Two small boxes (about the size of a small shoe box) from a vest-pocket dealer’s stock that never made it's way to be sold or viewed by potential customers. Mostly used stamps, sorted and identified by Scott number with each number getting its own glassine envelope. Anywhere from 1 to about 50 copies in each glassine. Conservative guess is that there are 1300x #5 sized (6" x 3.5") glassine envelopes, with well over 4,000 stamps, with the occasional small sized souvenir sheet. The stamps that are here are in decent condition and a quick peek indicates that few catalogue more that $5.00 each. Besides a good run of regular issues from 1930-2005, there is some 19th century material, with lots of cancel potential. Note: The second box is a bit out of order, as it likely had a spill at one time. Easily worth the estimate, as that price would just cover the cost of the glassines! Estimate =
