1251

The high quality balance of the Floyd collection of 20th century stamps, a single stockbook containing the hundreds of stamps that were not lotted individually, nearly all different and most are singles, although a few multiples and specialized items are noted, the great majority are from 1906 to the 1940's, there are many exceptionally high quality low to medium catalog value items that were acquired by Mr. Floyd on an individual basis, fresh and well centered stamps predominate (although an occasional small flaw will be found), in addition to the more modestly valued items, we note such sets as the 1923-26 Perf. 10 Rotary Press issues, 1929 Kansas-Nebraska issues, 1935 Farley issues in center line or gutter blocks of four, plus the associated souvenir sheets, and there is a small representation of nice quality air posts, special deliveries and postage dues; all with o.g., the great majority are n.h., fine-very fine, with many better; a wonderful basis upon which to build; examination suggested (not illustrated).
