Seven small boxes (about the size of a small shoebox) from a vest-pocket dealer’s stock that created with the intention of dealing but was never viewed by customers. There is a mix of mint and used stamps, sorted and identified by Scott number with each number getting its own glassine envelope. Anywhere from one to about 50 copies in each glassine. Conservative guess is that there are 4500x #5 sized (6" x 3.5") glassine envelopes. Well over 15,000 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 than $5.00 each. Besides a good run of regular issues up to 2005, there is over one full box of "back of the book", such as semi-postals, airmail, postage due and various "occupation" issues. Lots of nice cancels noted in the earlier material. At estimate, this lot doesn’t even cover the cost of the glassine envelopes! Estimate =
