Impressive Old-Time Collection Offered Intact Housed in a Scott National Postage Stamp Album from 1847 to early 1970s including back-of-book. Many of the earlier album pages are supplemented with blank leaves displaying myriad shades and extensive cancellations, a wealth of material including early classics with many choice stamps, coloured cancels, dated postmarks, fancy cancels, etc. A high percentage of the value is concentrated in the 1850s-1860s period; condition is variable from mixed (faults) to superb. This impressive collection concludes with a few nice early covers and an unusual additional group of about 50 covers bearing 1893 Columbian or Small Banknote issues, sheet margin singles displaying plate number or portion of the plate imprint letters. A wonderful collection, well worth close examination; also included is a two-volume U.N. collection to 1975. (Image)
