Russia / USSR

A banker’s box with a very wide assortment of Russian material. The oldest material is in an old-school stockbook with almost 100 years of material from 1870-1963, not unexpectedly sparse in areas, but with better throughout. Next is a binder has more recent issues up to 1990 on stockcards, followed by Scott Specialty binders that have "back of the book" issues (semi-postals, airmails) as well as associated territories (e.g. Baltics, Ukraine, Mongolia). There is an Ambassador album has a good introduction to USSR issues, as well as a bit of material from other non-Soviet countries. The rest of the space is filled with old album pages, dealer cards and two manila envelopes packed with "mint and CTO" material that looks like goes back to the 1960s (there are probably 3000 stamps in this other material).
