Valuable old-time collection to 1944 in a springback album, 19th century is a mix of unused and used including #1-2, 1857 Issues to 90c with several unused, 1861 Issues include unused values to 90c and various grills to 90c, 1869 Pictorial are complete unused (only one 15c value) with some additional used values, from the Bank Notes onward the collection is mostly unused or mint with many high-cataloging stamps such as 90c Bank Notes, commemoratives complete including the Columbian and Trans-Mississippi sets, Bureau Issues to $5.00, strong Washington-Franklins including dollar values and coil pairs, air posts complete including the Graf Zeppelin set, and some other back-of-the-book, the early issues are in mixed condition, the 20th century is generally o.g. and fine-very fine; the total catalog value is huge and, despite the uneven condition, there is plenty of commercial value to justify our conservative estimate.

Balance of a major United States stamp collection housed in three hingeless albums, well over 3,000 different items (including souvenir and miniature sheets), beginning with 1851 issues and continuing through 1997, almost all are mint or unused, with only a few scattered used classics, the 19th century while spotty has an impressive number of scarce to rare mint/unused stamps, although the quality is decidedly mixed, with many stamps having minor to sometimes major flaws, for example there are values to the 30c in the 1857-61 issues, the 1861-66 issues to the 24c, several grills, various 1869 Pictorials to the 30c (including a couple of re-issues), Bank Notes to the 90c, there are Bureau issues to the $5.00, Columbians include the $1.00 to $5.00 (less the $2.00), once one moves on to 20th century issues the overall quality of the collection picks up considerably and contains a large number of medium priced stamps in salable condition, with a valuable run of Washington-Franklin heads, many of which are never hinged, includes coil singles and pairs (non-genuine items not counted in our evaluation), early commemoratives are nice as well, from about the mid-1920's on the collection is nearing completion and is quite clean, back-of-the-book material is modest and is limited to air posts (including n.h. #C1-6), special deliveries, a few parcel posts and Offices in China; as previously mentioned the 19th century is in very mixed condition, but improves as the collection continues, early material is either o.g., unused or occasionally regummed, later material includes many n.h. stamps; the overall catalog value will prove to be quite high, certainly well in excess of $100,000.00; 33 PF or PSE certificates accompany.

High cataloging collection balance to about 1930 in a Lighthouse hingeless album, with high value used and unused classics (many cataloging over $1,000.00 each) in very mixed quality and better mint 20th century in fine-very fine condition that includes a decent group of Washington-Franklin heads, also a little back-of-the-book; as mentioned above, the condition ranges from faulty to clean saleable very fine stamps, and therefore inspection is paramount.

236/725, C1/QE4

#236/725, C1/QE4, Desirable high quality mint collection balance of over 250 stamps on White Ace pages, containing issues from 1893 through 1932, the large majority of the stamps having been selected by a meticulous collector with an eye for exceptional centering, large margins and freshness of color, while some of the early commemoratives (Columbians, including 30c and 50c, and the Pan-Americans cplt.) are not quite as choice as the rest of the collection, stamps from this early period are nevertheless sound and salable, from about 1900 on the regular issues are the most impressive part of this balance containing a large number of modestly priced stamps that were acquired by the collector on an individual basis, often at substantial premiums over their catalog values, we note some particularly choice Washington-Franklin stamps (including coil singles), there are some back-of-the-book issues such as air posts, special deliveries, postage dues and parcel post postage dues, all of the stamps have o.g., and a great number are n.h., all are fine-very fine or better, with an impressive number of extremely fine stamps present; eight PF certificates and one APS certificate accompany.
