A fabulous old-time collection assembled many years ago in Costa Rica and just surfacing now. Includes many better values and over print varieties. Some sort of insect has eaten its way through the album along with several stamps. These have been clearly marked with a red “N/C”. In the case of a block and only one stamp was affected it is not counted. The Canal Zone specialist will find this group appealing. (Image)

From the Hayward Estate. Beautiful collection starting with a well above average selection of classics turning to mostly mint in the banknotes. A very strong Washington-Franklin selection is complemented by commemorative sets including Pan – Am, Louisiana Purchase, Jamestown Expo, and Pan – Pacific. There are also a White Plaines Sheet, Kansas – Nebraska sets, airmails including Scott #s 1-6, 13, 15, and 18. For the back of the book lovers the postage dues have mint issues not often encountered, also a wonderful complete Shanghai set, and a sprinkling of mint officials. There is also postage included. There are many images for the serious collector to view. You may want to enjoy viewing this selection in person. (Image)

Mostly used mounted on Aldridge pages. Exceptional quality throughout noting only one cut cancel. A scattering of handstamps and shade variations make this appealing to the specialist.

From the Hayward Estate. A collection put together by a knowledgeable collector from various auction houses. Seven have been certified. There are images of all pages for this group. This wonderful selection deserves an extended viewing. (Image)

An impressive old-time mint and used 19th and 20th century collection/accumulation. Includes a serious core collection on Scott pages. Other particles are a small batch of medium to better on sales and auction pages, some cheap mint and used sorted in glassines, and to no one’s surprise, postage in different shapes and sizes. We note in the postage there seems to be a bit of moisture exposure however, not enough to kill the deal. There is a slight ocean side aroma. Condition is mixed, yet most are better centered than normally encountered in a collection assembled years ago. Careful viewing with an aggressive attitude will place you into a competitive position.

Twenty-eight copies of Scott # 76 good for cancels with both shades represented.

Wonderful collection to 1964. The classics have better items; however, condition is mixed. An increase in quality items begins with banknotes and bureaus and makes this material able to improve most collections. The commemoratives are strong with Columbians going to the two dollar. Useful duplication throughout. There are hidden gems here and an extended viewing is recommended. (Image)

Washington Franklins are well populated, many coils, complete set of Kansas/Nebraska, Parks, Prexies and more. Take time to look through this lot for the gems. (Image)
