1202**oSwitzerland stock in five medium counterbooks. Value is in multiple copies of many medium range mint NH sets from the 1940s to 1970s.

Price Realized: $1,350.00
1203*oCVSwitzerland accumulation/collection in three large cartons. Begins with a collection of singles mixed mint and used in variable condition to 1992 missing only the most powerful to be complete. Includes just a few used classics and mint 98-100, 226, 263a, 293-305, B2a, B105, B143, C1 with a cert etc. Almost all the mint are face pleasing examples with a litany of back faults. Very few of the offices present. Next is a run of postal stationery from the same time period (some private) along with FDC’s from around 1958-1990 (selected issues only), and various cut squares, slogan cancels and covers. Every binder is in need of reorganization and albums that compliment an advanced collection like this. Plenty of value for the non discriminating collector.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,250.00
Price Realized: $1,800.00
1204*oCVSwitzerland accumulation of material related to Swiss military stamps. Highlighted by an accumulation of over 800 different stamps, a small binder of cut squares with military cancels, and a binder of around 125 covers franked with the military stamps. Seldom seen especially in this quantity. Would be a good beginning to a collection or stock in this area.Cat. Value: S.B. 800.00
Price Realized: $650.00
1205*oSwitzerland mixed mint and used collection nicely hinged on clean Scott Specialty pages to 1964. Additional early issues identified on stockpages add substantially to the value of a collection that would be fun to continue.Cat. Value: S.B. 700.00
Price Realized: $800.00
1206*oSwitzerland collection in a clean Davo volume I album to 1943. Most of the extensive catalog is included in a few high catalog classics of dubious origin and poor condition. Examination is a must for a collection of this type but has the potential of being a good value.Cat. Value: Owner’s cat. 9,045.00
Price Realized: $600.00
1207*oSwitzerland collection of many hundred mostly used to the 2000’s on blank pages. Includes helpful 19th century, good semipostals, and a few of the better souvenir sheets. Stamps are sometimes firmly hinged, but more often are firmly attached hinge like by “removable” self adhesive tape, so offered at a small percentage of catalog value. Good luck.Cat. Value: cat. 6,000.00
Price Realized: $400.00
1208*oSwitzerland collection in three expensive Lindner “T” hingeless albums 1975-1999. Features an excellent variety of issues mostly mint, mainly in sets and including minisheets, booklets, framas and more. High face value and nice clean albums make this one a bargain.Cat. Value: S.B. 350.00
