Accumulation of Mint Never Hinged Stamps, with over one thousand stamps acquired through a mail subscription to Herrick Stamp Company during the end of the 1970s to early 1990s.

We noted some singles, blocks, souvenir sheets, booklets, all mostly commemoratives from a variety of countries within the British Commonwealth and some United States. Lot is unchecked by us but a cursory look revealed a variety of topics such as sports, historical events, insects, etc. Overall very fine.

image Old Time Mint and Used Collection, in a vintage Lincoln Stamp Album (circa 1930, half album and half catalogue, with illustrations) filled with several hundred stamps from all over the world. We noted a wide range of stamps from the 1800s to about 1930 with many better (see our several scans). Overall clean lot, with faults, but mostly with bright colours, nice clean postmarks and differs from the usual similar albums in that there were no stamps removed. Well worth a close look. (Image)

image Mint and Used Collections, starts with a Canada collection from 1859 to 1985 in black mounts in one Scott album. Sparsely filled with used stamps until 1932 then appears mostly complete until the end with mint never hinged starting in 1977. We noted several souvenir sheets, revenue stamps as well as some back of the book such as airmail, registered mail and postage due issues. There is a small lot of modern postage with over $35 in face value. Also included is a United States stamp collection in a Scott's Minuteman album, in black mounts, from 1870 to 1983. Limited representation in the early period until 1932, it appears mostly complete afterwards with mint never hinged starting in 1974. We noted several souvenir sheets and some air post stamps. Lastly, a partially filled Premier World Stamp Album with most stamps used and hinged on pages. (Image)
