image Collection of Mint Switzerland in Two Albums, 1881-1964, consisting of many hundreds of stamps. The lot begins with a Minkus album containing a small representation of pre-1907 mint stamps including Scott #60-69 and #98-100, with strength post 1907 up to 1963. The stamps are collected by issue date, including Semi Postals and Airmails, and we estimate roughly 90% completeness for basic stamps and includes a few souvenir sheets. We note better items with Scott #s: 184 (c.v. $155), 185 (c.v. $275), 226 souvenir sheet of 4 (c.v. $350), 244-246 granite paper (c.v. $120 total), 293-305 used PAX set (#293 and #298 m.h., c.v. $788 total), B105 souvenir sheet of 4 (c.v. $175). Catalogue value for the album totaled at $4,414 (up to 1945 only, counted as mint hinged, with the possibilities of never hinged finds). The second album contains primarily mint Officials, including League of Nations and United Nations, ranging from 1935 to 1950. We note some sets cataloguing $30 and up, including Scott #7O1-7O20 (c.v. $263 total). Catalogue value for the album totaled $1,615. The lot also includes roughly 30 envelopes from the new issue service from the 1970s, along with several glassines of assorted mint sets and a few souvenir sheets (including B143, c.v. $130). Online photos show a representation of the lot. We note some small faults with the early stamps, along with a few hinge remnants. Overall fine to very fine. (Image)

image Large Switzerland Mint and Used Collection and Accumulation, 1854-2012, including semi-postals, officials and other back-of-the-book, filling 2 stockbooks. All time periods are well represented across all types of stamps in this lot, and noteworthy items are too numerous to all be mentioned. We do note 34 used imperforate "Seated Helvetia" Scott 14-40, 64 used and 44 mint perforated "Seated Helvetia" 41-68 and about 80 mint and used copies of the "Standing Helvetia" sets. We only note a used group of 89-93 (c.v. $914) though we saw at least a dozen of stamps valued $100 and more in Scott in this early group. We saw a complete 1945 Pax set cancelled with defacing parallel bars (c.v. $806) and another partial used set of the high values (c.v. $723) and a mint 185 (c.v. $275). Semi-postals run from B1 to B750, some mint, some used, many in both conditions, including numerous souvenir sheets and used blocks of 4. We saw mint and used B3-4 (c.v. $177), mnh pairs and used singles B4-6 (c.v. $466), mnh and used B7-11 (c.v. $317), mint and used B116 (c.v. $400), used B105 (c.v. $500) and much more. Airmails C1 and C2 are represented with mnh pairs and a mint set (c.v. $842) and a used C1 forgery. Lets not forget the Postage Dues, possibly holding surprises and the large group of mint and used officials including mint 1O1-8 (no #3) (c.v. $522), 2 mint sets 1O9-16 (c.v. $360), used 2O30 and 3O24 (c.v. $287). Finally, we counted over 720CHF (CAD $950) of recent mint valid for postage (from the early 1960s to 2012). Inspect to convince yourself that our estimate of $3,500 is very conservative. Mostly very fine, faults in earlier material. (Image)
