Blue Lighthouse "alligator" finish springback album overfilled with 1983-1948 hingeless pages. That isn’t a typo. At some point, something happened with this collection and the pages were mounted in reverse chronological order, maybe it was when the semi-postal pages were integrated into the collection. For what it’s worth, the pages that are here are quite complete, the stamps mostly used for the Post-WWII period and then a good run of mint. Many of the pages have a glassine envelope in the fold with used stamps that match the stamps on the pages. Several hundred stamps here, with some additional material included such as B594/B778 and a number of complete used sets on black stockpages (catalogue over US$100.00 alone on these extra pages). Album and pages retail over $600.00! A truly "bulging" group, so pages could benefit being split with another binder. Estimate =
