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.
