Liberty Bell Topical Grouping. A compact but enticing offering of 15 items, being mostly postal history usages of the 1927 Liberty Bell issue (#627) including USS Receiving Ship Guantanamo Bay, McKinley Park Alaska, unclaimed mail, First Flight Cover, rate to Chile, advertising, plate block special delivery (leap year, priced by a dealer at $125.00) and a "cinderalla" stamp on cover. There are also some non-philatelic items including a 1915 "History of the Liberty Bell", a glass printed image and a sunken die-proof image of the Liberty Bell. The latter in the "non-philatelic" group has a clear connection with stamps, signed by Marcus Baldwin (1853-1925) who was a Master-Engraver who did produce engravings used by the US Post Office (this is also priced on the back by a dealer at $250.00!). An enticing group to keep as-is, or break apart and retail out. Estimate =
