Four volume 1849-2017 set of Lighthouse hingeless albums in green binders with matching slipcases (Reference 15). A very comprehensive offering of over 2000 different stamps, mostly used up to 1966, then mint hinged up to 1980 where the mint stamps then become never hinged until 1995 before shifting again to used (and very sparse). Better stamps include #31, 64, 66, 83, 132 and semi-officials: B6-7, 11, 16, 19, 35-7, 41, 66-67. The collector has penciled in the Scott numbers underneath each stamp to aid in identification. The overall condition is good. Inexplicably, there is an additional 5th album with hingeless pages covering 2015-2018 that was never used. The retail price for the albums alone is about $3000.00 along with the substantial catalogue value in the stamps. An attractive way to house a new or existing French collection. Estimate =
