A diverse lot. Made up of a large 3 ring binder with a count of 6,993 stamps (date of note on front = 2001) – appears to be mostly common stamps but could be anything in here. Many countries have two to three pages of mounted stamps, mostly 1940s to 1980s with some exceptions. Algeria, Angola, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Congo, Cuba, Cambodia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Greece, various Guinea's, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Yugoslavia, Kenya, Korea South, Laos, Liberia, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mozambique, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Paraguay, Philippines, Pitcairn, Poland (largest representation), Portugal, Romania (large representation), Russia, St Thomas, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Republic of Togolese, Turkey, USA (large representation); Vietnam, Yemen. Another smaller ring binder with more in it – several hundreds including earlies to mid 1980s: Luxembourg, Mexico (some mint), Mongolia, Mozambique, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway. Looking at the third smaller multi-ring book – it has many stamps in it noted as the better varieties but on checking a few they are not, such as GB Seahorses that were noted as better but are still $75 and $125 each (look Fine). Several in here that are $10 to $20 cv each. At 25 cents each for the larger 6,993 stamps = US$1,700.00 (and there are hundreds that are several dollars). There is European postal stationery from the late 1800s into the early 1900s with mostly postcards, mailed within Europe including Russia and includes an Austrian wrapper. 15 pieces in all. Owner's cat. value US$1,700.00 but he estimates the lot at $200.00. Estimate
