Iceland, Land of Fire and Ice Collection, 1876-2012. Marvelous opportunity to organize the makings of a great Icelandic collection; mostly unused collection on Minkus pages with dozens of auction winnings not yet added; collector focused on fresh, well-centered stamps, spot check of stamps in clear mounts shows disturbed gum; effort was made to collect varieties and document flyspecking but some stamps were misplaced (O13-19 were placed in the regular issues); the few used noted on pages had the Revenue "Tollur" cancel; lovely MNH C4-8, C9-11, C15-20, mostly complete post WWII to 1975; some of the auction winnings you get to add include Scott 2 (used), 4 (used), 6 (unused), 7 (used), 10, 13 (used), 67 (used), 76 (LH), 143 (used), plus a few dozen dealer counter cards with sets and low duplication multiples with catalog values in the $100-250 range; faulty (but visually attractive) examples of #1 unused, 2 (2 copies) hinged, 8, and 9; pair of Registered Zeppelin mail with Iceland overprints, card addressed to the United States and the envelope to Germany; dozen mostly real photo unused postcards circa 1910; bonus 1936 petite envelope with attractive Thule commemoratives on cover from Greenland to Denmark; a powerful collection for assembly by the collector or as better stock for the savvy dealer, Fine to Very Fine.
