Extensive 1859-1979 Mint / Used Collection Housed in two Altamira hingeless albums, starting with a few dozen classics, from 1859-1890s varies from usual mixed to very fine; then quality improves from 1910s with most stamps from late 1930s on being mint, mostly NH from about 1950 on. Noted better mint sets such as #C41-C46, C47-C63, C74-C78 NH, C113 NH, C189-C197 imperf blocks, C293-C301 NH, etc. The remarkably long 1951 Arms series is present and complete (384 stamps) with vast majority post office fresh mint NH (seldom encountered as such), then appears complete mint (majority NH) from 1951 onward. Also includes officials and 1924-1942 GN perfins (Gobierno Nacional), postal fiscals and departmental stamps, plus some locals. A wonderful collection of seldom seen country.
