1211 Plate number accumulation, this has to be, by far, the strangest lot that we have ever offered, however we should be excused because we were forced to it by one of our "good" clients, it is strange because there is not a single stamp in the lot, just pieces of the selvage with plate numbers as removed from blocks or singles, this is a box with about 60 glassines stuffed with these little pieces of selvage, we estimate that there is at least 10,000 here, period ranges from as early as the 1920's-30's to relatively modern, our eccentric client swears that there are collectors with a passion for plate numbers who would really want a lot such as this to while away the winter hours searching for that elusive plate number he knows exists but has not been able to document, well here it is. Est. 150-200
