COLLECTIONS, ACCUMULATIONS, STOCKS — German states
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
323*oGerman states used collection with a focus on filling the spaces. Spaces on the pages over 98% complete. Includes better Baden, Bavaria, Brunswick, Hanover, North German Confederation, Oldenburg, Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Wurttemberg. Very mixed condition. Did notice more than usual fakes, forgeries, Falsch, dubious, spurious and CTO cancels, stamps in the wrong space, etc. along with the high catalog sets and singles. This renders the owner’s catalog of $85,000.00 fairly meaningless and gives just cause for a lengthy examination. A true old time “fill the space” collection with enough meat to justify a bid.Cat. Value: S.B. 3,500.00
Price Realized: $2,500.00
324*oGerman states mounted collection of mostly used on nine pages from four different states. Approximate order of value is Thurn and Taxis, Prussia, Brunswick then Saxony. The duplication enhances the value for shades and cancels. Also includes a few multiples. Encompasses a couple hundred items in superior condition than usual.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,300.00
Price Realized: $900.00
325*oGerman offices and colonies used collection with a focus on filling the spaces. Spaces on the pages over 95% complete. Includes many better overprints and yachts from Offices in China, Offices in Morocco, Offices in Turkey, and every one of the colonies. Mixed condition with a few CTO cancels noticed. All pages of this outstanding group with its huge catalog value are pictured up on our website, but should not preclude a lengthy examination. A true old time “fill the space” collection with premium throughout. Very seldom offered as complete as this one is.Cat. Value: S.B. 4,000.00
Price Realized: $4,000.00
