Lot Description

1300

Notable old-time used worldwide collection, 1850s–1915, in 110-year-old Stanley Gibbons "Ideal" album, comprising exclusively pre-WWI material with strong representation from several countries, including German States (noting Bavaria #14, c.v. $140; Hanover #18, c.v. $200), Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Dutch Indies, and Finland (#2, c.v. $325; #69, c.v. $260); France is particularly appealing with #64 mint 1c Sage (c.v. $125), #37 5f (thinned), and a broad selection of Napoleon to Sage issues; Norway includes #1 (c.v. $165), #2 (c.v. $150), #6 (c.v. $250), #7 (c.v. $300), and #10 (c.v. $125); other notable areas include Italy and Italian States (Tuscany #4, c.v. $145), Indo-China, Iran (#238, c.v. $100), Russia, and United States. Nearly all stamps are used, with a few mint scattered throughout, condition is mixed as expected with faults present, and while the album itself shows age—some pages removed or damaged—the overall content offers numerous better space-fillers and scarce early issues; a worthwhile lot for the dedicated collector or student of early worldwide philately.
