1007   imageMagnificent Collection of Proofs and Prints, thousands of proofs and samples housed in over a dozen thick (and sometimes massive) ledger books, plus binders, stockpages, etc., a wonderful presentation of the engraver's art across all the job types where their skills would have been called upon; we note American Bank Note Company, National Bank Note Company, and US Bank Note Co. imprints, while many are cut close or without attribution; proofs include on-paper, die-sunk and hybrid varieties; at the more mundane (though still impressive) end of the work are redemption timetables and text for stock certificates, numeral panels for stocks and banknotes, titles, etc.; the figurative material is simply breathtaking, with portraits (some large-scale and suitable for framing), vignettes, pastorals, work scenes, allegorical figures, lovely ladies, etc., some even with Spanish titles engraved below; note a Republic of China banknote design, several fronts and backs for Ethiopian banknotes, Cuban stock pamphlets and cigar labels, a multicolor example of "Allegory of Progress" (used on Canada #E6, the design here reversed), and much more besides—you'll spot more than one design used or adapted for stamps here; the ledger book pages are heavily aged but the affixed proofs appear unaffected; some foxing or toning to be found, but overall a remarkably clean and fresh holding, Very Fine, a veritable feast for the eyes; a sampling available online, but viewing is highly encouraged.

1041   imageU.S., Stupendous Mostly Mint Collection, 1851-1976, A Scott National album which draws you in from the very first page, from the 1851 issue on through the Washington/Franklins and beyond. Very strong in most areas, even with some duplication for better items. Unused Columbians up to the 50¢, solid Small Bureau & 1902 issues, and some nice Ducks too. There was some wishful thinking on behalf of the collector, as some mounted as special printings are obviously not, and the two suspicious-looking bears on the Provisional page, but nevertheless plenty of other goodies to draw upon. For those of you keeping score at home, here is just a sampling of cat #'s… unused #37-38, 73, 78, 92, 113, 117, 145-48, 150-51, 156-58, 189, 208-11, 212-16, 214 (2 never hinged pairs), 219-24, 226-27, 229, 230-40, 284 (w/plate #), 285-88, 290, 294-99, 303-06, 308-09, 323-27, 328-30, 369, 573 (never hinged), 658-68, 679 (never hinged) and used 112, 119, 218, 291.

1042   imageMostly Used Classic Collection, 1847-1932, On gorgeous, gold-framed oversized album pages from 1930s Germany, a very impressive U.S. collection; and judging from so many stamps displaying a deep, rich color, it is probably safe to say that this collection hasn't seen the light of day for quite some time! Glorious Bank Notes, 1869 issue, Columbians, first & second bureau issues, the Trans-Mississippians, all with color seemingly jumping off the page. Some of the better used by number, #1, 69-71, 75-76, 96, 98, 115-17, 119-21, 240-42, 244-45, 285-92, 313, J1-7, J27, O25-34 and many more. The mint present here is either lacking gum or is stuck down on the page; this includes 230-41, 268-71, 273-74, 294-99, E3. Nevertheless, a collection to be cherished and entirely viewable online. A few damaged, but generally Fine to Very Fine, over $27,000 in Scott CV for sound stamps. Shipping charges apply - weight 3 lbs. (PDF for this Lot) (Image)
