Collection on 26 Lighthouse Pages, with NS, PEI and Newfoundland. This mostly mint collection was unfortunately once damaged by water. The stamps were mostly all taken out of their mounts to dry, then placed back in. Some have resulted in unused (no gum) condition, some still have some gum which is mostly glazed by the mounts, a few have had their ink melt onto the page and some are undamaged. This collection would have catalogued quite high, and will need careful inspection to see the extent of the damage, which varies. The collection has been gone through to establish a "market value" ($2,623) which was used to perform an insurance claim. Sold as is, see scans online for an idea of the general appearance. (Image)

Mint and Used Collection in Four Volumes, 1850-2000, the first three (1850-1979) are Lindner hingeless with matching slipcases and the fourth (1980-2000) is a Lighthouse hingeless. The collection is close to complete with many varieties not listed in Scott and overall has exceptionally nice quality. We note #1, 7, 8 (x2), 18 (unused), 1867 and 1874 50kr used, latter with Senf handstamp, 196c (used), 1908-16 Josef (mint or used), 1910 Birthday (mint missing 5kr), 1920 overprinted Parliament imperforate (lightly hinged), 1931 Rotary mint (all signed), 1931 Poets (very lightly hinged), 1932 Scenes (very lightly hinged), 1932 Artists (very lightly hinged and used), 1933 Ski Federation (used), 1933 Stagecoach on granite paper (hinged), Newspaper P1 and P7 (used), P4 and P5 (unused reprints) and more. Volume 4 is complete mint never hinged. Volumes 1 to 3 are two collections, with the used hinged to the page and the mint (usually) in the clear mount on the page. Often there are very fine used complete not visible under the mint as you turn the pages. An examination of several dozen stamps suggests most if not all of the mint after 1953 are never hinged. Overall lovely quality and includes pencil notes by owner including less than a dozen noted with (trivial) faults. (Image)

Collection of 1851-1856 Mercury Newspaper Stamps, all mounted on 8 pages, and includes 71 stamps, including 4 blocks of 4. Includes some obviously forgeries, possible reprints and some that appear to be genuine (would have a high catalogue value, if so). Some of the forgeries are identified by owner as Fournier or Spiro, and we note an original photograph of a Sperati forgery as well as some stamps with the same design as was used for the 1933 WIPA exhibition. The lot also includes 10 copies of Scott #P7, the 1861 Newspaper stamp. A great lot for the specialist, rarely offered. All pages are scanned online. (Image)

Mint and Used Collection in a Shaubek Album Plus Three Stockbooks, the album goes from 1858 to 1969, with over 2,000 stamps including back of the book, decent Eupen & Malmedy but somewhat sparse after 1960. The very few faults are noted by the owner. Semi postals include many full sets and are mostly mint hinged or never hinged, the balance primarily used. The three stockbooks include issues after 1969, early precancels and duplicates. Overall quality is nice especially the mint semi postals, and the total catalogue value is likely in excess of $5,000.
