COLLECTIONS, ACCUMULATIONS, STOCKS — Germany
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
306*oGerman 1872-1945 used collection with a focus on filling the spaces. Spaces on the pages over 98% complete. Includes strong eagles and shields, #65A, strong runs of airmails and semipostals, all the Zeppelins, and a complete run of used souvenir sheets. Very mixed condition. Did notice more than usual faults caused by tape, spurious and CTO cancels, stamps in the wrong space, etc. This renders the owner’s catalog of $40,000.00 fairly meaningless and gives just cause for a lengthy examination. A true old time “fill the space” collection with enough better than most material to justify a bid.Cat. Value: S.B. 3,500.00
Price Realized: $2,300.00

About 95% complete for the book in mainly mint (many spot checked NH) complete sets. Lots of premium especially in the immediate postwar era. Huge meaningful catalog. This collection deserves a long look and the couple dozen stamps it would take to complete it.Cat. Value: S.B. 650.00
