Scandinavia: Sweden, The Ice Palace, 1858-1994, jam-packed in a bulging Scott Specialty album; mainly used (often two examples) in 19th and early 20th century (often mint and used), then becoming eventually almost all mint, many appearing to be never hinged in black Showguard-style mounts; a sampling includes (used unless noted): #6-12, 13-14, 16, 17-27, 66 mint and used, 197-209, 212, 213-225; also very strong Back-of-the-Book, such as #J9-J11, O2, etc.; a major highlight is the extremely extensive (appears to be several hundred) selection of booklets and booklet panes, including some scarcer ones, Fine to Very Fine with much better.
