Winter, with the 1pf, 3pf, 4pf, 6pf (x2), 8pf (x2), 10pf (two, one without gum is signed STURM JBG and Zierer BPP, and the other hinged is signed Richter), 20pf and 24pf (both hinged and signed STURM JBG and Zierer BPP), 25pf, 30pf and 60pf (this one with only 80 stamps overprinted). A rare group, issued in very small quantities of between 80 and 2,000 stamps. The 10pf, 20pf and 24pf values are listed in the Michel footnote, and valued there "between €500 and €1,500" and we have thus valued all three at the lowest of the range. (Image)

Collection and Accumulation on 3 Album Pages, and in a stock card, including shade varieties. We noted one good copy of Scott 14 (c.v. $175) and 24 (faulty, $575). Many of the imperforate stamps are slightly cut into on part of one side or more. Catalogue values and numbers shown on the pages should be adjusted accordingly, an interesting and useful lot nevertheless. Some faults, else fine or better. (Image)

Extensive Mint and Used Bavaria Collection on 75 Pages, quite extensive, with a little bit of everything, including many shades, postmarks, printings, types, perforation changes, blocks, imperforates, overprints, back of the book, tête-bêche, marginal inscriptions, and more, many only listed in the Michel catalogue. Most items have a catalogue value and number penciled-in by owner, which may or may not all be accurate. Also includes a collection of Bavarian errors (mostly fly-speck inking issues) on stamps or overprints all neatly displayed on 37 well written-up pages, with colour blow-ups of the issues. A worthy collection for the German States enthusiast, loaded with useful material. Our many photos only show a small portion of the collection. (Image)

Estimate $ 500

Collection / Exhibit on the Printing Errors of Bavaria, 1849-1920, mounted on about 70 pages, many of which show a colour blow-up of the variety. The collection starts with a page showing the different types of varieties, then goes on chronologically by issue, showing mostly stamps, but also a few stationery items and franked covers. We note that most of the varieties are "fly speck" in nature, and would have been caused by over or under-inking, but there are also more outstanding ones. Of note are 5 covers franked with sets (or part sets), whose errors are illustrated and discussed on the next pages. A great collection for the Bavarian, or German States enthusiast, we have scanned some of the pages online for your viewing pleasure. (Image)

Estimate $ 200

Lot of Mint 1864-1865 Hamburg Issues, with #9 (total of 24 stamps in singles, pairs and blocks, with at least 5 different shades), 12 (two pairs and a single in three different shades), 22 (total of 45 stamps in singles, pairs and blocks) and 23 (total of 19 stamps in various multiples). There are a great variety of shades here, including some not listed in Scott, so we counted the catalogue value as all cheapest major shade only. The great majority of these are mint never hinged, with a few of the early imperforates being hinged. We have carefully examined these using the Scott and Schloss descriptions on how to identify reprints, and are fairly confident they are regular issues, but we still recommend careful examination or viewing the scans we have online. A few of the imperforates have tiny toning spots, else an overall fine to very fine lot. (Image)

Scott $ 9,510

Collection of Mostly Used Saxony Issues, with 44 stamps between #s 1 and 20c, including better shades, postmarks, etc. Most of the stamps have been catalogued (sometimes somewhat enthusiastically) by the owner; for example, we note three supposed #1 stamps, which if genuine would catalogue a minimum of $6,500 each and a quick look at Schloss indicates problems with at least two of them. Never the less, a useful collection for the German States enthusiast. Some faults noted, overall fine to very fine. (Image)
