Scandinavia, Exceptional Specialized Country Collections with Outstanding Sections of Cancellations, 1851-2016. Norway, Sweden and Denmark are here with both regular issues loaded with better singles and sets, mint and used as well as specialized sections of many hundreds of cancellation varieties that any collector or dealer will find of interest. The scans only exhibit a small part of the specialized material. The Norway begins with a used Scott 1 and is a very solid Country collection in a Scott album packed with mint & used and from about 1926 to 2016 it is mainly mint with much N.H. in the later years. The Scott value is very significant on this collection, Sweden runs from 1855-1924 mounted on quadrille pages in a binder and loaded with hundreds of specialized cancels as well as the regular issues. Denmark is outstanding from 1851-1955 all again mounted on quadrille pages both mint and used with some N.H. in the earlier years of the collection section, however the extraordinary part is the many hundreds of specialized cancels that this advanced collector gathered over decades of collecting. Again, viewing in-person will be well worth the effort. Condition is mainly Fine-Very Fine with a few faults. Shipping charges apply - weight 11 lbs. (PDF for this Lot) (Image)
