774*oCanal Zone an interesting collection of mint and used front and BOB. Strength lies in Scotts 9 through 20 with loads of surcharge varieties and cancels identified. A fly specker’s delight and a great opportunity for an enthusist of this area.Cat. Value: S.B. 400.00

775*Hawaii an impressive mint Banknote accumulation. Mostly lower to meduim values which includes blocks, position blocks, shades, a few overprint varieties, some missing periods, etc. Condition and centering is mixed with reverse of NH, OG, hinged and the unpleasant no gum which is typical for the area. Perfect lot for the specialist whether it be a collector or dealer.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,250.00
Price Realized: $5,500.00
776*oPhilippines wonderful specialist collection on two albums of Scott Specialty pages to the 1990’s. Includes major Spanish Dominion and US Dominion sections, plus much seldom-seen BOB material and specialist varieties. We noted errors, revenues, complete Japanese occupations, airmail overprints, “O.B.” on US issues, etc. This collection will be even better when it is remounted in a new album.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,800.00
Price Realized: $1,900.00
777*oPuerto Rico extensive stock in two boxes of glassines from both the Spanish and U.S. administered periods. One box is used and carries a previous owner’s catalog value of $15,400.00. The other is mint with a previous owner’s value of $16.400.00. There is moderate to significant duplication and a wide range of conditions, but this would make a very deep stock of this area. As an example, there are mint 213 x 10 and mint 214 x 23. Frankly, we have never seen this much Puerto Rico in one lot before.Cat. Value: cat. 31,800.00
Price Realized: $3,250.00
778*Trust Territories lot stored in a stockbook. Appears to be a one-of-a-kind NH collection for Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau. A good start that would look better in a nice album.Cat. Value: face abt. 775.00
Price Realized: $290.00
