image Group of Six Well Filled Stockbooks, covering the entire German Area to about year 2000: the former states, the Reich, East and West Germany, the Colonies the occupations by and of Germany, Berlin, Saar, the regular, semi-postals and other back of the book all are to be found in various quantities but generally reasonable duplication rarely exceeding 20 copies and more usually about 5 or fewer copies. Mint, hinged and MNH, and used are mixed together, note the large proportion of mint from 1950 on and even larger for the 1970s and 1980s both for regular and semi-postals. A very large trove to be mined for cancels and used example of inflation era stamps. Quality is much better than the usual stockbooks. (Image)

image Used Collection in Two Lighthouse Hingeless Albums to 1976, with stamps selected for quality and attractive postmarks. In the first volume to 1945, we noted the 1872-4 Scott 8, 11 and 12 (pen cancel) (CV $680), 25 and 28 (CV $825) as well as Scott 117 (CV $200), 363-5 (CV $202) and C20-6 (CV $263). We did not catalogue the 1923 inflation stamps, nor the officials, and for those we did catalogue in this volume, this amounted to $8,202. The uncatalogued second album is virtually complete from 1949 to 1976, for regular as well as semi-postals. The 1945-9 Allied occupation period is the only section that is not as advanced. A very fine collection. (Image)
