Thousands and thousands of different mint and used birds on stamps attractively mounted in 12 feathery albums on homemade pages. Basically in alphabetical order according to family. Extensively inventoried (on 113 pages single spaced). Beautiful example of how extensive a topical collection can become. Instant specialty with the work already done.Cat.

910***Archeology on Stamps, Costumes on Stamps, and Handicrafts on Stamps, with thousands of stamps and souvenir sheets mounted on custom pages or in 18 slim stockbooks that fill two cartons. China is particularly well represented throughout. Exhibit-type pages are artistically divided into sub-topics which have become intermingled during handling, while the stockbook material defies organization and may be duplicates or additional stamps to be mounted. An individualized labor of love needing much attention to find new homes for the mountain of material. And don’t miss the bonus binder of worldwide Marilyn Monroe on Mystic pages.Cat.
