COLLECTIONS & ACCUMULATIONS — Germany and Areas
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
1100*oCVGermany and areas a massive accumulation from a man on the left coast that kept building major collections one after another. Each one (there are at least six) is more advanced than most people’s single collection. Includes a six volume Scott Specialty, another five volume Scott Specialty, a four volume Lighthouse, two fat Minkus, a four volume homemade collection, numerous stockbooks and sorting boxes plus more all filling five cartons. The collections are one of a kind all mint or all used or both. There is valuable duplication when mashed together. Just to scratch the surface we noticed numerous posthorn sets, zeppelin sets, souvenir sheets, top end semipostals, Berlin overprint sets, huge catalog value in states, impressive plebiscites, a notopfer exhibit, great array of the shield issues, etc. It’s powerful from the states through the 3rd Reich to the Bundesrepublic and encompasses all the areas plus substantial postal history. Plan on spending time figuring this one.Cat. Value: S.B. 28,000.00
Price Realized: $20,000.00
1101*oGermany and areas in eleven stockbooks with NH, OG and used arranged side by side. The material goes into the 1970’s. Spotted good empire, Third Reich, strong semipostals, DDR and much more. Huge catalog value and will enhance a German collection or a dealer stock.Cat. Value: S.B. 3,000.00
Price Realized: $2,600.00
1102*oGermany and areas collection to about 1990 in five well-used Scott Specialty albums. Bundespost, DDR, Berlin, states and occupations are all similarly fairly complete mint and/or used and sometimes NH, with some of the better issues present, but also with a few condition problems. As a bonus there is a second DDR album not as full as the first. A lot of familiar stamps to work with.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,900.00
Price Realized: $1,300.00

1104*oGermany and areas accumulation of many thousands of mint and used stamps housed in six assorted stockbooks and two hingeless albums. Includes stocks or groups of states, colonies, Germany to 1949, zusammendrucks, locals, Memel, Danzig, Saar, early DDR and even Russia from 1935 to 1958.

1106*oGermany and areas solid collection hinged in three Scott albums. One volume is for Germany proper with some good semis and five mint or used zeppelins among other interesting. Also a volume for DDR with little of consequence noted. The best, however, is a volume of the ‘areas’ that consists of German states in better than usual condition, colonies with moderate value Kaiser yachts, plebiscites, occupations and more. We spotted a mint Saar C12 among many others. There are hundreds of stamps awaiting placement in your collection or on salescards so you should give it a good review.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,100.00

A worthy candidate for continuation.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,050.00
Price Realized: $750.00
