Valuable old-time mint accumulation neatly arranged in thousands of glassines, some higher cataloging early issues, but a large portion of the value is in the 1890-1930 period, with singles, blocks, plate blocks and strips, commemoratives are quite strong, with hundreds of items from the Columbian and Trans-Mississippi series, the low and middle values with numerous singles and blocks, at least six dollar value Columbians, plus plate pairs and strips, the later commemoratives are similarly comprehensive, also useful regular issues, back-of-the-book including air posts, special deliveries, postage dues, officials, Office in China, savings stamps and more, also some proofs and essays, nearly all o.g., somewhat mixed condition though we note a surprising number are never hinged (particularly in the plethora of blocks) and overwhelmingly of fine-very fine appearance; this lot should prove to be incredibly useful for a dealer, as the retail value will undoubtedly be many multiples of our conservative estimate.
