Another "end of an estate" lot in a U-Haul box. Frankly, we get a lot of estates being consigned, and each one invariably ends up with a box at the end that didn’t fit in with the rest of the collection. This material is ripe for discovery, picking and organizing. In this box is a century-old Stanley Gibbons "Improved" album, along with a more recent "World Traveler" album, along with three binders with mounted stamps, organized by country and a battered stockbook. The balance of the lot includes a number of items purchased from dealer’s and left as purchased. There are bits and pieces from attempts at collections, including a bundle of "102" cards with worldwide forged overprints (some primitive, some a bit more convincing). Thousands of stamps here, with hours of fun and learning ahead, and likely some better items are lurking. Estimate =
