image Meticulously Assembled, Near Complete, Used Collection, from Classics to Recent, on Scott album pages in a padded blue binder with a slip cover. The aim of the collector was clearly to assemble the finest possible collection based on the quality of the postmarks. As such, this extensive collection is composed almost exclusively of c.d.s. cancelled stamps; with a huge number having clean, well positioned postmarks. The collection is missing only a handful of stamps by album illustration, with just a few of the souvenir sheets never hinged. Of the c.d.s. stamps, only a few are roller or machine cancelled, the rest are true c.d.s. The collection has numerous extras, such as plenty of better shades listed in the Norgeskatalogen catalogue, as well as some blocks of four with neat central postmarks. This is a partial listing of the stamps with better postmarks, Scott # 7 Vaagen, 18 Dal, 26 Ure, 41 Holen, 44 Sel, 66 Skjoldehavn, 68 Rysfjaeren, 70 Hull (British ship postmark), 75 Ilseng, along with many others. There is a great deal of additional material at the back of the regular issue section as well as at the end of the album, with unmounted modern material, plus a number of covers of interest. For reference only, the Scott catalogue value for least expensive is $10,163. Overall fine to very fine and easily one of the nicest Norway collections we have handled. (Image)
