Bavaria, Highly Specialized Old-Time Collection of Thousands, 1849-1920. From the Schwarzer Einer to the last of the Officials, a huge and incredibly detailed collection, presented in a jam-packed specialized Marquette Sectional Loose Leaf Album (worth viewing for itself); mix of mint and used, with many issues amazingly offered in parallel; with duplication throughout, the "main" collection is presented on the heavier Marquette pages, with additional examples (usually offering a good range of shades and cancel types) and varieties on onionskin pages; the only blank space we see is for Scott #1a; including the aforementioned #1 unused, highlights include (used, unless noted) #3, 7-8 (2 each), 12 (mint left margin pair with full o.g. and four full margins!), 14 (3), 14a, 19b, 21 (3), 22, 31-32, 79a (two mint as block of four, 1 used), 79b (mint in a block of four), all the Luitpolds and Ludwigs (the latter identified as to pre-War and Wartime printings), 97b & 100b (2 each), 241-241a vertical pair, scads of overprinted issues including #237 (left margin gutter block of four), 237a (single and block of four mint, 1 tied on piece), 259a (mint corner block of four), 272a, B1a-B3a; imperforate singles, #CL1 (7—yes, seven: 1 mint, 1 uncanceled on card, plus 5 on card or cover and cancelled Munich), plus the uncommon such as position blocks, a cancelled 10pf Telephone Ticket, Telegraph and Railway Freight stamps mint, used Revenues, Returned Letter stamps from Augsburg and Speyer, Bread Ration stamps, postal stationery, a few covers, Proofs…we could go on; suffice it to say: this is your grandfather's collection; they don't make them like this anymore, Fine to Very Fine with much better throughout, see a sampling online.
