COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS BY COUNTRY — Germany and areas
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
1191*oGermany and area comprehensive collection on homemade pages into the early 1980’s. Strongest in items from 1946-1956 where the former owner was a big buyer from new issue sources. Cursory examination of the clear mounts indicates many mint NH are to be discovered. Some mint hinged and disturbed gum were seen. Used highlights include Germany #B33, B68, C43-C45, and a C44 flown cover. Mint highlights include 9NB3a, Soviet Zone overprint varieties (double and inverted), a Goethe sheet, DDR Mao set OG, Saar C12, B61-B64a, CB1a and so on. Examination is a must. Sprinkled throughout the lot are many used zusammendrucke especially extensive in the Hindenburg’s. Tough to describe all the goodies.Cat. Value: S.B. 7,000.00
Price Realized: $4,750.00
1192*oCVGermany and area collection/accumulation in nine diverse sometimes disheveled stockbooks. The best book has Scott B33, B58, B68, 9NB3a, dubious Croatia B76, etc. Then come states, colonies and occupations, most with covers, then airmails plus early DDR often mint NH. Anything from recurring familiar stamps to better or interesting items may appear while turning the stockpages and album pages. Time spent working on them will be well rewarded.Cat. Value: S.B. 3,250.00
Price Realized: $5,500.00
1193*oGermany and area collection in five Scott Specialized albums. Begins with a few States (Thurn and Taxis strongest) and progresses up to 2000. The emphasis is on mint sets with many high ticket items present. Nice earlies (eagles/shields) in mixed condition are seen. Many $50.00+ catalog sets and souvenir sheets are present. Noticed Germany B48-B57 mint and 10NB11 for example. Also included is an almost complete DDR mint collection with souvenir sheets and Mao set. Zusammendrucke items and booklet panes are featured throughout. A nice, clean, pleasant collector made collection ready for your viewing pleasure.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,800.00
Price Realized: $1,900.00
1194*oGermany and area collection/accumulation in several Scott Specialty albums with an emphasis on mint sets. Not much modern, but plenty of useful patches from 1900-1955. Highlights include good colonies (Kiauchau #33-42, SWA 26-34, New Guinea 1-6, 7-19, 20-23), Representative Empire (45-51,52-61, B49-B57), plus a mint set of posthorns and many more premium mint sets. Perfect for adding to your Germany stock or integrating into an advanced collection. Give this one a shot.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,500.00
Price Realized: $2,400.00
1195*oGermany and areas accumulation trying to be a collection filling a large carton. Highlights include a two volume Lindner Third Reich collection, some better mint which includes 399b, B15-B18, C44-C45 and C46-C56 plus some zusammendrucke. Also includes two Scott Specialty albums that have little or no traditional organization so you will not be able to predict what will appear next when you turn a page. Good states along with better sets and singles from all eras were seen. One of the oddest valuable Germany collections we have seen in a long time.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,900.00
Price Realized: $2,700.00
1196*oGermany and area accumulation that was stripped from an old time collection. Securely encapsulated in PM mounts, all have been evaluated by the consignor as “mint NH” and cataloged as such. Often this is NOT the case as these mounts hide back faults, hinge marks and the like. Overall hundreds of useful stamps are found, many still in complete sets. Includes high ticket Saar, Berlin and DDR. Needs close examination as to condition and salvage ability to come up with the right number.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,700.00
Price Realized: $900.00
1197*oGermany and areas collection/accumulation on homemade pages, on salespages, in glassines, etc. Includes a respectable collection covering all eras and areas, whether NH, OG, and/or used, with various setenants, booklets, FDC’s, etc. While we noted few of the popular better items, your persistent viewing could uncover more.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,600.00
Price Realized: $1,150.00
1198*oGermany and areas small holding with the best part being a somewhat remaindered Germany proper collection to 1991 and a better than average accumulation of Bavaria. Mixed condition especially in the early Bavaria and Empire. The album has seen better days with some pages (mostly the souvenir sheets and expensive issue pages) being removed long ago. Still plenty of pickings remain for the knowledgeable viewer.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,300.00
Price Realized: $1,300.00
1199*oGermany and areas collection in a nice, clean Scott Specialized album. Mixed mint and used in variable but better than average condition. Strong coverage throughout. Bavaria, Danzig and Württemberg are especially nice. The Kaiser’s yachts are well represented, although not in complete sets. Plenty of value within. Good chance to get a nice collection that can be easily continued or broken down into a good singles stock.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,250.00
Price Realized: $1,400.00
1200*oGermany and areas remainder collection as found on Scott pages loose in a small box. Noticed a few decent DDR souvenir sheets some with event cancels, Germany B69-B78, and 9N61-9N63 with a quick look. Bound to be other finds in here. This box lot needs careful examination to come up with the right bid.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,150.00
Price Realized: $800.00
1201*oGermany and area collection on Minkus pages in two Global binders. Begins with a representative section of German states progressing up to 1990’s reunification. The emphasis is on used and CTO sets with many of the highest ticket items missing. Includes thousands of stamps neatly mounted. The DDR is almost complete. There are nice runs of occupations, Germany (Empire and Bundes) plus semipostals. A shelf ready collection with completion not out of the question. Take a look you might be pleasantly surprised.Cat. Value: S.B. 750.00
Price Realized: $800.00
1202*oGermany and areas collection to 1990 in four new style Scott Specialty albums (three ring). Appears sparse at first glance but much value is included. Highlights include all three Berlin bell sets mint, a good run of Federal Republic with a few postwar sets and a useful section of Bavaria. The albums are in useable condition with the slipcases making them worthy of continuation.Cat. Value: 2008 cat. 5,500.00
Price Realized: $850.00
1203*oCVGermany and areas accumulation in three 3 ring binders of mainly covers from all eras. Strongest in Third Reich covers and cards. Noticed a binder of propaganda cigarette cards and POW covers. Useful accumulation of this infamous time period.Cat. Value: S.B. 600.00
Price Realized: $550.00
1204*oGermany and area aggregation in a large carton. Although there are several remaindered hingeless albums and stockbooks, the best item is a mint set of B316-B317 hidden in a tiny stockbook. Around ten individual lots for the small bourse dealer.Cat. Value: S.B. 200.00
Price Realized: $270.00
