Old world cover and used postal stationery accumulation of over 300 items put away decades ago. Strong Germany especially States and Colonies. A serious collection put together during the 1920s. Huge catalog in mixed condition. Uses old German hinges, mucilage and flour paste to hold the easily salvageable entires and covers in place in an old turn of the last century scrapbook. Includes covers and entires from all over the world. Great to view a holding like this that is in its original collection from two generations back. Personal inspection of the handful of Thurn and Taxis folded letters will be especially valuable in forming a productive bid. (Image)

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)
