 to 2016. Interestingly, the first few issues are not numbered by Scott, as they indicate in notes where the sheets would be listed, but there is evidence that the sheets were never issued out of Vienna. Interesting enough, as then the Scott catalogue goes onto describe the sheet and price it! Sometimes the themes overlap the New York issues, sometimes they don’t. A few of these issues had up to three printings, most of which are included here. A few of the sheets also come with a matching CTO equivalent. Overall, in excellent condition, and quite scarce as indicated by the total catalogue value. 2023 Scott US$1605.00 = $2,166.75 $75.00
307 United Nations #857a. The 2003 New York "Personalized Postage" label sheets, with 10x 37c stamps and a matching label. All described and priced in Scott, some within footnotes. Very scarce material that had a high original selling price, which often scared / discouraged collectors at the time of issue. Includes a) the basic sheet b) 1 sheet with personalized photos included (unavailable through mail-in service, you had to buy them at the New York office in person) c) Hong Kong Stamp Expo (1000 produced) d) Essen Stamp Show e) "My visit to New York" (a generic sheet that was always stamped CTO). All in excellent condition. Total 2023 Scott US$620.00 = $837.00 $42.00
308 United Nations #884a. Pair of mint 2005 issue 80c rate "Personalized Postage" label sheets. As often happens with these trial printings, the second issue is even scarcer. One sheet is the basic sheet, the other was issued for the Riccione Italy stamp show. Both sheets are in great shape and very scarce modern New York issues. 2023 Scott US$525.00 = $708.75 $50.00
309 United Nations #902a/929. Half-dozen "Personalized postage" label sheets issued out of New York in 2006-2007. Each sheet with 10 stamps and 10 labels, with either 39c or 84c denominations. These sheets are noted and priced in the footnotes of Scott catalogue. Includes themes of Peace, the Washington and Berlin Philatelic Exhibitions and the Anniversary of Japan’s accession to the UN. Overlooked at the time, these are in great shape and missing from many UN collections. Total 2023 Scott US$662.50 = $894.38 $42.00
310 United Nations #934/991d. Group of 14 different "Personalized postage" labels issued between 2007-2009 from the New York office, including the basic sheets, as well as specialty issues for Pope Benedict, Climate Change, the Beijing Olympics, etc. These sheets had a significant selling price above the face value of the stamps, plus they are an oversized item which made collector's shy away from them at the time (hence making them tough to find now). Total 2023 Scott US$634.50 = $856.58 $42.00
311 United Nations #994/1054. Sheets of 2009-2013 "Personalized Postage" labels issued from New York, includes two shades of printing of #994, Lunar New Year (Tiger, Rabbit), Dogs, Law of the Sea, Tinkerbell and Manila Declaration. Some of the sheets include both a mint and a CTO example. Massive initial cost when purchased at the time. Not a lot of these floating around the open market. In great shape, carefully stowed away since purchased at time of issue. Total 2023 Scott US$596.00 = $804.60 $65.00
312 United Nations #1054/1136. Group of "Personalized Postage" label sheets issued from New York between 2013-2016. With 10 stamps and 10 generic labels with personalization only available through an in-person visit to New York headquarters. Many of these sheets were also issued for themes including CITES (x3), Lunar New Year (Horse, Monkey), Pope Francis, UNESCO and even "Angry Birds" (not sure if this fits into a bird thematic). These oversized sheets are in excellent condition, carefully stowed away since time of issue. Total 2023 Scott US$795.00 = $1,073.25 $42.00
313 United Nations - 1950's-1970's FDC Collections, neatly arranged / mounted on pages within 5 albums in a bankers box. We noted a wide array of issues (including the high catalogue value 1955 souvenir sheet), with many being blocks or corner blocks. Almost all (if not all) are cachet First Day Covers, with illustrated envelopes which are more sought after and showcase the issue. Two of these albums still have the original dealer's price tag of $180.00 for the pair, so our estimate will seem quite reasonable when you consider there are 5 albums total in the lot! Estimate = $120.00 $24.00
314 United Nations - Balance of the UN collection in five-volumes filling a small moving box. Includes Special Event programs, cancels, first day cancels. The lot contains...1) A 1962 Malaria new issue ceremony folder. 2) Album of Christmas cards, new issue ceremony folders and last day of issue covers. 3) Collection of 110 presentation cards with reprinted images of UN issues signed by Kurt Waldheim. 4) Group of 100 items commemorating shows, speakers, declared days (most 1970-1990), slogan cancels (including non-UN). 5) A handful of empty folders which hopefully (but not necessarily) match up with some of the program or presentation cards). Estimate = $160.00 $34.00
315 United Nations - Early "New York" First Day Covers issued between 1953-70. A specialized collection of 129 covers, including both printings of #38/#38d, different cachets, cancels and printings (well identified). The second volume includes 19 mostly different presentation folders from three issues. While ID’d by the owner, but we will leave it to you to figure out what is here as the pictures speak for themselves. The collection is housed in two 3-ring Lighthouse binders with slipcase (one green, one blue) Estimate = $200.00 $55.00
316 United Nations - Endangered Species First Day Covers (large, with a full sheetlet of 16 stamps on each cover). Missing only one cover from New York, from 1997, otherwise it is a complete run from 1993 to 2015. All on Vario pages in green 4-ring Lighthouse binder with slipcase. Condition of the covers is excellent. Outrageous new issue purchase price. Total 2023 Scott catalogue value US$1574.00 = $2,124.90 $42.00
317 United Nations - Endangered Species issues 1993-2015. NY (620/1109a), Geneva (228/600a), Vienna (143/564a). Covering both flora and fauna, this long running series typically had four stamps per entity...per year. This accumulation includes a total of 66 sheetlets of 4 blocks, plus an additional block (a few of the earlier are four singles). All in great never hinged condition and attractively mounted on pages within a green 4-ring Lighthouse brand binder with slipcase. Face value is significant. Total 2023 Scott catalogue value US$1978.75 = $2,671.31 $190.00

The "show cards" depict the theme of the show, a feature of the host city, or the stamp being issued in conjunction with that show.

Collection housed in 13 volumes, each with 16 first day covers all cacheted and unaddressed. Pristine as virtually untouched since the day of production. A grand total of 208 covers plus the albums.

331 United Nations - World Heritage, Climate Change and "One Planet" booklet panes, from all three issuing entities including New York 743/1115, Geneva 331/603 and Vienna 248/569. For the World Heritage issues, there are 14 of each, the first 10 are mint never hinged, the last four years are represented by CTO examples. In each year the booklet had six panes, which have been expertly exploded, and pleasingly displayed on Vario stock pages within a blue Lighthouse brand 4-ring album with slipcase. There is one set each of issues for Climate Change and One Planet. The value is almost perfectly split between the three issuing entities. Total 2023 Scott catalogue value US$888.00 = $1,198.80 $46.00
332 United Nations - Geneva and Vienna - Geneva #1/581 and Vienna #1/566. A definitive study/hoard in two volumes. Starts with single issues and then moves onto plate blocks (often with a matched cacheted, unaddressed, first day cover).

The Vienna has 53 First Day Covers and newer issues with a face value of €105.00 ($154.00 CDN). All mint stamps are believed to be never hinged. Estimate = $200.00 $110.00
333 United Nations - Geneva and Vienna - Geneva: Large lot of post cards including 60 "maxi-cards" issued 1991-2001 (about one half of the cards come with a mint card with no stamp or cancel), and 120 cards for mostly European philatelic show and a striking imprint of the UN logo in gold leaf and cancelled for the show (where there is a bit of duplication, it’s usually because of cancels on different days of the show). Most produced between 1991-2005. Vienna: The same, but 30 maxi-cards, and 166 philatelic exhibition cards. All housed in 5 Unisafe postcard albums with 2-pocket pages (binders are grey (2) and burgundy (3), each with matching slipcase). Significant effort and cost to accumulate these 376 cards. Estimate = $200.00 $75.00
334 United Nations - New York #1/1111. Two-volume specialized definitive collection. Includes singles, blocks, plate blocks, additional printings, plate flaws all nicely supported with First Day Covers. About half of this offering is from the first issue alone! Almost every mint stamp is never hinged. Well displayed on black stockpages in a pair of three-ring blue "G&K" brand binders with matching slipcovers. Conservatively valued for the face value alone, but worth considerably more. Total Face Value US$230.00 = $310.50 $110.00

336 United Nations - New York #63/1123. New York issues from 1958-2015 on First Day Covers with Geneva cachets and cancels. Presumably started before Geneva was issuing its own stamps, but still wanted a philatelic role. The first few cachets are subtle, with the difference being the use of French (or being bilingual) but by the early 1960s, the cachets explicitly stated "Geneva Cachet". There is a bit of duplication, but given this collector had an eye for detail, there may be subtle differences. Most covers are small sized, cacheted, mostly unaddressed. Some of the more recent have souvenir sheets. A total of 450 covers housed in THREE 4-ring Lighthouse brand binders with matching slipcovers. Estimate = $200.00 $46.00
337 United Nations - New York #69/1123. Near complete run of Annual Year Folders issued between 1959-2015 (missing only 1963 and 1992). The first year, the stamps were stuck to the card, but the following year clear mounts were added and from that point onwards the stamps are all found in their mounts (and are presumably never hinged). Includes regular issues and souvenir sheets, but no booklets, prestige products or personalized stamp issues. Very difficult to accumulate set of folders. Overall condition is excellent. Estimate = $200.00 $120.00
338 United Nations - Vienna and Geneva - Generic cacheted first day covers with cancels from the respective "Museum". Followed by a second set of first day covers with "Work Day" first day cancels, and slogan cancels. These were issued between the 1970’s up until 1990 and are likely to be a very complete offering of this niche. Most of the covers are cacheted and most unaddressed. Housed in 4 burgundy Lighthouse 200 cover FDC albums with slipcovers (these alone retail at $280.00!). Overall condition is excellent. Estimate = $200.00 $36.00

342 United Nations Offices in Vienna #1/576. Complete run of 37 Year Set folders. Stamps have been put in the mounts inside the folders which include definitives, commemoratives and souvenir sheets, but no booklets, prestige or personalized postage products. An excellent way to build a collection. Conservatively catalogued as stamps only. Total 2023 Scott US$500.00 = $770.00 $110.00
343 United Nations Offices in Vienna #7/578. Very complete hoard of commemorative issues in blocks of 4-10, supplemented with sheetlets and souvenir sheets, missing only some of the recurring & prestige issues. All appear to be very fine, mint never hinged examples. Perfect to build from, or to break-up for sale online. Lovingly displayed on Vario stockpages in a 4-ring black Lighthouse brand binder with matching slipcase. We did not count it, but there is an enormous amount of face value / original cost in this lot. Total 2023 Scott US$2501.60 = $3,377.16 $325.00

The Lighthouse binders and pages would retail for over $200.00 alone. Estimate = $250.00 $55.00

With topicals such as events, people, battles, towns/locations etc. The lot concludes with a collection of stamps and souvenir sheets, mostly mint never hinged.

350 USA Covers - A collector's accumulation of 103 American Navy Ship (USS) cancelled covers and postcards. A nice array of pre-WWII, WWII and more "recent" with emphasis placed on the tidiness of both the cover and postmark. Noted a variety of usages including visits abroad, anniversaries, Navy Day, Easter and George Washington's birthday (to name a few). Once of the most enticing features of this lot is how many different ships are represented here and the historical timeline of events as shown through the cachets and postmarks. A great lot for the history buff! Estimate = $120.00 $130.00
351 USA Covers - First Flight Cover Collection. Bankers box filled with 10 binders containing 584 flight covers from the 1950's to 1980's. Each cover bears an attractive specially produced cachet to commemorate the flight. This period of flights is often overlooked by the airmail collector, with many of these flights being much harder to find than some of the earlier 1930's "classic" aviation material. Seemingly all different, this group was assembled by a single collector over multiple decades. A great chance to acquire a large original holding of this material. Estimate = $200.00 $95.00
352 USA Covers - Small box filled with 217 collector made First Day Covers from the 2000-2002 period, each with a seldom seen "modern" illustrated cachet.

358 Worldwide - A-Z collection in 3 PACKED Harris brand "standard" worldwide albums.

Lot includes shared designs, 7x SEPAC (small European postal administration cooperative) and Royal Weddings. Stamps and packs all appear to be in excellent condition. These packs are often overlooked at the time, as few collectors are interested in everything offered in the packs. There is also a modern trend in which anything associated with Nordic countries tends to have a high face value (and as such, these packs had a high original purchase price). As time passes, and these folders get listed in catalogues, collectors start to realize what they missed and realized how relatively few of these collections were issued. Estimate = $140.00 $110.00

399 Worldwide Supplies - Small boxed filled with lightly used "Vario style" 7-row or 8-row double sided black stockpages. We say "Vario style" as these seem to be a mix of Vario...but also Unitrade and other unmarked pages, all intended to be the same style as Vario. Lots of life left in these, with only the occasional sticker / label or tape which can be removed. There are 155x 7-row and 10x 8-row pages, making a grand total of 165 pages.
