A high octane mint and used 19th and 20th century collection. Loaded with regular issues, commemoratives, airmails, Back of the Book, and a bit of Confederate States. Many blocks and plate blocks are present. Started at age 14, this lot plus others (in addition to a respectable number of single lots) represent a lifetime philatelic adventure for a gentleman of the Northwoods. Condition is quite mixed with a huge amount of catalog to consider. A serious contender. (Image)

A sparkling 1847 to 1979 mint and used front of the book collection mounted in Scott National albums with slip cases. The 19th century is predominantly used however, there is a sprinkling of worthwhile mint and some of what we checked was NH. The same pattern exists starting with the 20th century, but mint is dominate and again there appears to be a lot of NH. The condition is a little mixed yet pleasant. Extensive viewing is recommended as this lot will not be overlooked. (Image)

A colossal 19th and 20th century mint and used old-time collection. Assembled by a non-discriminating collector during the era when condition and centering wasn’t everything and filling spaces was. Runs from 1847 to 1960 and includes regular issues, commemoratives, airmails, Special Deliveries, Postage Dues, Shanghai Overprints, Parcel Posts. Almost no revenues to be found. A small stockbook with a few stamps thrown in for a bonus. Condition and centering are extremely mixed. Huge amount of catalog value involved being offered for what it is. (Image)

Substantial collection in three Lighthouse hingeless albums going to 1982. Starts slow with mostly used classics. Picks up speed with the large Banknotes which begin to include mint. From the small Banknotes forward, the collection is almost all mint. Robust Washington-Franklins are here although the coils (all singles, no pairs) were not counted in our estimate. Fourth Bureau, Presidentials, Liberty series, White Plains, Kansas-Nebraskas, C1-6, C18, Q1-10 and 12 and much more are here. Condition varies but most are fine or better and never hinged becomes more prevalent during the Washington-Franklins. The Columbians and the page for them was removed prior to the owner’s consignment to us. Otherwise, a solid collection deserving of an extended view. (Image)

A beefy 1847-1921 mint and used regular issue collection (no commemoratives, airmails, or BOB) nestled on hingeless pages. The earlier issues tend to be more used then turn mainly mint later starting with the early Bureau issues. Juicy higher values are present adding meat to the bone. Condition is mixed so step up to the plate to experience the taste of value offered. (Image)

An exciting 1851-2005 mint and used collection nestled in six Scott Platinum albums with slip cases. Almost entirely used through the first Bureau issues then predominantly mint. The early issues nearly complete minus the high-powered items. The Washington-Franklins are well represented, as are the airmails, and a few areas of the Back of the Book. Later issues include the $5.00 values of the Presidential and Liberty sets, and the face value has some higher values to add to the mix. Condition is a bit mixed yet overall clean and fine appearing. A solid assembly worth a serious look. (Image)

A better collection in three Harris albums. There are many duplicated pages one mint and one used and much of the mint is never hinged. Complete sets abound and in the plate block album perforated Parks, Famous Americans and Overrun Countries are complete. There is a good selection of back of the book material including officials, revenues, ducks and cut squares. A very desirable collection for your viewing. (Image)

A hum dinger of a consignment remainder accumulation. Includes a modern single, and plate block collection, stockbooks of lower to medium mint sorted by Scott and commemorative panels. More of the same that has not been sorted. The postage part is by far the bulk of the value with a soft count of over $6500.00 face that include sheets, booklets, self-adhesive booklet panes, large pieces, and individual scrap. A serious look is recommended for the numerous possibilities available. (Image)

An old time 1847 to 1976 two volume mint and used collection mounted in Scott National Albums. Early 19th century examples are almost all used and contains some better issues, some with certificates. Starts turning a combination mint and used around the Columbians. Early commemoratives include the dollar values and most of the higher values are accompanied by certificates. Very spotty in the Washington-Franklins. 1920 period to the 1970’s is mostly mint and essentially complete. Also includes the early airmails. The 1930 Zeppelins all have small hinge remnant. A bit of the Back of the Book sighted with an excellent representation of the First Issue revenues perfed types. Condition is quite mixed so take a closer look. Compact value for the everyday collector. (Image)

A wide assortment of U. S. stamps in a stockbook beginning with the imperfs and continuing through the earlies including grill issues, pictorials, and banknotes. Continuing with bureaus, early commemoratives,Columbians and Trans Miss to fifty cent and in the early twentieth century there are many high values. It concludes at the back of the book including early air mail, early special delivery, parcel post and revenues. The last three rows of the stockbook are not to be missed since they are mint issues. A wonderful group worth exploring. (Image)

Not your typical United States collection in a Scott American album from 1847-1950 in a pizza size box. Includes hundreds and hundreds of mint and used stamps in full, partial sets, singles, souvenir sheets, and BOB in old-style clear mounts. Needs slow and careful viewing as there are some unusual issues and conditions to be found. Also when originally assembled some of the Scott numbers have changed since the collector mounted his stamps. Has been in storage since the mid-1970s. Please check out the copious scans. You will not be disappointed. (Image)

A better selection than normally encountered of about two hundred items. A number of high values plus some good back of the book make this a desirable lot. Worth the few minutes needed for a thorough viewing. (Image)

In three albums, on pages, loose mint and used great for putting together a fine collection. First album has better Columbians, Pan-Pacific, Washington Franklins including coils, and #523. Also accompanying these are airmails with Zeps, Ducks complete mostly used to 1974, Parcel Post and Parcel Post Postage Due complete mostly mint. Loose material has two cent reds, ten cent Famous Americans and a Hamilton # 1053 plus there are loose pages to view. Take time to inspect and enjoy. (Image)

Collection to 1969 with desirable items. The earlies are of mixed condition as to be expected and some have been regummed. High denominations including the four and five dollar Columbian are present.. There are other items that would improve most collections. Worth a careful look. (Image)

United States plate block collection in six Scott Specialty albums and slipcases to about 2010 in two cartons. Includes regular and commemorative issues. Value rises quickly having blocks and plates as well as high values including priority mail from the last thirty years. There is at least $3,200 face which does not involve the earlier plates of two cent Reds, Farleys, Parks, Famous Americans, three cents’ Purples 1926-34 regular issues and Prexies to the two dollars. Likewise, incorporates a file having hundreds more in never put away purchase. Final call entails a Recall Legends sheet. Not to be missed. (Image)

Two volume mint and used 19th and 20th century commemorative and regular collection nested in Lindner Hingeless albums. Decent representation of the 1847-1903 periods however, a little light in the Washington-Franklin areas. Just a bit of the airmails spotted with hardly any Back of the Book. Condition is mixed. Good lot for expansion. (Image)

A useful two volume 1851-2002 used collection mounted in Minuteman albums. Decent selection of 19th century with the Banknotes and commemoratives well represented. Respectable assembly of Washington-Franklins with numerous high values. Appears nearly complete from the 1920 on. Early airmails are present, yet no other Back of the Book spotted. Condition is quite mixed close examination is recommended. Solid candidate for further expansion. (Image)

Ac assortment of lower to medium value mostly 20th century commemoratives, regular issue, a bit of airmails and BOB, loads of NH. Centering is quite mixed and some duplication in some areas. Easy lot to figure and being offered at today’s market prices. (Image)

Straight forward Federal Duck collection. Nested within are singles (RW1-RW66), a few plate blocks including RW32-34, RW40-RW79. Face of the $5.00 and above items amount to over $2500. Also thrown in for a bonus is an accumulation of State Ducks including Minn. 1-14, a scattering of various other states in plate block form and a complete sheet of Hawaii #1. Condition is mixed, a solid foundation to build upon of a very popular area. (Image)

A unique test booklet and related areas accumulation of a few thousand by a specialist. Items we were able to find in the Scott catalog were TD117 (4 panes of 50) x 54, TBD12 x 50, TD12a (hundreds), TBD32 x 65, TBD36 x 10, TDB44 x 13. There were other items found but not in the quantities of the fore mentioned. We are estimating the catalog value to be over $25,000.00. What is a lot of this type of specialty in shear massive quantities worth? We will know after the bidding stops. (Image)

A bulky accumulation/collection that almost all the value is in postage in various forms. Conservatively counted out well over $3800.00 with most of the value is in 32¢ and above. Some cheap US, General Foreign and lightly used supplies thrown in for a bonus. Good lot for the industrialist type. (Image)

Fourteen stockpages with mostly mint including back of the book. Line pairs, plate singles and ducks have been spotted. Well worth taking a few moments to view. (Image)

Closet clean accumulation in three large cartons. This mostly 1980’s to 1990’s assembly boils down to postage housed in Harris albums, 3 ring binders small boxes and loads of loose. Gobs of self-adhesive sheets with much 32¢ values and a few higher sprinkled about. Some crimping from shrinking mounts. A quick check amounted to over $2500 in face. Lots of other stuff that will need to be sorted. Looks like a lot of fun if this is your thing. (Image)

A wonderful stock of late nineteenth and early twentieth century including Columbians, Pan Am, Parks, Prexies, banknotes and a few Kansas-Nebraska. Other desirable items both mint and used are present. Well worth your time to view this group. (Image)

A wonderful selection of Washington Franklins on stockpages. Starting with #331 and continuing through the issue there are coil pairs, strips, blocks plus better items like an apparent # 539 (see image) which should be expertized. Also included are a few commemoratives of the era. The Washington/Franklin specialist will want to view this group. Inspect and enjoy. (Image)
