1116*Austria a very clean stock put up on over three hundred fifty Ò104Ó size salescards. Starts in the mid 1930Õs and runs to 1990 but mostly early 1950Õs on. Notables include mint OG B112-B117, B260-B263, B264-B267, B269-B271 (plus an extra NH) and B273-B276. Except for whatÕs noted, all are NH. Duplication is low.Cat. Value: cat. 2,750.00
Price Realized: $550.00
1117*oAustria large stockbook stuffed with mostly used stamps from the first issue to 1971. Contains a broad variety of singles and sets, some in considerable depth. Also a second stockbook contains about a third Austria and the rest rather random worldwide mint and used material. Needs to be viewed to be evaluated.Cat. Value: S.B. 450.00
Price Realized: $425.00
1118*oAustria and Offices a somewhat disheveled but interesting, specialized accumulation of the 1850Õs through 1880Õs issues of Austria and offices in Turkey and Lomb/Ven. The emphasis appears mainly centered on the cancellations with many interesting and better red, blue, box, straightline, thimble, used in other areas, etc. throughout. Also of interest are the possibilities for valuable, shade, perf, paper, etc. varieties. The catalog total is due to be high as there are dozens if not hundreds of the 25 kr and 50 kr Franz Josephs plus stockpages full of Lomb/Ven 30 cents and 40 cents arms issues sorted by type. Plan on spending time on this one.Cat. Value: S.B. 6,000.00
Price Realized: $6,000.00
1119*oAustria and Areas essentially complete collection of Austria, offices, occupations and Bosnia. Lacks the Dolfus, Wipa sheet. Light in the newspapers, early occupations with a few more empty spaces and then scattered missing items elsewhere. Mostly used until the Republic then mainly mint to about 1970. Many times there are extras used duplicated with the mint in this later part or just extras early. The Bosnia also has extras for imperfs and many crazy perf combos. A wonderful collection worth pursuing.Cat. Value: S.B. 5,500.00
Price Realized: $4,750.00
