Japan, Incredible and Massive Postal History Accumulation of Thousands, plus More…, an extraordinary, clean and valuable hoard accumulated decades ago by a collector from a bygone era; as a result, there is nothing "modern" here, but rather we note an incredible offering of the commemorative picture post cards as listed in Higgins & Gage, mint or used, with many or most duplicated; strong classic-era used postal cards with lots of foreign cancels; scarce early "thimble" cancels; dozens of Chrysanthemum and Koban covers, both domestic and international usages, with many different I.J.P.O. English-language cancels, etc.; in addition, we note some nice Consular Service covers, lovely early picture post cards in their original covers, Postal Savings forms, loads of commemorative stamp covers and cards, early 1950s First Day Covers with Park issues, Letter Writing Week examples, etc.; simply put, a remarkable holding with perhaps a couple thousand items in all, largely Fine to Very Fine, a super lot and rare opportunity; inspection invited either in-person or via the images on the web.
