| 1010 |   | Germany and area collection in three homemade volumes. The Empire and Reich are mainly used with little power. The early mint post WWII is where the value is at with over 60% of them were found to be NH. Includes a posthorn set, Red and black Berlin overprints, all the bells, the bear singles, UPU, and all the early semipostal sets. Condition is quite outstanding with surprises almost on every page. A good look will suit you well. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,600.00
Price Realized: $900.00 |
| 1011 | | Germany and area accumulation found in three circa 1959 European approval books purchased in their entirety and put away for later. German colonies are the focus with Kiauchau, offices in China and Morocco, Marianna Is., Caroline Is., and South West Africa being especially strong. Watermarking glitches could be a problem on some of the higher value yachts. Condition is better than usually seen with faults only on the backsides of the stamps. Fun lot to breakdown. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,300.00
Price Realized: $3,250.00 |
| 1012 | | Germany and area mainly mint collection filling two large cartons. DDR is best in a two volume Scott Specialty albums virtually complete mint from 1949-1990. Also strong are the Germany proper albums again virtually complete 1949-2007. Strength in the many mint complete sets a few of which when checked were NH. Also includes Berlin, Danzig, Saar, Empire, states, occupations and colonies all to a much smaller extent in remaindered albums, stockbooks, counterbooks, etc. Plenty to work with and interesting to work backwards toward completion. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,300.00
Price Realized: $1,800.00 |
| 1013 | | Germany and area collections/accumulations in five binders. Covers states through DDR till around 1980. Mainly intermediate collections with an occasional surprise. Best in early post WWII Federal Republic with Berlin of the same time period close behind. Three of the albums are on Scott Specialized pages slightly remaindered with lots of loose stamps in the margins causing storage problems. Will take some work to transform into stock. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,200.00
Price Realized: $1,800.00 |
| 1014 | | Germany and area collection of mainly used stamps in two Scott Specialty albums. Lots of power with problems. Many pages in the albums have stamps mounted with “miracle tape” that promised never to fail. The adhesive’s oils have migrated to the backs of the stamps causing irreparable staining that will only increase in damage over time. Some are conventionally hinged and are salvageable. The Berlin bunch, the airmail section, and a used Ostropa sheet seem to have escaped unharmed, but this lot with its huge apparent catalog value are offered, intact “as is”, to our most intrepid stamp reclamation experts. | Cat. Value: S.B. 1,000.00
Price Realized: $1,200.00 |
| 1015 |  | Germany and area accumulation of old auction lots (33) found in an area estate. Huge catalog in better than usually seen condition. Purchased during the time when prices for this area were higher allows the buyer now a good bargain. Strongest in early postwar Berlin and German offices and colonies (especially Kiauchau). Powerful compact lot sure to fill holes in multiple collections. | Cat. Value: S.B. 950.00
Price Realized: $700.00 |
| 1016 | | Germany and area basic mint collection from states through Berlin 1849-1973. Strong throughout with many NH found while spot checking (around 35%). Saar is strongest with solid semipostals and airmails. An intermediate Soviet Zone and DDR collection to 1970 along with General Government and a smattering of colonies add to the value. A long look will prove fruitful. | Cat. Value: S.B. 900.00
Price Realized: $1,150.00 |
| 1017 | | Germany and areas cancel collection of about 400 mostly mounted on attractive homemade pages. Includes a few better values in the States, Empire and colonies but real emphasis of the collection was to only keep clear readable cancels. Among these are many smaller towns, railroad, ship and unusual types along with forerunners in the colonies. Needs further study. | Cat. Value: S.B. 850.00
Price Realized: $650.00 |

Hundreds of mint and used stamps from the early to the late 20th century mostly different in singles, partial, broken full sets having values mostly from $1.00 to $20.00 with potential surprises.

Value: S.B. 800.00
Price Realized: $475.00 |
| 1019 | | Germany and area collection in three Scott Specialty albums. Includes Germany 1872-2007, Berlin, and offices and colonies. At one time, was an advanced collection, but now has been remaindered of most of its power. Still has an amazingly high catalog value with used stamps predominate. Hundreds of stamps with good CDS on the modern used. An occasional surprise especially in the used post WWII. Great beginner from which to pursue an advanced collection. | Cat. Value: S.B. 750.00
