1949 U.P.U.

Virtually Complete Never Hinged 1949 U.P.U. Set, virtually complete with 311 stamps, with only two stamps missing from Southern Rhodesia. The common designs were all collected for the upper left sheet margin copy, making this a very difficult collection to duplicate. A spot check indicated mint never hinged stamps (closer inspection could yield different results). Online scans shows a representation of the lot. A perfect addition for the collector, or dealer looking for stock. Overall, very fine. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (Scan 5) (Scan 6) (All Scans)

Set of Two Different Stamp Affixing Machines, one is "Commercial Controls Corporation / Rochester N.Y." (very fine) and the other, older one is "Multipost No. T / Patented / AUG 8 and DEC19, 1911, etc. Multipost Corp. Rochester, N.Y." appears to be functional but has one broken part that we can see. These were used early in the life of coil stamps to moisten, cut, and affix coil stamps to envelopes or mail. The lot includes a large cover which the owner claims has three Canadian Admiral issue coil stamps affixed by a Multipost machine, mailed at Toronto (from an Insurance company) in 1916.
