Worldwide, Postal History with Emphasis on Asia, 1857-1980s, Many hundreds of covers of which approximately one-third would be filed under the United States, but not your usual fare, as it is primarily made up of WWII ship cancels, patriotic covers, APOs, first flights, etc. The rest is heavily weighted towards Asia with large amounts from Hong Kong (mostly modern), the Philippines, Ryukyus, as well as China and Korea. Much to explore and we recommend doing that on-site, yet here is just a sampling from the Ryukyus, with better FDCs, such as #14 (5, one as block), 18 (6, two in blocks, another autographed by Major General Ralph Stearley & Commanding General Robert Beightler), C1-3 on an airletter to New York, and some select unused postal stationery, like UX4 & UX9 (2), generally Fine to Very Fine, additional images online.
