788

Valuable balance of a large collection, the collector had an unique way of mounting, he would take the item on the original auction or retail card, neatly file it in Scott number order with the rest of the lot card, then when he had time, he would remove the item from the lot card, carefully cut a Showguard mount for it, and note on the back of the mount the Scott number and his cost, then he would transfer it to a stockbook, and finally, he would take items from the stockbook and mount them in his album, the collector was accumulating far more stamps than he could keep up with, therefore, there are stamps in all three transitions, on original lot cards, in the stockbook and in the album, the lot card section contains the most number of items, with duplication to be found, packed with $25.00-$100.00 cataloging stamps from early to the mid -20th Century, the stockbook is probably the "meatiest" of the group, as it is loaded with medium and higher priced items, including early used 19th Century singles and pairs, turn-of-the-century including several dollar value Columbians, numerous Washington-Franklins including high values and coils, some plate blocks, strips and back-of-the-book issued, the two-volume collection also contains valuable stamps, particularly from the early period, with used #5A and #8 noted, as well as some varieties, condition is mixed, but there are plenty of fine-very fine and highly saleable stamps throughout; the unusual layout of this collection will make examination a little more challenging, however the patient viewing should be greatly rewarded.
