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.

113O*A well intended 1847-2015 mint and used collection in seven binders. Most of the material in the front of the book is used and when it is mint the majority is no gum.

114OCVAn old time collection accumulation of a few hundred fancy cancels. Starts with #11 through the Banknotes and into the early 20th century with a decent variety of issues and examples.

115O*An impressive old time mint and used 19th and 20th century front of the book, B.O.B. and Hawaii accumulation in seven stock books. Put together decades ago when collectors could find big stashes of material and spend countless hours identifying and sorting into binders and stock pages. The group includes singles and plate blocks. Our guess at the catalog to be well over $45,000. Condition is all over the board with many average to fine copies. Countless possibilities for marketing material for a long time.Cat. Value: S.B. 2700
