Collection of Mint and Used Newfoundland Blocks and Multiples, all displayed on 57 quadrille pages, starting in the 1890s and well represented until the end, with some duplication as well as some varieties, such as "fish hook", "watermarked next to unwatermarked", many Scott 87 with "NFW" (counted) and "JAMRS" (not counted), several shades, etc. The great majority are presented in blocks of four, with several being larger, several with sheet margins, and near the end turns into mostly corner blocks. Includes some complete sets, as well as a basic set of postage dues as well. We counted 270 mint blocks (with a Scott value of just over $17,200) plus another 162 used blocks. Catalogue value for the mint was for hinged or never hinged, with most blocks having two and two, and where it is not the case there is a small pencil note. Two early blocks (Scott 28 and 41) were not counted because of small toning spots, as well as 5 or 6 other blocks that had no gum (mostly Scott 82). Overall fine to very fine, and we note that the hinges used are of good quality, many times leaving only a little trace. Photos only show a portion of the collection.
