Scandinavia. Classic-heavy Nordic mounted collection of around 3000 mint and used stamps, with interesting additions such as cancels, varieties and even a few covers here and there. Includes Greenland (125 stamps), Finland (750 stamps) starting in 1875, with perforation and shades to keep you busy, plus some "back of the book" and Iceland (250 stamps) including various printings and overprints. There is a good offering of Norway (750 stamps) and Sweden (1130 stamps), with the Swedish material including a shade study of Oscar II issues (owner’s catalogue $600.00) and a dizzying group of town cancels. Overall, the appearance of the stamps is excellent, but expect some faults here and there. The collection thins out in the 1970’s and there isn’t much after 1984. Everywhere you look there is interesting material. (See Denmark for the Danish portion of this collection). Estimate =
