| 732 | FDC | Mounted collection of 138 first day covers between 551 and 703, along with BOB from this period. Many better definitive issues are present with DC cancels, along with commemoratives to a lesser degree including #583a, and 658-679. However, many have been slightly reduced or carefully opened at left. Includes a few printed cachets, a few early usages, a handful of better duplicates and an occasional fault. A fresh and valuable grouping of these covers. | Cat. Value: S.B. 2,400.00
Price Realized: $6,000.00 |
| 733 |  | Box of over 400 diverse covers in sleeves with detailed write-ups. Ranging primarily from 1851-1857 issues through WWII, varieties, PO markings and interesting details are presented for each cover or card. We noted APO’s, first flights, stamp dealer corner cards, advertising, Prexy usages, W-F coil usages, collector frankings to overseas, overseas fans to movie stars, etc. The list of areas of interest to collectors goes on and on, and this box is ready to put out on your table at a discount. Dealer’s retail 10,500.00. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,900.00
Price Realized: $1,700.00 |
| 734 | | Specialized accumulation of over five hundred covers with a focus on the 1851 and 1857 three cent values. Great hunting for cancels, plate flaws etc. It seems as if the previous owner has already started the process with several “finds” annotated. Great lot for the specialist or would be exhibitor. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,000.00
Price Realized: $1,050.00 |
| 735 | | Alaska postmarks on around 400 mounted commercial and philatelic covers, PPCs, and postal cards. Organized roughly in chronological order from the late 1800’s to the early 2000’s, most are annotated with substantial historical information, DPO status, population, etc. We noted a Howcan manuscript, and HCs from Dolomi, Kemperville, Udakta, and Washburn, among the more unusual locales. Also includes 1930’s and 1940’s cachets, corner cards, ship cancels, etc. A particularly nice example of this popular specialty. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,000.00
Price Realized: $850.00 |
| 736 | | Collection of maybe 1,600-1,700 naval covers from the 1930’s to the 1970’s. Generally with cachets for major or minor events, they are often identified in glassines by hull number or type of ship. While there are many covers from some ships, there appears to be little duplication, which would be confirmed by interfiling these three shoeboxes of covers as you begin to enhance your stock or collection. | Cat. Value: S.B. 900.00
Price Realized: $650.00 |
| 737 | | Covers and cards from various turn of the century fairs and events. Stored in four small Lighthouse albums. The collection has items from the Columbian Exhibition, St. Louis World’s Fair, Pan American Exposition, Jamestown Exposition and others. Over 220 items in all. Many official souvenir cards, and covers using the stamps. Could be the beginnings of a mixed card/cover exhibit or fit right into a postal history dealer’s stock. | Cat. Value: S.B. 800.00
Price Realized: $800.00 |
| 738 | | File box of around 300 sleeved, priced and often annotated 20th century covers of all types. Space is the most common category, with patriotics, town cancels, Constitution and navals, cacheted events and first days, etc. throughout. With an almost $15.00 average retail, and with very few duplicates or foreign, these covers will easily slip behind dividers in your stock. Retail 4,380.00. | Cat. Value: S.B. 700.00
Price Realized: $475.00 |
| 739 | | Registered covers from 1880 through about 1920 in a small Lighthouse binder. This group of over sixty covers seems to be put together to show usages of different stamps to pay the registration fee. Noticed F1, E7, Q6 and Columbians all used in this way. This is a good start toward a specialized study in this complex area. | Cat. Value: S.B. 650.00
Price Realized: $700.00 |
| 740 | FDC | One man’s lifetime collection of hundreds of first day covers spanning 1932 to 2008 housed in Fleetwood binders in ten cartons. 1940 to 2008 are all Fleetwood cacheted while the earlier issues are a mixture of many other artists. Good showing of Parks, Farleys, Prexies and others of that era. Condition is a little mixed in the earlies while the later are very clean. Worthwhile assembly. | Cat. Value: S.B. 650.00
Price Realized: $1,500.00 |
| 741 | | Civil War era covers in a small Lighthouse binder. Starts with around thirty Civil War patriotics, some in poor condition. Also included are groups of ancillary material such as Lincoln and John Brown cards, Confederate covers, Confederate currency and even a few fractional currency notes. Condition and authenticity need to be taken into consideration to come up with the correct bid. | Cat. Value: S. B. 600.00
Price Realized: $1,000.00 |
| 742 | | Around 10,000 covers in six large cartons. Two full boxes are First Days (1940-1990) both addressed and unaddressed. Noticed some better than average cachets with a quick look. The other four boxes are completely unsorted and look to be the dollar table types, but there is no way to know what is in here without a lengthy search. Have fun. | Cat. Value: S.B. 600.00
Price Realized: $600.00 |
| 743 | | Balance of the estate lot containing the better covers. While repacking we noticed half a dozen Blood’s locals, plenty of earlies - some with observable grills, stampless Illinois, advertizing and even some presidential autographs (Nixon, Bush, astronauts etc.) all on cover. Mixed condition and the autographs are “as is”. Still a very desirable lot offered at a small fraction of its value. Take a look you will not be disappointed. | Cat. Value: S.B. 500.00
Price Realized: $2,600.00 |
| 744 | FDC | Accumulation of around 4,000 mostly 1930’s and 1940’s first day covers arranged in five boxes. Includes 15 assorted cover albums and rows of covers with some more recent first days, some flights, events, and patriotics, and some postcards and postal cards. We stumbled on some better stamp or cachet nuggets, and you will too when you take a look. | Cat. Value: S.B. 500.00
Price Realized: $1,000.00 |
| 745 | | Indiana postal history collection from stampless through Civil War patriotics to nice early 1900’s advertising covers filling four cover albums.

Price Realized: $1,600.00 |
| 746 | | Diverse collection of a couple hundred mounted and identified covers, postal cards and picture postcards. Arranged by collectible topic, they often are annotated with interesting facets of the card or cover. Topics include, but are not limited to, Civil War, Territorial, WWI, Zeppelin and other flights, South Pacific APOs, U.S. Possessions, Christmas Seals and Desert Storm. Deliberate viewing should uncover other topics of interest to you. | Cat. Value: S.B. 450.00
Price Realized: $1,150.00 |
| 747 | | Tray of almost 400 sleeved and priced Ohio covers, postal cards and picture postcards, organized by county. Typically from the early 19th century, with some earlier and later, we noted a range of cancels, subjects, and DPOs. When you thumb through these, keep going until you get to the short stack of Alaska covers. | Cat. Value: S.B. 250.00
Price Realized: $210.00 |
| 748 | | An eclectic cover/card holding with a few thousannd items. Includes 1,200 commom FDC, 150 FD proof cards, 700 flight covers, bicentennnial collection and Bureau souvenir CD collection. Better dig deep to figure this one out. | Cat. Value: S.B. 375.00

Price Realized: $425.00 |
| 751 | | An accumulation of many hundred covers. Includes Flight, Naval (several with Mermaids), FDC’s (spotted a $5.00 Hamilton), event, etc. Along for the trip are a few hundred souvenir cards. Going through this mix will be enjoyable for the cover person. | Cat. Value: S.B. 325.00
