Massive town cancel collection, on stamp or piece, sorted by town, by cancel type and then by date. The first binder has 35 Vario-brand stock pages (most are 7-8 strip), with space left for missing items. A wide range of stamps are found here, including "back of the book". There are a few pages at the end with cut squares from used parcel cards. The second, smaller, binder contains 11 more Vario stockpages and a manila stockpage of "extras" but these cancels are strictly from Sarajevo. Overall, a few hundred stamps from many dozens of different post offices. Given the other collections from this collector, expect the condition to be high quality, the descriptions to be accurate and better items to be lurking. Comes with a cerlox-bound copy of Tenczar’s 1992 version of the "Checklist of Town Cancels of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1878-1918)" - unchecked. A true labour of love and almost impossible to duplicate. Estimate =
