COLLECTIONS AND ACCUMULATIONS — Middle East
	Lot	Condition	Description	Value/Bidding
	1291		Middle East accumulation from 1930s to mid 1970 in a small box. Hundreds of mostly different, mainly mint stamps in singles, sets, and souvenir sheets. Nearly ½ are from Turkey with the rest from Afghanistan to Yemen on “104” size salecards already cataloged and organized. Excellent topical potential having UPU, UN agencies, royalty, sports etc. from this increasingly popular area. Not to be missed.	Cat. Value: S.B. 500.00 Price Realized: $280.00
	1292		Middle East collection right off the shelves of an old time collector. Includes nine albums in all. Seven are sparse or empty representing Iran (2 albums), Iraq (1), Jordan (1), Lebanon (1), Turkey (1), and Syria (1). Best of all are the one volume collections of Egypt and Kuwait (includes # 45-57 and other high value mint sets). Useful and marketable at many levels as the albums themselves are mainly like new.	Cat. Value: S.B. 450.00 Price Realized: $375.00
