What do you get when you put duplicates in poorly sorted and marked window envelopes with better values peeking out at every turn? Fun and bargains. This estate holding includes a narrow shoebox full of old banking envelopes that has material sorted roughly by decade (up to 2000) with little guidance as to its contents. While there does not seem to be any "back of the book", what we did note includes mint 5c Viking and $5.00 Prexie, plus a handful of blocks (much of the 1932 Washington set) and plate blocks, with a couple complete booklets. The used is probably larger, and there is a Blackjack, Columbus to 10c, a glassine with a bunch of Nebraska/Kansas overprints, and a small quantity of precancels. Not everything is found where it should be, there is lots of common material and a moderate amount of duplication. Expect much of the mint material to be hinged. Estimate =
