Face estimated at around $2,500.00 is probably in need of a introspective count. Little if any power 1840-1920 in both collections. Just a hint of cigarette smell still lingers after all these years. Will be loads of fun to break down and add to any good 1840-1940 collection to bring it closer to contemporary times.Cat. Value: S.B. 1250.00

Includes a used #2 then not much value until the Banknotes where a few 90¢ values pop in. The early commemoratives go up to the medium values. Hardy Washington-Franklins, however they are mostly used. Respectable White Plains sheet and Kansas-Nebraska sets exist. In the airmails you will find mint C1-C6, and a C18. Spotty in the B.O.B. arena, yet there is a mixed mint and used Q group. Condition is extremely mixed and some no gum mint in areas you would not expect. Still enough solid value to warrant serious consideration.Cat. Value: S.B. 950.00
Price Realized: $1,600.00
141O*CVExtensive and massive US and UN collection filling four heavy cartons. Parallel mint and used US group with mint C1-C6, Prexie set, and C18 as highlights. All the earlies are used and when everything is counted a gigantic Cat. value is achieved. But most of the value is in the mint face types 1980-1998 which need a complete count because when done earlier contained the mostly unusable face of the prolific plate strips from the fractional decimal issues in several volumes. The UN is in one clean Scott Specialty Album from #1 through 1994 with a #38 souvenir sheet. Piles of albums filled with stamps to rediscover.Cat. Value: S.B. 900.00
Price Realized: $1,500.00

Plenty of images for your perusal.Cat. Value: S.B. 750.00
Price Realized: $1,200.00

Price Realized: $900.00
144O*An overgrown mint and used collection/accumulation. Includes a lightly population pre 1940’s assembly of both front and back of the book made up mainly of lower and a occasional medium scattered about. Most of the value lays in the postage that runs up to the “Forever” values. We even spotted a few high values while sloshing through the mass. Duplication abounds with solid value to count. Many hours of philatelic fun presenting itself in a meaningful way. Shipping weight is 72 lbs. Call or email for a rate quote.Cat. Value: Cat. 650.00

Also includes mint airmails and a light dispersion of mint and used BOB. The second assembly is a parallel mostly used starting with a #1. The remainder of this collection is a hit or miss of later 19th and early 20th century. Well presented Washington-Franklins and a decent selection of Revenues. Condition is mixed with many very presentable items. Blending these two components into a new album is just what the doctor ordered.Cat. Value: S.B. 600.00
Price Realized: $1,050.00
147O*An interesting mint and used pair and line pair collection. While the flat plate subjects are viewed with suspicion there are a few with certificates like 390 line pair, 391-392 pairs, 412 line pair, 458 pair. The group also includes the more modern varieties such as perf hole sizes, gum and tagging differences. Condition is mixed. Good lot for the specialist.Cat. Value: S.B. 600.00
Price Realized: $450.00

Price Realized: $750.00
149O*A malodorous three volume 1851 to 1992 mint and used collection. Mostly lower to medium values with an occasional surprise to be plucked.
