112O*A marvelous very clean mostly used 1849-2000 front and back of the book collection in three Scott Specialty albums. The 19th century is healthy minus the real scarce issues. The 20th century is well populated with the Washington-Franklin coils a little on the light side. Airmails and Back of the Book could use a little more work. The useful used #’s are 1 x2, 2, 10, 12, 14 x2, 15-16, 17, 17 horz. pair, 22-23, 28 (faulty), 29, 30A, 31, 37-38, 67-72, 75-76, 85, 85B, 86, 89, 90 x2, 91, 96-101, 112-122, 134-135, 145-155, 182-191, 217-218, 240-245, 276-278, 291-293, 312-313, 330 block of four, 369, 461, 523, 578-579, 576 plate block of six, 630 favor cancelled, C13-C15, E1-E4, J1-J7, J27-J28, K1-K2, K4, K9-K10, K13, K16 with a APS certificate stating it is genuine, K18, O25-O26, O45, O63, O65, O67, O95 PR2 with a PFC stating it is genuine.
