image European Countries and Area Collections and Stock, 1880s to late 1990s, with hundreds of loose album pages, a stockbook, manila stock pages and at least 200 dealer cards containing Netherlands, Germany and area, Austria, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Ireland, Greece, Turkey and Malta. Other countries, colonies and occupations included, even if beyond the geographic area, but under the influence of the European ones. The Netherlands, Germany and Turkey in particular are quite extensive and represent high owner-identified catalogue value with many complete sets mint or mint never hinged. We noted some German postal history and Swiss first day covers as well. While difficult to describe in the detail it deserves, we have tried to capture an overview in the many online photos and a close look will reveal plenty of happy surprises. Overall fine to very fine. (Image)
