Dealer's Stock of Used in 8 Red Boxes, with many thousands of stamps in 102 cards, most identified by Scott number and with a catalogue value shown, mostly minimums. Some with duplication of five or more, this stock covers scores of countries. An opportunity for collectors to hunt for postmarks and varieties in otherwise common material, the red boxes alone command a healthy retail price and would be useful to dealers after reinforcing used sales inventories. The eighth red box contains only USA (we saw a couple of Hawaii also.) Our online photos provide a good overview of the contents. Fine or better. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (All Scans)

Accumulation of Primarily Mint Stamps in Two Red Boxes, 1890s-1960s, with a few thousand stamps in roughly 1,100 dealer 102 cards, containing singles and primarily sets, with possible material on either side of the given range. We estimate roughly half the cards have been identified using current Scott numbers and catalogue values, along with retail prices provided by the owner. We note better representation from British Commonwealth countries including Australia, New Zealand, along with Switzerland, Austria, and United States just to name a few worldwide countries. The majority of cards are priced $5 and under, with some better sets retailing $20 to $60 and up. Generally unorganized, so there could be a few surprises. Online photos show an overview, overall fine to very fine. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (Scan 5) (Scan 6) (All Scans)

Dealer's Stock Featuring British Commonwealth and Selected Countries, all displayed in roughly 250 double sided Vario-style sheets inserted in clear sheet holders filling two wine boxes, with each stamp or set identified as per Scott number and retail asking price. This stock had been made accessible to customers in Tarifold displays in the retired dealer's shop. While some sheet holders are dusty, the Vario sheets and the stamps inside have all been well protected. The majority of the stock is mainly comprised of mint never hinged new issues ranging from the 1960s to the 1990s with occasional earlier and later items. The stocks includes many souvenir sheets, sheetlets and booklets. Some of the earlier material is mint hinged and we saw only a very few used items. The majority of items are priced in the range of $10 and under, with a few $15 and up. There is extensive duplication of the new issues material but generally not exceeding eight copies. Among the Commonwealth countries, we noted Great Britain, Isle of Man, Jersey, Australia, among others, along with Austria and the Soviet Union. Online photos show a representation of this lot.

Group of 44 Retired Sales Circuit Books from the Early 1970s, a valuable lot, with a good variety mint and used stamps (from early classics-on) from many countries, mostly from the Portuguese Colonies, France and French Colonies and Belgium and Belgian Colonies. The owner counted over $1,800 in selling prices (the material that remains) which are a small portion of the catalogue values (early 1970s), which in turn are a very small percentage of today's catalogue values. A very useful lot for not only collectors but also dealers. Our photos are only representative, so please plan on viewing this one in person to better appreciate the value of the contents.

Collection with Countries 'A' to 'Z', 1950s to 1970s, with a number before that period, in eight binders on quadrille pages. Some of the countries are simply hinged to the page in a group. Where the collection has more stamps from a particular country, it is presented in catalogue order with space for new acquisitions - this is the case with a number of European countries, China and Egypt, among others. We noted a few stamps in the $5 to $10 of catalogue value. This is a clean and neat collection with some better areas, such as China and French Colonies. Overall fine to very fine.

Collection in 38 Scott International Albums, Classics to 1990s, mostly used. Some highlights include, U.S.A. Scott # 239 (used, $90), Australia 144 (mint, $52), Great Britain 86 (used, $92), 98 (used, $185), 99 (used, $52), 100 (used, $92), 102 (used, $115), 120 (used, $56), 136 (used, $75), 139 (used, $150), 140 (used, $220), 180 (used, $145), Hong Kong 178-79 (mint, $225), Iceland 17 (used, $50), Monaco 6 (used, $75) and Norway 17b (used, $75). We also noted many singles and sets in the $10 to $35 of catalogue value. This very large collection is fuller through the early period for most countries with the pages sometimes out of order. This is not a comprehensive collection in terms of having pages for all the countries in period, while a number of countries have duplicated pages, with these often rather full of potential shades and other varieties for study, etc. The majority of the pages have the owner's pencilled-in catalogue values with totals at the bottom of the pages, with many of the pages totaling between $20 and $80. The albums show some wear, however the collection within is clean. The condition of the stamps is a little mixed among the classics, otherwise the group is overall fine to very fine. Our photos provide a mere glimpse at the contents, best seen in person to appreciate.
