753 803-834, 839-851 image1938, Presidential issue, balance of the Richard Levy collection (Scott 803-834, 839-851), Handsomely presented in three large binders, the series is arranged in denomination order, with singles (many with shades), plate blocks (of many of the plates used over the years), First Day Covers variously cacheted, varieties and oddities, plus usages (solo, single, and mixed).

Stamp highlights include a striking 1¢ foldover horizontal strip of 22 (the full sheet width plus gutter plus additional column at right); complete panes of the ½¢ and 1½¢ Canal Zone overprint; 1½¢ St. Louis MO precancels (pairs and a complete pane) showing the part-perforated and imperforate-between varieties; 1½¢ plate block #22880, the second "8" inverted; all three printings of the $1 (#832, 832c, 832g); doctor blade errors, etc.

Nearly every possible usage is here, with Registered, Censored, Airmail, Special Delivery, Certified, Insured, Return Receipt…sometimes with multiple rates on a single cover. There are perfins on cover, a Permit Postage payment form, a couple two-country frankings, even several wartime covers from Alaska and Hawaii to the mainland, which were censored (apparently Territory status didn't warrant trust). Destinations include the usual Hawaii/Alaska/Europe suspects, but we also find Belgian Congo, DWI (a couple decades late!!), Brazil, Curacao, Ecuador, Thailand (returned)…even the Bronx.

Solo usages abound, including many of the difficult to rare denominations; we note 4½¢ sheet, 7¢, 11¢, 16¢ (3!), and $1 (2!!).

The collection holds over 360 covers (including First Days), with highlights including a 3¢ on White House invitation from Eleanor Roosevelt with all enclosures; a 3¢ First Day Cover with pre-Eye and both Electric Eye types; 4½¢ sidewise coil strip of six including a line pair, on Esso Touring Service First-Class Mail piece; 4½¢ plate block on Registered cover; 15¢ (strip of three plus 5¢) to Germany, Returned, "Service Suspended", with the rarely seen interior notice Form OC-12; 50¢ solo on Honolulu Advertiser corner card cover, and much, much more., Very Fine.
Estimate $10,000 - 15,000
