Collection of Mint and Used Peace Issues all neatly displayed in a stockbook. Includes a selection of 8c to $1 regular issues in singles and plate blocks, sometimes mint, sometimes used (these often with nice c.d.s. cancels) and we also note used private perfins for these (not counted in catalogue value). Also includes 7c airmail, 10c special delivery and 17c special delivery airmail issues, as well as OHMS perfins and G and OHMS overprints, again with mint and used and plate blocks. Regular issue plate blocks tended to be hinged and official plate blocks tended to be never hinged and very fine centered. The used plate blocks were catalogued as single stamps only. Many high value items, see scans for an idea. (Scan a) (Scan b) (Scan c) (Scan d) (Scan e) (Scan f) (Scan g) (Scan h) (All Scans)
