# 900/4401 and Back of the Book
|
A massive, mostly used, meticulously organized dealer’s stock in homemade shoebox sized containers. Each item has its own #5 sized glassine envelope and is identified by Scott number. Envelopes hold anywhere from 1-200 of a type and there are six dealer boxes, which cover issues from 1940-2009, with the material from the earliest box was bundled in rubber bands and sitting on top. There is a small but significant amount of mint material, almost all from the 3c-8c era, followed by a "back of the book" section, including airmails, postage dues and revenue issues (plus more - even saw a few stamps from Hawaii). As the U-Haul box that these fill is too long for the homemade boxes, there was a space in the end that was filled with some loose material and a battered "All-American" album that has issues back into the 19th centrury. Tens of thousands of stamps. Despite being a dealer stock, was never seen by collectors, due to health issues. Estimate =
