Older mounted collection of almost a century of Finnish issues, including extras that will have you heading for your Facit. The grouping begins with a good range of the 1875 "Coat of Arms" issues, with shades and some nice postmarks (including a nice mix of the Russian printings of 1891). Between mint and used examples, there is good coverage of the 20th century issues. Noted a complete booklet of the 1939 "Lion" issue as well as an example of each of the five panes found within, followed by issues that go up to 1972. There is a good range of "back of the book" material, including mostly mint semi-postals and Q1-Q5 parcel post stamps. Most of the stamps are hinge mounted, but a number are stuck in the folds of this smaller sized springback album. About 400 stamps. Hasn’t seen the light of day in about 50 years! Estimate =
