Several hundred mainly mint stamps late, used stamps early, with enough surprises (souvenir sheets, charities, and airmails) for a long look. No BOB.

534*oSwitzerland accumulation from the 1880s to the 1990s in two banker's boxes. Hundreds and hundreds of mixed mint and mainly used stamps having loads of duplication in remaindered albums, folder collections, and stockbooks.

A little Liechtenstein along for the ride. Enough former premium items for a long look. A bargain at the reserve.Cat. Value: S.B. 350.00
Price Realized: $400.00

Variable condition. Lots of intermediate values with little if any actual power. Enough postally used to search for cancels. Average Swiss backstock.Cat. Value: S.B. 250.00
Price Realized: $230.00
