One full and one half-sized homemade boxes from a vest-pocket dealer’s stock that was created with the intention of "sales", but 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 900x #5 sized (6" x 3.5") glassine envelopes, containing well over 5,000 stamps. The stamps that are here appear to be in decent condition. As expected, most of the material is more common, but there is a good selection of Helvetia issues, including a few better with many of the issues up to about 1920 having beautiful cancellations. Besides a good run of regular issues up to 2005, there are significant numbers of semi-postals, airmail, postage due and various "official" issues. Estimate =
