Collection with "deja-vu". We don’t think that we have seen anyone with an album like this. It is a "Stender’s" Icelandic album with pages up to 1971. When this collector ended up with extra material, they bought another set of pages (or annual supplements) and integrated them into the binder and kept adding stamps, but it was done inconsistently, so you will get anywhere from 1 to 3 of each page. Sometimes there are mint and used stamps of a particular issue, but sometimes they are all mint, or all used (or both, or neither!). What is here are a few hundred stamps and although the collection has been picked of the earlier issues, there is still lots of goodies here, including the 1930 Parliament series, missing only a couple of higher values. We noted two copies of #206 (used) and complete mint sets of the 1939 and 1940 World’s Fair issues (cat $188.00). Includes some "back of the book" including 3 pairs of souvenir sheets B5-B6, and 1931 Zeppelin overprints C9 & C11 (mint), some officials and finishing off with a page of revenue usages and cinderellas. Condition is a bit mixed, but between all the extra pages and stamps, you should be able to build a good collection or dealer stock from this album (obviously damaged or mis-identified items not counted). 2023 Scott US$2930.75 =
