Extensive collection in a pair of Scott Specialty binders (one full size, one narrow), with pages up to 1989. Starts with a very full run of 19th century, including some intriguing "Imperial Crest" issues, a mint example of #85 overprinted ("Specimen"), a good run of Chrysanthemums (including many different perforations). The issues through the 1920’s and onward are a mix of mint and used, with lots of National Parks. By the 1960’s the issues are still a mix of mint and used, but very complete and in mounts with the occasional souvenir sheet. The second volume contains "back of the book", with semi-postals, a few airmails and a very nice run of postal stationery cards and envelopes. Besides being a labour of love, this collector added cut squares, cancels, shades, even currency to spice up the pages. The catalogue value will be substantial, and the condition is in above-average condition. Both binders are in excellent condition, one has a repaired dustcover. Estimate =
