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 =
