1801

Mint and Used Collection, 1872 to 2004, in four Davo albums. This is something of a dual collection, often with a used example in the mount under the mint version of the same stamp. This collection includes #s 6 (used c.v. $85), 8 (used c.v. $165), 10 with a nicely centered postmark (used c.v. $85), 28 (mint c.v. $82), 76 (used c.v. $97), B104 (mint c.v. $75) along with many complete sets, such as C27-34 (used c.v. $129), C35-37 (used c.v. $118), C35-37 (mint c.v. 92), C46-56 (used c.v. $76). We estimate this collection to be 70% complete by catalogue illustration. There are also hundreds of additional stamps in 102 cards, hinged one on top of the other and placed in the mounts. We also noted many extras, such as se-tenants, sheet margin items, tête-bêche material and more. Overall fine to very fine.
