POSTAL HISTORY: Carton of family correspondence mostly from the 1930s with quantities of internal mail, many others to and from America, unfortunately stamps have been removed from many of the covers, also hundreds of mostly domestic Postal Cards including a few military types, etc, plenty of potential for studying the cards & the postmarks, also about 200 mostly unused PPCs including rickety aircraft, a lovely Coalmine group, Japanese artist types, etc, and some ephemera, condition rather mixed so personal inspection is recommended. Never before on the market and offered intact.
