Worldwide Topicals

Transportation in three major forms: trains, boats/ships and airplanes. From a fledgling topical collector, who bought, but never got these into the collection, and they are offered, as originally purchased. The vast majority of these items are mint Never Hinged, sets, sheetlets and souvenir sheets. The airplanes include Antarctic themed, early flight (dirigible, biplanes) and military aircraft. The majority of the ships are from the era of wind-power, lots from British Commonwealth countries but with a nice 1975 imperf souvenir card from Chile. Finally, trains are broadly represented from steam to modern electric trams, with lots of souvenir sheets and sheetlets here. There are two first day covers in the lot and the occasional used set. Condition is generally excellent, with items ranging from $3.00 to $60.00 (when originally purchased). Perfect for collector or online dealer, alike. Estimate =
