1741

Valuable collection in five Scott albums, basically it is two collections going to 1979, one marked "mint" and one marked "used", however each collection has some of both present, the "used" collection has some early high values including #1-2, 1869 Pictorials complete and a complete set of Columbians, the "mint collection" has some mint, unused and used early issues and better mint 20th century including Washington-Franklin Heads, both collections contain a mint Graf Zeppelin set, other back-of-the book including revenues, also some Hawaii and Philippines, and both collections have a run of modern mint, mixed quality, certainly plenty of value to justify our conservative estimate.

Impressive mint collection of many hundreds of stamps neatly hinged on album pages, from the 1851 Issue to the 1930's, there is useful duplication throughout, including shades and other varieties, which adds substantially to the total value, there are some better classic issues, but the heart of the collection is in the regular issues from the Large Bank Notes through the Washington-Franklin issues, in the Bank Notes issues there are often three to five of each stamp, including on the 6c and 10c values, the Small Bank Notes go to the 90c, with some duplication (mostly the 2c values), both Bureau issues to $1.00, again with duplication of the lower and middle values, the 1902 Issue to $5.00, solid Washington-Franklins, with dollar values, coils, a few blocks, etc., plus later regular issues, also a worthwhile group of early commemoratives and some back-of-the-book issues, the early issues are a mix of o.g. and no gum stamps, later nearly all o.g., a large percentage of the lot is in fine-very fine condition; overall an exceptionally fresh and clean lot that should represent high commercial value.

Lovely used collection to about 1925 neatly hinged on album pages, not only are there better stamps to be found, but there is a plethora of shades, cancels, plate varieties, etc., as this was collected in a specialized nature, for instance the 3c 1851 Issue is represented by over 50 copies, with a variety of shades, cancels, plate scratches, etc., and all other issues are similarly collected, with the lower values generally in large quantities, particularly the Large Bank Note issues, which contain many NYFM and other better cancels, plus there are high values present (90c Bank Notes, $5.00 Bureau, etc.), some better Washington-Franklins as well as early commemoratives, useful back-of-the-book, particularly the Treasury Dept. officials, which are represented by over 150 stamps, condition is slightly mixed, but on the whole an outstanding collection with many attractive fine-very fine stamps throughout.
