U.S., High Catalog Extensive Mint and Used Collection, 1847-1999. A powerful collection in a 3-volume Scott National albums, loaded throughout with $500-and-up stamps; many the more elusive ones with highlights include (*=certificate) used: #1, 8A*, 12, 13, 16*, 21, 28, 64*, 67, 72, 78a, 91, 95, 100 and 1869 pictorials complete; unused (without gum or regummed): 14*, 22, 25, 37, 38, 39, 69, 76, 78b, 86, 88, 89, 92, 151, 152, 187*, 243 & 245; mint o.g.: 40, 66TC6*, 160 (straight edge), 208, 241* (toned gum), 311 & 315; and finally mint, never hinged: 65, several lower value Columbians, 288-290, 296-299, 302-308, 326, 327, 330, 340, 358, 369, 407, 500*, 524, 547, 579, etc., etc. The Airmails are complete less the 1929 Zeppelins (C18 is XF-S, NH), but the rest of the back-of-the-book is scattered and unremarkable except for a never hinged J49 ($125). Now for the catch: condition was not always the top priority; most of the aforementioned numbers prior to the Columbians have problems, sometimes not obvious, but often visible, most notably centering; beginning with the top middle stamp, everything is generally clean and F-VF and the collection is essentially complete and never hinged from 1929 onwards. A great lot for filling spaces or for an eBay marketeer. Scott value is well in excess of $65,000. Shipping charges apply - weight 18.2 lbs.

U.S., Monumental Collection of Bisects Used on Cover, 1857-1947, With nearly 400 covers in total, this is a tremendous collection—no matter how you slice it. Including many scarce, valuable, and exhibition-worthy items spanning both 19th and 20th Century issues, this is surely one of the most extensive holdings of these uncommon items as you will ever see.
19th Century covers—all listed here accompanied by certificates—include (bisect type given in parentheses):
• #24 diagonally torn (appears bisect) with two normal tied on Valentine cover • #65 diagonal on 1898 cover with "Due 2c" in pencil and #279B (damaged) used as Postage Due on back (unaccepted bisect, probably philatelically inspired) • #222 diagonal tied on 1894 cover with two different "HELD FOR POSTAGE" handstamps, #220 used as Postage Due • Matched set of #222 diagonal (two 1898 covers, each with half of the same stamp), sent from the same person to the same addressee (one with certificate) • #226 diagonal on cover to Sierra Leone from New York with appropriate backstamps—a scarce use of this high denomination • #233 diagonal on 1897 cover • #267 diagonal on wrapper paying the 1¢ circular rate• Two 1901 covers from same source & post office: #279B diagonal and #280 bottom plate number single diagonal • #301 vertical tied on 1904 advertising cover by St. Louis World's Fair straightline cancel • #304 diagonal tied on small cover with Bryn Mawr, PA c.d.s., an unusual and scarce usage • #324 vertical tied on early 1904 cover, very fine andscarce • #329 diagonal paying the 1¢ postcard rate • #367 diagonal with normal #331 tied on Feb. 13, 1909 cover (2nd day of issue), very fine and choice usage
20th Century covers, nearly all with certificates, are no less impressive, with regular issues and commemoratives, Airs, Special Deliveries and Parcel Posts all represented. Highlights include: • #416 diagonal tied on 1913 cover, a scarce usage of this 10¢ high denomination (certificate) • #472 diagonal tied on 1917 cover with "Postage due 2 cents" handstamp, probably philatelic but scarce usage of this 10¢ high denomination (certificate) • #499 vertical tied on small mourning cover, stamp with private "ONE I ONE" hand-typed "overprint" applied, interesting usage • #503 diagonal tied on 1920 cover with sender's handwritten note "No two's or one's on hand" (certificate) • #506 bottom plate number single diagonal with normal #482 tied on 1919 cover, a wonderful and scarce bisect usage of this relatively high denomination (certificate) • #548 Pilgrim Tercentenary pair with one stamp vertically bisected, tied on June 2, 1935 cover, paying the new (as of April 15, 1925) 3rd class rate • #552 vertical on uprated albino envelope, with "FIRST DAY COVER" handstamp, interesting and scarce usage on the first day of the new 3rd class rate (Apr. 15, 1925) • #558 block of 4 with gorgeous color diagonally bisected and tied on 1923 cover, philatelic usage but scarce and attractive • #563 diagonal "tied" by penciled "OK PM" with 1930 New York City c.d.s., a scarce authorized usage for this high denomination (certificate) • #576 line block of 4 diagonally bisected and tied on 1928 cover, interesting usage • #599 pair with one stamp diagonally torn ("bisected"), tied on 1926 cover with a late usage of the "Held for Postage" handstamp (certificate) • #599A pair with one stamp diagonally bisected tied on 1929 cover, a very scarce usage (certificate) • #604 two bisected line pairs (joined vertical halves) tied on 1932 philatelic cover • #611 Harding pair with one stamp diagonally bisected tied on 1925 cover • #611 Harding diagonally bisected vertical pair tied on 1926 cover, philatelic but scarce and striking usage • #615 Huguenot-Walloon vertical tied on 1924 postcard to Canada (certificate) • #616 Huguenot-Walloon diagonal tied on 1926 cover, very scarce usage (certificate) • #642 pair with full horizontal gutter with each stamp diagonally bisected (the second half of one of the stamps has been affixed to appear complete) with normal #636 and #637, no #642 pairs with horizontal gutter have been reported, certainly a unique usage and probably a unique gutter example, exhibition piece (certificate) • #650 Aeronautics diagonal tied on 1929 cover (certificate) • #660 Kansas vertical tied on 1930 cover with normal #634 • #730 Century of Progress souvenir sheet block of 6 diagonally bisected and tied on 1933 philatelic cover (very scarce usage) • #740 National Parks tied on reverse of Special Delivery cover by indistinct 1935 R.P.O. c.d.s., probably used as a label to seal the envelope, but nonetheless a very scarce bisect usage • #751 National Parks full souvenir sheet diagonally bisected and tied on 1936 cover, scarce and choice • #778 Philatelic Exhibition full souvenir sheet diagonally bisected and tied on commercial 1936 First Day Cover, philatelic but scarce usage • #797 National Parks full souvenir sheet diagonally bisected and tied on 1935 cover to Valdres, Norway, with proper receiving c.d.s. on reverse, very scarce usage (certificate) • #815 10c Prexie diagonal tied on 1940 cover to Paris, France, paying the 5¢ surface rate, scarce usage of this high denomination • #820 15¢ Prexie diagonal tied on 1945 cover with A.P.O. 1160 (Chungking, China) c.d.s. and straightline cancel, with penned note next to stamp "No other postage available", wonderful and scarce usage of this high denomination (certificate) • #825 20¢ Prexie vertical with penned "10 cts" on stamp, used with 1¢ and 2¢ Postage Dues with penned "13 cents" across them, endorsed by Postmaster, used to pay the Special Delivery fee, with Spring Hill, TN Nov. 11, 1942 c.d.s. and killer, with "Postage Due [3] cents" handstamp despite authorization, a wonderful usage of this high denomination (certificate) • Set of five covers with bisects of 1940s stamps, each cover signed by Postmaster, including additional penned comments in some cases such as "Out of 1c stamps P.M.", plus a 1945 enclosure from the Spring Hill, TN Postmaster (J.W. Howard) explaining the reason for, and his authorization of, bisect usages during the period; fascinating material providing rare documented insight into Postmaster exception allowances for bisects • #948a 5¢ bisect from 1947 Centenary souvenir sheet used with normal #947 and #C31, tied o (Image)

U.S., Opening Salvos: A Battery of 19th-Century US Patent Envelopes. This lot, consisting of well over 60 items and built over many years, highlights the development of the American envelope—in myriad forms and formats—from around 1860 to about 1913. The range of designs is fascinating, with envelopes for every use imaginable. Their ingenuity and functionality are underlined by each having been granted a US patent.
Each item is annotated, with many identified by manufacturer, ranging from the American Bank Note Company's letter sheet essay to Weaver's Mailing Envelope, with letter sheets, cabinet photo mailers, safety and sample envelopes, and more in between. That said, roughly half the items have no maker's mark on them—a ready-made research project. There are wire-pull envelopes, perforated envelopes, amazing tab or flap arrangements and more—including a not-for-the-cat-lover-in-your-life Valentine folded letter sheet with an ad for Hood's Sarsaparilla.
In addition to these privately produced envelopes, the collection contains the first two US embossed entires by Nesbitt (Scott #U1 and U2, both used, #U1 uprated by an imperforate 3-cent adhesive, being sent from New Hampshire to California) plus two used copies of the 1887 Grant letter sheet (#U293), one of which never made it into the mail and is thus complete.
Two private wafer seals, a rivet envelope (advertising D.A. Comstock, NY, in surround), plus a stock certificate for the United States Sealed Postal Card Company, ca. 1880. The latter is the copy described by Charles Fricke in The American Philatelist. (This was the company that produced and provided the Grant sheet to the Post Office Department—free of charge to the latter—and so capital had to be raised through stocks. A copy of Fricke's article is included.)
And it must be noted: beyond the technical details, many of these covers are beautifully illustrated or embellished with embossings, clever holding devices (come dancing!), etc.
After seeing these once-available envelopes, you'll rue your next bill or advertising letter all the more. Shipping charges apply - weight 3.8 lbs. View a PDF of images for this lot Suggested Bid $4,000-6,000 (Image)
