A collector’s lifetime accumulation of early Austrian stamps, each selected for SON (socked on the nose) postmarks. A near impossible group to replicate, with a total of 512 stamps and 3 postcards laid out on 19 hagner stocksheets and one album page. A primarily pre-1900 collection, with many being from the pre 1860 issues. Nice array of stamps with both regular & back of book issues (including newspaper tax stamps). Many better stamps noted throughout (including 7a - catalogue US$300.00 in Scott alone). Expect some minor faults, but largely a clean and sound group. Also included are a couple packets filled with a hundred or so "newer" SON cancels, not counted in the above total. Great lot for the cancel hound or connoisseur of nicely cancelled classic stamps.
