773CVIreland related covers, several hundred early to modern from a larger consignment including both to and from Ireland, and within the US with Irish subject matter. Specialist items often retain the dealer description and price, and the auxiliary markings, political labels, etc. make for interesting reading. We noted illegal Sinn Fein stamp usages and other partisan efforts as shown in some of the scans. An accumulation worthy of further study.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,500.00
Price Realized: $3,750.00
774CVIreland maybe 500 early to modern usages on cover, plus consignment balance. Includes IRA censored, early overprints, flights, events, political, disaster, labels, and other topics, plus items from elsewhere that struck the consignor’s fancy. For example, we saw an April 1970, Germany Lenin postal forgery on cover. Along with everything Ireland, browsing through odds and ends this collector picked up should uncover some pleasant surprises.Cat. Value: S.B. 700.00
Price Realized: $1,900.00
