image Mint and Used Collections in Two Albums, both with stamps from 1849 to 1971, mixed mint and used. One album has a notation that there was a catalogue value of $15,000 in 1999, but stamps may have been removed, so inspection is recommended. Nevertheless, there are still many high catalogue value stamps, for example #7 (pair, $720), 96 (three used copies $210), 126 (two used copies $150), see scans for more. A good selection of early material, with good potential for cancels such as numbered lozenges, c.d.s., etc. Two useful collections. JG (Image)

image Three Scott Specialty Albums, 1849 to 1974, two of which contain used and one mint. The two used appear to complement each other in that what is missing in one can often be found in the other. Strong in early material, with much postmark interest as well as many higher value stamps throughout. We note two 5fr Napoléon (both with faults), semi-postals near complete in period, better air mail issues and postage dues, note Colonies #1-6 (mint and used) and more, note that most of the souvenir sheets are missing. Catalogue value appears to be very high (the two used albums contain a combined older value of over $20,000, not counting the album of mint). A very nice lot for the specialist, see scans for just a taste. JG (Image)

image Large Carton with Many Thousands of Stamps, either on or off paper, loose and on pages. Includes bundleware, lots of Peace and Commerce issues, commemoratives from the 1930s on piece and much more. Needs careful inspection to better appreciate the quantity and quality, and should be opportunities for postmarks and better stamps. JG (Image)

Well worth a close inspection to better appreciate the quantity and quality. A great lot for the enthusiast. (Image)

image Lot of Retired Dealer Stock, with hundreds of mint and used singles and sets from all eras, mostly in priced and identified 102 cards or in stock sheets. Many cards are priced in the $20 to $100s or more range so high total catalogue value, unchecked by us for accuracy of the identification or prices, so inspection is recommended. Quality is overall good, with some faults in the earlier material, online scans only show a portion of the lot. This lot includes France, Togo, Réunion, Congo, French Morocco, Burundi, Madagascar, New Herbrides, Wallis & Futuna, Tunisia, St Pierre & Miquelon, Martinique, Cameroon, Andorra, Algeria and some others.
