Cuba, Sensationally Stupendous Postal History Accumulation. Filling six cover albums, 2 binders, and six long stock drawers, a breathtaking holding with breadth and depth almost never encountered (easily thousands in total); the earliest material, buried in one of the stockbooks, are four stampless covers from 1847-50, with a solid handful or so of US Administration items, the vast majority being from independent Cuba through about the mid-1980s; all but a handful are commercial or personal covers—there is very little philatelic in nature here; to give a sense of what you'll find, we particularly note a staggering array of frankings, loads of Airs including First Flights to and from Cuba along with Rocket Mail covers and photos; commemorative and special event covers; Ambulante, Paquebot, perfins, Censors; corner card and advertising covers; mint wrappers and message-reply cards; meters uprated and uprating; a Scott #275a used on cover, a 1920 oversized Registered cover from the Bank of Nova Scotia in Havana to Chicago, and more and besides; a once-in-a-lifetime potential goldmine for the philatelic historian, with much identified by Scott or Edifil number on pre-printed cards, Fine to Very Fine with better, give yourself plenty of time to review; a rewarding lot.
