COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS — Austria
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
882*oAustria revenue hoard displayed as a collection in four binders, a stockbook, and on display pages in a small carton. Includes over 2,400 stamps from the 1870 issues up through 1965. The earlies are especially strong with 1870 (1/2K - 20fl), 1875 (1/2K – 20fl), and an apparently complete run of 1879’s (1/2 K – 20 gulden). Any apparent duplication is for fly specks and perforation varieties. One of the most extensive collections of early Austrian revenues we have seen in a very long time.Cat. Value: S.B. 950.00
Price Realized: $700.00
883*oAustria mainly mint collection with the early issues to 1945 mounted in a homemade scrapbook and two Lindner hingeless albums (1945-1979). Highlights include mint 78-85, 88a-105a, 405-427, and C46. Would benefit from reorganization into a better album for continuation or easily mined for its individual sets.Cat. Value: S.B. 700.00
Price Realized: $425.00
884*oAustria collection on nearly full Scott International pages to 1986, starting with mostly used and ending with mostly mint. Also includes similarly filled pages for Bosnia and Herzegovina. This collection could be expanded if remounted, particularly on pages up to the mid 20th century.Cat. Value: cat. 2,495.00
Price Realized: $260.00
885*oAustria and Bosnia collection/accumulation on Scott pages 1850 to 1955, a couple of stockpages, and a small bag of glassines in a small pizza size box. Much of the value is found in the useful classics often in duplication. Over 95% complete for the period with varieties indicated. Missing only the best stamps for completion. Condition is better than usually found for these but does include some dubious newspaper and Austrian offices. A strong old time group of this popular area.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,500.00
Price Realized: $3,000.00
886*oAustria and areas collection to 2001 in a clean fully packed Minkus album. Begins with used classics and then picks up steam and becomes mainly mint complete sets around 1960. Many highlights including mint 378-379, B265-B267, etc. and used 127, 142-144, B106-B109, C2-C3. Also includes Bosnia and Herzegovina plus Austrian offices that only add to the significance. Enough value to consider transfer into an appropriate album or market as a stand alone collection.Cat. Value: S.B. 950.00
Price Realized: $650.00
