7/893,C1/Q12

#7/893, C1/Q12, Exceptionally high cataloging collection of well over 950 different items in two volumes, the majority are singles, but there are many coil pairs and a few souvenir sheets as well, being a very comprehensive collection of stamps from 1851 through 1940, where completeness was the primary goal rather than necessarily condition, the regular issue pages are impressively well filled and the vast majority are used, many stamps are found throughout that catalog between $100.00 and $2,000.00 each (some even higher), 1857-61 issues are complete less only two stamps, 1861-66 issues are complete, the grilled issues are well represented with many rare stamps noted, 1869 Pictorials are complete, the Bank Notes are missing only a few stamps, Bureau issues complete less only the unwatermarked $5.00, 1902-03 issues are complete as well, the Washington-Franklin issues are nearing completion and the coil stamps are almost all in pairs (a few not counted as being questionable), the few mint items are all better stamps such as 1908 5c Imperforate in a pair, 1917 5c Carmine in a block of six, Kans.-Nebr. overprints complete, etc.; commemorative issues, which are all mint (or unused/regummed), are complete less only #404, includes complete 1893 Columbians (the $5.00 is very well centered, with disturbed o.g., accompanied by a PFC), and the 1898 Trans-Mississippis are complete also (the $2.00 accompanied by an "unused, o.g." PFC); back-of-the-book issues include all air posts mint (less the 1930 Graf Zeppelins), special deliveries complete (mixed mint and used), postage dues are very solid and are all used, and concluding with mint sets of Offices in China and Parcel Posts; condition is quite mixed with many higher catalog stamps having varying degrees of faults (usually minor), however there are many stamps that are in very collectable condition and some are actually quite choice, examination therefore is essential to fully evaluate this valuable collection, and to appreciate that its overall catalog value certainly approaches $100,000.00; twelve certificates accompany.

Sizable mint postage accumulation of thousands of stamps contained in two cartons, approximately one third of the face value will be found in full sheets, with numerous 3c and 4c sheets noted, and continuing up to modern postage, about $750.00 face is in modern stamps (mainly singles and blocks) mounted in two albums, and the remaining face will be found in sixteen small cigar boxes which contain blocks of four and plate blocks (the latter predominating) in glassine envelopes, often containing more than one item, therefore the face value of this group has been very conservatively estimated in the overall total, some of this material is far better than face value with issues dating as far back as the mid-1920's, o.g., 99% n.h., nearly all fine-very fine.
