Argentina, Old-Time Postal Stationery Wrapper Horde, 1870s-96, over 1,300 vintage wrappers, 95% from the 1870s' Juan de Arenales Issue to the 1896 first embossed Liberty Head issue. Not sure where this lot has been over the past 120 years, but it appears mostly untouched except for the addition of a handful of more recent items. As is typical for most Argentina lots many are postmarked Buenos Aires, but closer examination reveals many smaller towns and items are mostly domestically used, but there is a sizeable proportion of uprated items sent to Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, and others part of the world—even to Dorpat, Russia. In addition to the originating cancel there are numerous with numbered 'CARTERO', BUZON', 'EXPEDICION', 'DOMICILIO LISTAS', 'OFICINA DE LISTAS', 'OC/CS' as well as boxed 'DEVUELTO OFICINA DE IMPRESOS'. There are many numbered individual town name cancels (it appears that the Argentine Post Office had its own special cancels for items sent with wrappers), as well as 'T' markings on Postage Due and returned items. There is one example of H&G #20b with misspelt 'REPULIBCA' (this alone catalogues $300 in the specialized Argentinian Catalogue). This lot is worthy of detailed examination by a specialist as there are many different color and printing varieties not referenced by Higgins & Gage. A detailed examination of the addressees may also be fruitful. There is one item sent to the former Argentinian President Carlos Pellegrini. Condition, given the age of the horde, is very good with the occasional edge creases and a very few with small edge tears. As is typical, some items are not cancelled on the stamp but are usually cancelled on the back. This is an excellent lot for somebody to research and break down with the aim of creating a specialized collection or for a dealer to sell the better items on eBay and wholesale the others as small bulk lots. An excellent opportunity at the low estimate. Shipping charges apply - weight 9.2 lbs. (Image)

Denmark & Colonies, Almost Complete Mint Collection, 1851-2011, In two hingeless Stender albums in excellent condition and with all stamps in black mounts, an absolutely breathtaking collection of Denmark, Schleswig, Danish West Indies and the Faroe Islands. Perhaps it would be easier listing what isn't here, as it is, with the exception of minor varieties, very nearly complete, but we'll stick to the regular formula. Of the better items from the motherland are the following: #1, 3-6, 6 reprint (AFA #N5), 7-8, 8 reprint (AFA #N10 with cert), 9, 11-14, 16-20 (#20 with cert), 25-34 (both normal & inverted frames), 35 (with cert), 41-52 (normal & inverted frames), 65-69, 72-78, 79-81, 82, 97-134, 135, 136-37, 138-54, 159-60, 164-75, 181-91, 232-38, 246a-49a, 246c-49c, C1-5, J1-7, J9-24, O1-3, O1a, P1-10, P11-15, P17, P19-20, Q1-11. And it really doesn't end there, as there are so many extras, such as booklets, se-tenant pairs & strips including those with advertising labels, tête-bêche & gutter pairs, Framas, miniature sheets from the 2000s and numerous pages with variants not listed in Scott (we will include these scans). Schleswig is also nearly complete with the following premium items: O1-10, O12, O14, and even an inverted overprint (AFA #7x). Danish West Indies also does not disappoint and has many stellar items: 1, 1a, 4, 5-11, 13, 13a, 14-15, 16-20, 18b, 31-39, 43-50, some fantastic bisects used on piece, #6c and 18a (also on cover), and a complete set of Christmas seals (1907-16). Modern Faroes is complete from 1975-2010 and also includes #2-6 and Denmark #88a with certificate (bisect on piece postmarked in Thorshavn). In a word, INCREDIBLE! overall Fine to Very Fine.

Egypt, Highly Specialized Mint & Used Collection, 1866-1952, A clean and meticulously labeled homemade collection of mint and used in one binder. Although laid out according to Scott number, it dives much deeper into color varieties & shades, plate variations, inverted watermarks and perforated and imperforate varieties referencing other philatelic works on Egypt, most notably The Nile Post by Joseph Chalhoub & Charles Hass. Just a few of the better stamps you will encounter include used #1d, 4, 6, 15, 42a (inverted surcharge), 224 and mint 3c, 108-113, 149, 168-171, 172-176, 189-190, 224, L2. And if that wasn't specialized enough for you, the collector then presents six pages on Egyptian cancellations, often citing Peter Smith's in-depth research from his book Egypt: Stamps & Postal History. This is then followed by additional varieties outside the scope of Scott, mint strips & blocks, Interpostal Seals from the 1880s, some postal stationery and revenues, and Egyptian stamps used in Sudan. As a bonus, we are including a stockbook of very useful mint and used duplicates. We urge you to have a look at this unique collection presented in its entirety online.
