Australia #1/2202. Trio of red Uni-Safe 32-page stockbooks with a lovely stock of used (and some mint) 20th century Australian regular issues. Sorted and identified by Scott, often including sub-numbers with anywhere from 1-5 of a type, making it perfect to build or supplement a collection, or develop a dealer’s stock. Starts with first issue ‘Roos up to 1/-, second issue to 2/- with the GeoV "Heads" including a couple nice "OS" perfins. The 1930’s-1940’s issues are well covered (with Robes up to £1) and including some mint issues. By the 1970’s, the issues are mostly used and by 1999 there is less coverage, but not much duplication. The stamps appear to be in decent condition. One of the albums has some damage to a spine corner, which does not detract from this excellent building block lot. Estimate =

Australia #1/393, M1-M6. A lightly remaindered mint Hinged and used collection on Stanley Gibbons pages for 1913-1965 pre-decimal issues. Mainly mint Hinged after 1936. Somewhat short on 'Roos, less so on Heads, and fairly comprehensive otherwise. The collector has included some colour variations here and there. Overall excellent quality with close to 400 stamps, housed in a three-ring binder with all the pages in sheet protectors. Owner's 2023 Scott US$1,883.60 =

Australia #6/179, O1/O14, CO1. A used assortment of better Australian singles and a bit of an accumulation of "official" overprints and one perfin. The better include #6, #100 (nicely used with its twin perforated small "OS") and the three high value "Robes". The officials are organized more by denomination than chronology and are catalogued as the cheapest possible variation (so some potential upside). Overall condition is excellent, but some minor faults are to be expected. The OS perfin is not counted in the total catalogue value. 2023 Scott US$592.10 =

Australia #406/1680a. Small binder with a mint offering of sets and singles on "102" cards for issues between 1966-1998. Starts with the "Birds and Explorers" to $4.00, and there is a good run of the high-denomination "Paintings" (face value A$29.00). There is a page with se-tenant strips, returning to the "Fish and Shells" issue and the Aussie Rules Football issues (#1508-1523). Rounding out the offering throughout is a number of sets, with good catalogue values and face values that add up quickly. A couple of the early sets are hinged, but the majority is very fine mint, Never Hinged, with the occasional used set slipped in. About 200 different stamps. Estimate =

Australia - An envelope box with the balance of the estate of a local collector/dealer of Australian material. Includes material written up for sale (many years ago), stockpages and loose material. Much of this material has not seen the light of day for thirty years. There is a significant collection and duplicates from a "VG" perfin study, as well as regular issues with multiples, coils, cancels, a few booklets and lots of used better material for issues between 1920-1970 (noted a couple 5/- ‘Roos).

Australia - Bundle of "New Issues" stamp issued between 1972-1995, many still in their original Post Office packages. Includes singles, sets, se-tennant, souvenir sheets (often duplicated) and a number of blocks or sheetlets. Expect almost everything to be very fine, mint Never Hinged. Great way to build a collection or stock. Includes a bit of associated "Islands" (Christmas, Cocos) and some Australian Antarctic Territory, all valid for postage in Australia and counted in the owner’s conservative face value.

Australia - Eclectic consignment balance, in the order of appearance includes three pages of used postage dues including several nice blocks, a couple of pages of OS perfins, a couple of retired circuit books and better loose sets and singles (including a 1970 Cook ANPEX souvenir sheet and some "Roos", "Heads" and "Robes" which are found periodically). Next are several presentation packs, manila stockpages and a small stockbook with used, including late 20th century high values, even a couple of early QEII panes. There is even a small group of "OS" and "BCOF" forged overprints, that will not fool many. If all of that doesn’t entice you, how about the sometimes organized, mostly loose 1990’s postage, with face values up to AUD$10.00 which although a bit unorganized, we would easily estimate the face value to be at least AUD$200.00. Any Aussie collector will be happy to dig through this. Estimate =

Australia - Intriguing pair of black stockpages with better mint singles, blocks and booklet panes. The singles include a couple of "Roos", a 4d "Head", 5/- cattle, mint "Robes" (including a 10/- specimen), £2 "Arms" and mint officials O12-O13. The blocks include nine KGV "Heads" including a pair of 1 1/2d with Brusden-White listed "double perforations" (which are hinge reinforced as there is so little paper left between the stamps). Finally, there are a couple of imprint or gutter blocks, a pair of Sydney Harbour blocks and a QEII booklet pane. Overall appearance is quite fresh with a mix of Hinged / Never Hinged. A great way to increase the eye appeal to your collection. Estimate =

Tasmania is represented by one mint 1/- and a 1p used Chalon. There are 20 used stamps from Victoria which have good catalogue value (totalling about $1000.00), but expect faults.

Australian States - Small but mighty mix of partial collections on pages including New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia, with individual catalogue values up to US$125.00 and a number of better readable cancels. Along with the array of stamps are some revenues (including from the Commonwealth period). Most are used, and the usual mixed condition can be expected, but we shouldn’t neglect the three mint Swans from Western Australia, all reasonably hinged #57, 101-102 (these 3 catalogue US$156.00 alone). Perfect for the student of early Oz. Estimate =

Austria - Small mounted collection of "first century" issues, including some earlier, followed by several black and manila stockpages with mint and used singles, blocks and souvenir sheets (these from the late 19th century to the early 1970’s, with moderate to heavy duplication). The lot concludes with a small "KEK" brand stockbook with a pleasing selection of mostly 1950’s onward mint. While there is a touch of "Back of the Book" material here (including a mint P1a, catalogue $225.00), most of these stamps are regular issue definitives and commemoratives. Overall the condition of this lot is excellent. Estimate =

Austria - Terrific pre-1960 collection of 1197 mostly different stamps, mounted in an old "Piral" 2-post album. Slightly more used than mint, including extensive regular issues, semi-postals, occupation, military, postage due, newspaper stamps (and the list goes on). Besides good quality issues, often with very nice cancels, the material is supplemented with reprints and different shades. Several years ago, someone started cataloguing this collection and came up with a total of $2,432.00, and that was WITHOUT the first dozen pages being tallied. In the earlier pages there are individual stamps to $50.00 catalogue value. Later highlights include #288a-294a, B225-251, B260-263, B269-271, B273-276, J1-9, J132-158, Offices in Levant #32a-35b.

Belgium #1/1687, B6/B926. Dealers stock that would equate to about 1/3 of a "red box" worth of "102" cards from 1849-1998 period with mostly used material, easily convertible to a collection or integrating into / starting a stock. Starts with a few of the first King Leopold I design, with a bit of duplication, and then settles into a sporadic offering of mostly used sets and singles, with a small offering of semi-postals (and a few other random "back of the book" issues). Items have been individually identified by Scott, but not catalogued or priced. Overall appearance and condition is very nice, a few of the earlier have faults (including #12 used). Estimate =

Brazil #1886. Some kind of South American fever must have temporarily overcome this philatelist while in line at the Post Office! An absolute hoard of the 1983 souvenir sheet (with 376cr face value) issued to honour the 100th anniversary of the death of Louis Breguet, noted for his early work with telegraphs, so fittingly shown with both telegraph lines as well as a transmitter. Because they are now over 40 years old, we have replaced most of the rubber bands, otherwise this is just as purchased. Still arranged as purchased in glassines, with each glassine having 10 copies (and there are 100 glassines). Total of 1000x very fine, mint, Never Hinged souvenir sheets. 2023 Scott US$7500.00 =

There is a touch of Niue and Penrhyn Islands, and then back to a decent offering of Samoan issues, finishing with a mix of Tokelau and Tuvalu.

British Commonwealth - Sometimes the last is not the least, and that is the case with this banker’s box and the end of the line for this consignment. Granted there are a couple of philatelically inspired pieces here (such as an album for the 1982 Commonwealth Day issues), but there is a substantial amount of album pages, stockcards and retired circuit books of many shapes and sizes. Most have made it into this lot because they hold multiple (often unrelated) colonies on one page, meaning that they don’t fit easily anywhere. You won’t see much GB, Canada, Australia, New Zealand here, but almost everywhere else where the "sun never sets" is represented here. Most is pre-mid-Elizabethan, with some Victorian. If you collect the Commonwealth, this lot will not disappoint. Estimate =

Canada #2154. Mary Pickford group. An interesting "above and beyond" offering of the 2006 "Canadians in Hollywood" Mary Pickford group including a booklet pane, souvenir sheet and illustrated stationery pre-paid postcard. On top of all this, is a 1935 cover, sent from "House of Commons" to Mary Pickford in Hollywood and SIGNED by Pickford (this was likely send down by an individual to optain her autograph, which she obliged). Mary Pickford (1892-1979), was born Mary Louise Gladys in Toronto ONT, but became one of the early US motion picture's "American Sweethearts" being a star of the silent movie era and one of the first film stars.

Canada Covers - "Fisher" design Postal Stationery wholesale lot. Interesting group, which looks to have been purchased from the Postal Museum in Ottawa, with an eye to getting first day cancels, which was a hit or miss undertaking for this issue. The buyer at the time probably didn’t realize that they were hitting the "jackpot", as the 12c envelopes are the uncommon printing "without postal code guide" on the front of the envelopes (including the 15c on 12c revalues, where most of this uncommon printing tends to surface). This box includes #10 envelopes, postal cards and some "private order" envelopes for Quebec social services (of which there are many printings). The envelopes consist of the 12c and the 15c on 12c overprint (Webb EN244 and EN254) with 32 mint and 76 FDC each, the 15c (EN248) with 24 mint and 82 FDC and the 17c brown printing (EN251) with 45 mint and 91 FDC. The postcards include the 14c, 15c, 17c (P288, P289, P291 - about 10 mint and over 40 FDC copies each. There is a mixed bundle of 165 postally used copies of ENX80-81, ENX84 (Transportation issue).

Canada Covers - FDC / Alberta Postmark Hoard. A collector's project of creating "home-made" First Day Covers, primarily from the late 1980's to early 1990's. A small bin packed with 1310 covers, primarily cancelled in Alberta, with a range of small towns to larger cities (but the cities, i.e. Edmonton, were usually cancelled at numbers "Sub" or "Retail" Post Offices). Heavily duplicated at times, the amount of time, effort and money spent to create this philatelic adventure was extensive. While there is smattering of FDC that were sent in private cachet envelopes, the majority are un-cacheted covers.

Canada Covers - First Day Covers / British Columbia Postmarks. An interesting and unusual lot of 402 First Day Covers, dated 1998-2008, each bearing an unusual "modern" illustrated cachet and being cancelled from around the province of BC. 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 =

Canada Covers - First Day Covers 1971-2008. A small box, packed with several hundred clean unaddressed Canada Post cachet First Day Covers. Duplicated in areas, this holding represents an accumulation as acquired by a collector over many years. The majority of material looks to be from the 1980's / 1990's, but with smatterings of more modern material (up to 2008) mixed in as well. We only counted the total face value of the stamps here (which totaled $844.02). Considering that all of these covers sold at a premium over the face value of the stamps, it is safe to say that these would have originally cost well over $1000.00 to buy from Canada Post.

A grand total of 883 covers, with a face value of the stamps alone totaling $964.95. Suffice to say, this originally would have cost well over $1000.00 when purchased from the Post Office. Estimate =

Canada Covers - Postal Stationery. Accumulation of unused Postcard Factory pre-paid postal cards. A total of 109 cards, consisting of 93 different, almost all with "1995 Flag Design" and white border, which are "postage paid to be sent anywhere in the world". These cards were initially printed in limited quantities and made available through the Philatelic Service, but initial demand was quite low and soon they became available only through non-philatelic sources. Often neglected by collectors due to the high cost per card (currently $2.71 each) and how hard they can be to find (many dealers don’t stock them). There is significant topical potential throughout and the universal nature of the scenes depicted mean that tourist shops continue to buy old stock for retail sale. This batch is mostly earlier printings, but where there is duplication, the card stock is often different (smooth vs. rough) and a few have different Webb catalogue listed "backs" - such as the short lived "brown" back.

Canada Revenues - A wild and woolly four stockpages that will have you turning to many different sections of your van Dam catalogue. We have tried to bring a bit of order to this consignment but have only been partially successful. Noted some federal stamps for UIC, red War Savings Certificate stamps, bill stamps, war tax, customs, excise, medicine, law, weights and measures, Light and Gas Inspection and tobacco stamps and some non van Dam related material. The provinces contribute NS overprints on bill stamps, some Quebec registration stamps, a $5.00 Ontario vacation pay, a block of Alberta prosperity stamps as well as some Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and BC law stamps. If that isn’t enough, there is a 1989 Quebec duck stamp too. As with many lots of this type, most of the stamps are used, and many have faults from their normal usage. Some of the material has hinge remnants, but with a bit of card (and perhaps a soak), these will clean up nicely. There is going to be good little finds here and there for the intrepid collector.

Europe - Shoebox with the balance of an olde-time European dealer’s approval stock, probably from the late 1950’s, mounted on 140 stockcards with a paper overleaf. The material is mostly from the first half of the 20th century, with strength in the 1920s-1950's. Includes mint, used, "back of the book" and the occasional non-Scott listed item (with light to moderate duplication). While much of the material is more common, there are better items in the $5.00 - $30.00 scattered throughout. Noted multiple cards from Germany, Danzig, Romania, Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bohemia and Moravia (to name a few), but many other countries are represented by a card or two as well. There is a bit from the rest of the world, but this accounts for fewer than 10 cards. Some of the material was separated by Michel catalogue numbers and finds are likely to be found by the knowledgeable collector. This material appears to have never been picked and has likely not seen daylight in 70 years! Estimate =

France #67/1768, B2/B497, C5/C30, J11/J63. Nice quality dealer’s stock of a couple hundred "102" cards. There are some better "Peace and Commerce" issues, including #96 and a trio of stamps with pulled perfs #67, #83 and an eye-catching example of #94a (mint, no gum, misperforated). From the "Liberty and Peace" design there is a mint copy of #122 and used copies of #126 and #132. There are some nice mint values from the "Pasteur" issue, a 1924 Olympic set, as well as the odd better value from the 1930’s, such as the 1938 World Cup stamp. Coverage from the 1940’s-1980’s is sporadic and the semi-postals are mostly mint and "hit or miss", but we note a number of sets cataloguing $5.00-$10.00 each. The airmail issues are a mix including some of the better issues from the 1930’s as well as C22. There are only a few postage dues, including a damaged used example of #J21 and J35 in better condition. The few damaged stamps in this lot are all higher value and described above, otherwise a clean offering in very nice condition. Stamps are identified by Scott but with no catalogue values or retail prices assigned. Terrific for collector or dealer alike! Estimate =

Great Britain #1/514. Mostly used pre-decimal collection mounted on quadrilled pages in Simplex Blank springback album. A collection that Dickens would have approved of... it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The Victorian section is strong with a 2-margin Penny black and an assortment of imperforate and perforated issues, many with the plates and cancels identified. There are dozens of penny reds, an attractive Jubilee set, a basic group of KEVII up to the 2/6 and the GeoV issues which are fairly complete, with several Seahorses up to 10/-. The final three Monarchs have good coverage, with some mint appearing in the late 1950’s. As well as having over 1000 stamps, this collection is supplemented with overprints for officials or overseas offices, as well as some postage dues, revenues and cut squares from postal stationery. The catalogue value will be several thousand dollars, but there is a big caveat to this collection: the collector wasn’t very picky, so there are faulty thoughout, including thins, straight edges, and some of the Victorian material is easily misidentified. This is unfortunate, because with a little tending and thinning, this could become a top-notch group. Estimate =

Great to build or expand an existing collection. The catalogue value will be at least a few thousand dollars. Estimate =

Great Britain - A dizzying array of miscellaneous British material that is filling a bankers box. There are three or four collections/accumulations/studies, with mostly used material, including some higher value Victorian items (a very old stockbook has most of the QV Jubilee set, including the 10d and 1/-). At the other end of the scale is masses of mounted Wildings and Machins, that we will leave it to you to ponder what the person who assembled it was aiming for. Noted some presentation cards, some loose cards and stockpages. Also included is some Guernsey, and many other bits and bobs that await your exploration. Estimate =

Great Britain - A duality of a lot. Bankers box that is taken up with four homemade shoebox sized containers holding a mostly used British dealer’s stock covering modern QEII (Scott #800/2685 & Machins and BOB), each item in its own #5 sized glassine, with 1-30 stamps each. The second half of the lot is a pair of older and battered stockbooks and a metal cigarette tin with a mix of QV-pre-decimal QEII, mint and used, with some non-Scott listed items. Overall, there are thousands of stamps here, given only a cursory check by us. There should be lots for both the collector looking for elusive modern used material, as well as someone looking to add some items into the earlier part of their collection. Estimate =

There are some GeoV definitives with potential and the 1924 BEE (British Empire Exhibition) set. The GeoVI has some mint definitives and a couple of mint £ Royal Weddings. Next are some mint (phosphorous) QEII Wildings, and then a steady offering of mint and used sets, with the occasional block of 4. By the mid-1980’s, the sets are mostly mint (and all Never Hinged). There is a touch of "back of the book", including a couple of "Official" overprints that await your critical eye (such as O29 – catalogue $1350.00).

Ireland #32/1179, J6/J36. A good-sized handful of mint and used Irish material from a dealer’s stock, all nicely laid out on "102" cards, each with Scott number, a fairly recent catalogue price and reasonable retail price (which will hold up, even on some of the items where the catalogue value has dropped a bit). Lots of classic, pre-WWII issues, including overprints and "map" and "coat of arms" mixed in with the commemorative issues. By the mid-1960’s and up to the late 1990’s the issues are mostly commemoratives and mostly mint, Never Hinged, with lots of sets. Lastly is a nice group of mint postage dues. A couple of hundred cards here, in good condition (overall) and all set to become a collection, to be added to a collection, or to be sold. Individual stamps catalogue up to $20.00 each. Estimate =

After that, you are going to have to do battle to tame an unruly group of stockbooks, glassines and dealer cards, most of which haven’t seen the light of day since the early 1980’s.

The 20th century material is good quality, but a bit more run-of-the-mill. From the back of the book, there is an intriguing batch of "Official" overprints on regular issues, such as a faulty O3 (catalogues $240.00) and others such as O6 & O13 up to O179 and while they look good, they are offered "as-is" because of the significant levels of forgery on the overprints.

Russia / USSR - A banker’s box with a very wide assortment of Russian material. The oldest material is in an old-school stockbook with almost 100 years of material from 1870-1963, not unexpectedly sparse in areas, but with better throughout. Next is a binder has more recent issues up to 1990 on stockcards, followed by Scott Specialty binders that have "back of the book" issues (semi-postals, airmails) as well as associated territories (e.g. Baltics, Ukraine, Mongolia). There is an Ambassador album has a good introduction to USSR issues, as well as a bit of material from other non-Soviet countries. The rest of the space is filled with old album pages, dealer cards and two manila envelopes packed with "mint and CTO" material that looks like goes back to the 1960s (there are probably 3000 stamps in this other material).

Straits Settlements - If you are able (and willing) to plow through different watermarks, and figure out postal from revenue cancels, then this accumulation is for you. From a dealer’s stock and a couple of collections comes this mostly used morass, with a nice range of Victorian issues (including some company cancels and revalues). The King Edward VII and King Georges V and VI are also well represented, with denominations up to $5.00. Some obvious shade potential and noted a couple of perfins, a couple of multiples and a few BMA overprints. Because of the overlap in the sources, there will be a bit of duplication. Ignoring items with potential revenue cancels, there are items cataloguing $5.00-$20.00 throughout. Hours of fun to sort these out. Estimate =

There is a small but significant amount of mint material, almost all from the 3c-8c era, followed by a "back of the book" section, including airmails, postage dues and revenue issues (plus more - even saw a few stamps from Hawaii). As the U-Haul box that these fill is too long for the homemade boxes, there was a space in the end that was filled with some loose material and a battered "All-American" album that has issues back into the 19th centrury.

USA Precancels - Group of 31 manila stocksheets, crammed full of quasi-organized US town precancels, as arranged by the previous owner. Easily 150-200 stamps per page, which would combine to over 5000 precancels in total (being a conservative estimate). There could be better items lurking throughout, but the sheer quantity alone will keep you busy for more than a few philatelic nights! One of the last parts of an estate we have been selling, offered as received. Estimate =

The material is almost exclusively complete sets from the late 1950s to mid-1960s.

Venezuela #1/1254 plus Back of the Book. An extensive mounted collection on Minkus pages in 3-ring binder, with stamps up to 1981. A mix of over 1000 mint and used stamps. Many of the stamps are in mounts, not because the stamps are never hinged, but because the collector sometimes tucked in a used stamp behind the mint, as with the 1896 “Map” set (catalogue value $172.25). Noted a number of examples from the 1951 “Arms and Industry” set and some mint souvenir sheets from the 1960's. There is significant coverage of airmail issues and even noted a few “local post” stamps. These along with some of the earlier "Bolivar" issues will require a critical eye. Almost no duplication, where there is it’s usually for shades or cancels on 19th century issues. Many individual stamps to $15.00 catalogue value throughout. A collection of this quality is not often seen locally. Estimate =

Worldwide - A "Challenge" Rapkin world album circa 1930, that the original owner’s inventory boasted having over 3,700 stamps by 1938 (and these are all from 1900-1938, as the earlier stamps are in "his father’s album"). Noted some early Australia, Canada (quite amazing, with MINT Edward VII to 50c, Quebec to 20c, Bluenose and 50c Grand Pre) and Great Britain (includes some decent EdwardVII and GeoV issues). Additionally there is better European, British Commonwealth, Asia and South America. The album is well loved and comes in its original box. Includes a touch of revenue and postal stationery cut squares (which may be part of the item count). The "challenge" for us was to either leave this "as is" or break apart, which we have chosen the former. Expect the mint to be a bit heavily hinged, but also expect to make valuable finds throughout.

Worldwide - A continued philatelic clean-up. This bankers box is from a popular source that produces one of these boxes every couple of months. Basically, any loose stamps that don’t fit elsewhere goes inside. There is material from almost everywhere, most are unconstrained, but some are in glassines, "102" cards, a couple small boxes and an old metal cigarette tin. Mostly 20th century material and mostly used stamps by the thousands, with no theme at all. While most appear more common, there are like some better lurking (we did note a Canada 50c EdwardVII). Perfect for the person who collects the world. A deal at the estimated value. Estimate =

Worldwide - A full U-Haul box with the balance of a consignment, with a very wide range of stamps (both geographically and date of issue). Half of the box is filled with albums, including older "International", "Modern" and a pair of "Statesman" albums and two stockbooks. There are thousands of stamps here from the 19th century, up to the 1980’s within these books. The balance of the box contains a pair of good-sized shoeboxes with an old collection sorted into envelope by country. Finally, there was a bit of a void in the box, which was filled with loose pages, more country or topical envelopes, some dealer cards and a few old-time starter packs with bright, colourful stamps. Perfect for the picker, the circuit book maker, or the stamp club "bon vivant". Estimate =

Worldwide - Another "end of an estate" lot in a U-Haul box. Frankly, we get a lot of estates being consigned, and each one invariably ends up with a box at the end that didn’t fit in with the rest of the collection. This material is ripe for discovery, picking and organizing. In this box is a century-old Stanley Gibbons "Improved" album, along with a more recent "World Traveler" album, along with three binders with mounted stamps, organized by country and a battered stockbook. The balance of the lot includes a number of items purchased from dealer’s and left as purchased. There are bits and pieces from attempts at collections, including a bundle of "102" cards with worldwide forged overprints (some primitive, some a bit more convincing). Thousands of stamps here, with hours of fun and learning ahead, and likely some better items are lurking. Estimate =

In no real order, there is some Japan, from the earliest issues to a couple used presentation cards from 1985. The Peoples’ Republic of China has some "new issues" from the late 1980’s. There is a small, mounted collection of Manchukuo, a black stock sheet with about 50 used stamps from Hong Kong’s golden period (with a number of nice cancels), strip of cards with some mint Korea, a page of mint Philippines and Indonesia including a few copies of the 1949 UPU souvenir sheets (perforated, imperf, "RIS" overprint).

Worldwide - Balance of an estate in 8 volumes. The older album is sparsely populated, but has some worthwhile Canada (e.g. 8c Jubilee, 15c & 20c Tercentenary) and Great Britain. A two-binder offering of relatively common stamps mounted on black stockpages includes a typed inventory list of the contents of each page (there is likely some hidden gems here, and the pages will retail about $100.00). There are three binders that have relatively common used stamps mounted on lined pages from "F" to "L" countries, with moderate to heavy duplication. Finishes with an Ambassador and a "New" stamp album with competent starter collections with thousands of stamps (and a few loose pages to fill in the gaps). It almost goes without saying that this fills a U-Haul box. Estimate =

Worldwide - Cinderellas, Revenues, Ephemera. Includes Christmas and Easter seals, courier mail, stamp show promotional labels. Strongest in Canada and United States, but there is a binder with a number of Xmas labels from Denmark (singles from 1904-1950, sheets from 1952-1985, large blocks for a few years after). The ephemera includes a folder from the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959, there are little booklets, coupons, "calling cards", even a display cardboard for fountain pen tips (with several still attached). There is a clutch of cancelled Canadian cheques circa 1947 and a wooden cigar box with some Washington State-heavy group of tickets, hotel labels, stickers, etc from the 1930’s-4190’s.

Worldwide - Consignment of Questions and Quandaries. Index card box containing hundreds of different stamps, including a majority that were deemed problematic and unacceptable for inclusion in APS circuit books (mis-identification, fake cancels, regums etc...). These have been critiqued by APS experts and placed in "quarantine" envelopes with the opinion (verdict) of the expert and monetary fine (!) charged to the offending stamp owner noted on each envelope. This being said the box also contains a decent amount of material that has no issues. A fun and interesting lot still containing a good amount of value. Well worth the estimate. Estimate =

Worldwide - Denmark and Sweden. Two bundles of European-style dealer’s approvals with a selection of mostly 1920's-1950's mint and used stamps. Between the deep pockets and the paper flap, figuring out what is here in the pictures is a bit of a challenge (these old-school approval cards were not intended to be photographed!). Based on other countries that came out of this stock, there is a mix of common and better material, including "back of the book". Some of the material has been notated, indicating that there are different printings found in Facit or Michel catalogues, but not Scott. There is also a small handful of booklets (and partial booklets) that add to the value of this lot. About 30 dealer cards in total, with at least 500 stamps. Estimate =

The final three pages cover an assortment of issues from 1980-1999, with the individual stamps being nicely used, but with three mint souvenir sheets. Overall condition is beautiful.

Worldwide - Lovely 19th century (1896) Scott International Album, notably as big as the Harris "starter albums" produce 70 years later! Not many 20th century stamps here, being a collection of its era, so expect some revenues and postal stationery cut squares mixed in as well. The collection appears fairly sparse, but that is more a function of the cost it takes to fill in such an album. Some of the better material includes the early USA, with some grills and commemoratives up to the 15c denominations. There is also a good showing of Europe, South America, Great Britain and a touch of Asian material. The album has a homemade dustcover, which should remove easily. Likely about 1000 stamps will be found in this album, which itself is in far-above-average condition for its age. Estimate =

Worldwide - Packed with potential, this U-Haul box holds a dozen albums, binders and stockbooks. The best is a very battered and heavily filled Lincoln album with lots of 19th century material seemingly nothing past 1945 with good European and Asian coverage (e.g. China, Japan, even Manchuckuo). We noted a couple of general worldwide collections and a couple of thematic sections (airplanes, birds). Most of the binders have sections of random alphabetic material, sorted by country including some decent Germany and Iceland. There is a bundle of sheets (e.g. Romania, Mexico) that a past owner said had $2000.00 in catalogue value (we haven’t checked to verify, although it is quite possible).

The second is a 16-page Unisafe stockbook with a brown cover, with about 78 souvenir sheets or mini-sheetlets. Most are mint Never Hinged, but a few are used. Overall the condition is excellent, with only a touch of duplication. There is some significant topical potential including sports, fish, stamp on stamp, royalty, and a good run of airplanes. The stockbooks are well worn, but still have years of service left. Estimate =

Worldwide - Premium mix filling a bankers box. This box is another diverse and layered offering of "off and on" paper. There are three small boxes buried here with stamps organized by country in small envelopes, with the majority of the box being densely packed loose stamps. Because there was a little space left at the top, a layer of glassine envelopes, and some stock cards were added. Note: this is not just the remnants from starter collections as several sources seemingly contribute to these boxes, with a diversity of collector sources including a bit of dealer remnant material. While there is a bit of strength in Western countries, we guess that there is material from over 75 different countries here, and a quick couple of handfuls showed interesting and potentially better material.

Worldwide - The last box from an estate, that starts with two older somewhat lightly populated albums, but every stamp seems to be pre-1910. This is followed by three Harris binders, with pages for "A" to "E" countries (there might be some worthwhile China). Then there is a second grouping of three binders that contain an assortment of one or two countries sorted onto black or manila stockpages. The last album was unfortunately partially affected by moisture at one point and many of the stamps are stuck, before that the owner had catalogued the US, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, New Zealand, etc at over US$1000.00, back in 1980! There was a three-inch gap in the box, and since there were no more albums or binders, it was filled with some loose album and stock pages. For those who like their material from a broad spectrum of countries, this one is for you. Estimate =

Worldwide - The mad sorter has been at it again. Technically it is filtering more than sorting. This bankers box is nearly filled to the top with thousands of stamps both on and off paper. Anything loose that comes across his desk that isn’t junk and doesn’t have an obvious home goes into the box. This box has a bit more material in glassines and cards than usual, but that still accounts for fewer than 5% of the material. Material is from almost everywhere in the world and stamps up to a few dollars are found though out. There is a bit of mint, some cancelled and the occasional multiple or souvenir sheet, with almost all the material is from the 20th century. Estimate =

Worldwide - The seemingly ubiquitous box of leftover worldwide material packed into a U-Haul box. The group begins with an Empire Stamp album, with hundreds of stamps, not much after 1920, strength in Europe and British Commonwealth (no US, GB or Canada) and a similar "Modern" album (nothing after 1950). There are a pair of Ambassador albums (one heavily filled, the other a bit lighter). Topical collections include "Stamp on Stamp", winter Olympics and transportation. We noted a binder of homemade pages with "A-E" countries and some loose pages, including some with 1980’s Czechoslovakian souvenir sheets.

A very interesting grouping, in which the material was placed into the stockbook as purchased by the collector. You can almost follow the changing interests as he starts with "Ships" then to modern UN (for the varied topicals) then to souvenir sheets, cats, royalty, "triangles" (all triangle shaped stamps), animals, sports, plants, various topicals and then Australia and New Zealand. Each page of this book is packed with stamps, all likely purchased one set at a time and almost all represent complete mint Never Hinged sets.

The material runs from mixed condition used Classics, through modern mint (well over $100.00 face alone), "Back of the Book" including airmails, postage dues, special deliveries, officials, revenues and more. While the condition may be a bit mixed in the older issues (expect faults), the total catalogue value of this album is significant. As an added extra, the lot includes a Minkus brand Columbia, Panama and Canal Zone album with pages up to the 1980s containing several hundred stamps from all three countries/zones.

Worldwide - We believe that this is the last of the dealer’s stock in homemade boxes that we have been offering over the past number of sales. This collector wanted to become a dealer in his retirement and set out to put together a very organized stock, by country and by Scott number, including common material. Alas, he was getting close to completion, to where he could start going to shows, when his health turned, meaning that collectors have never seen this material. These three boxes, contain Jugoslavia and a range of smaller European countries (as well as others). There is probably almost 3000x #5 glassine envelopes here, typically with 1-30 stamps. More used than mint, more common than better (there are sections where the glassine envelopes are where the value lies). As this file box had some remaining space, we filled it with a small stockbook and a number of "starter packs" that were big in the 1970’s (most are unopened). Conservatively there are 10,000 stamps here, awaiting your discovery. Estimate =

Collected over the course of many years, often one set or stamp at a time, with particular care put into both the quality of stamp and imagery of the issue.

While not a complete group of the world, we did note several better sections including Albania, India, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Danzig etc (this is just to name a few). Almost all of this material was purchased a stamp or set at a time by a dedicated collector searching for philatelic flight.

The best is Columbia’s Scadta third issue (used, except the high value which is mint no gum) and fourth issues, (up to the 80c, all mint with duplication for shades). The Scadta includes four used examples with Consular overprints (Germany, USA, Netherlands).

This period of time saw a great revitalization on the interest of First Flight Covers, that had not been seen since the 1930's. During this time a swath of airlines were being formed (or existing ones expanded), making for a enormous amount of new routes for the mail to be carried. There are a couple of albums included (including an American FDC album), that were not counted in the beforementioned total.
