France, Nearly Complete Mostly Used Collection, 1849-1976, A Scott Specialty album with another one of those collections which is easier to list the stamps not present, because it's almost all here. Sans the souvenir sheets, the only other empty spots for the general issues are Scott #4, 8, 17, 43, 49 & 71! For back-of-the-book, the only vacancies are B10, three airmail stamps, and a small handful of postage dues. Just a few mint along the way, most notably 197 (with Sismondo certificate), 246, B12-19, C1-2. And when you're viewing the scans, it's no accident that the majority of early issues are well-centered with light cancels; the collector obviously went out of their way to obtain the finest examples possible making this one very special collection indeed, overall Fine to Very Fine.
