One of the highlights include four #10 envelopes full of Admiral War Tax, sorted into MR1 to MR4, a small stockbook full of Admiral coils, a glassine with 100 (or so) 50c Admirals, some back of the book, etc. Well worth a close look to better appreciate the quantity and quality of this lot.

image Huge Lot of Used Stock, in 29 Boxes, many are sorted by catalogue number in #10 envelopes, many are in packets containing "x number of different stamps", many are in 102 cards or glassines, etc. We note both loose stamps and bundles, and sometimes bundles of bundles. The boxes are mostly identified as to their content, such as Christmas, Back of the Book, Centennials, Flags, Queens, and some by Scott number. We highly recommend examining this one in person in order to get a better idea of the sheer tonnage involved. Certainly well over a million stamps. (Image)

image Massive Lot of Used Stock in 32 Thick Volumes, From 1870s to Early 2000s, consisting of hundreds of thousands of stamps mostly sorted by catalogue number. We noted a good mixture of commemoratives and definitives with thousands of better postmarks, hundreds of precancels, perforated officials, private perfins, overprinted officials, revenues, Newfoundland, and more, leading us to believe that this inventory could be unpicked. Appears fairly complete in period, and although we saw no 50c Bluenoses, there are loads of other higher value items throughout. Unchecked by us for varieties. Duplication does not appear to be higher for any particular issue, even with definitives, which would normally take up the bulk of the lot. An incredible opportunity for possible finds and no doubt patience will be rewarded. Clean lot, overall fine to very fine. (Image)

The lot consists of both loose stamps and bundles, and sometimes bundles of bundles. Each box indicates the range of Scott numbers it contains. We note different material such as many KGV, perfins, nice postmarks, coils, precancels, definitives and commemoratives, and more (we haven't opened all the boxes). Easily over one million stamps.

image Collection of Mint Plate Blocks from 1938 to 1969, consisting of hundreds of plate blocks displayed on Bileski pages. Most are in matched sets, with duplication at times up to 15 of each.
