German States most of the collection from the Frugal Philatelist's (Gilhousen) estate. No Bavaria to speak of. Embraces Baden through Wurttemberg surprisingly complete (over 90%) for the Scott listed along with a few varieties, circle date and numeral cancels, specialized Michel listed, marked forgeries, and a few covers. Cleverly and accurately annotated in his very readable style with his research easily gleaned by beginner and expert alike. Plenty of power in: Baden, Brunswick, Hamburg, Hanover, Lubeck, Mecklenburg, North German Confederation, Oldenburg, Prussia, Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Wurttemberg. Just enough cheap Bavarian postal stationery included to make one wonder what happened to the Bavarian stamps. One of the better States groups to pass through here in a long time in better than usual condition. Perfect for any collection or stock. (Image)
