France Covers

Eclectic and intriguing accumulation of 1815 to 1937 period French postal history, including 33 folded stampless letters (1815 to 1850 period) plus 220 covers ranging from the early Classic period up to the 1930s. Wide range of rates, usages and issues noted, well worth researching in detail. Also included are two 19th Century covers, carried (smuggled according to the dealer) from France, franked with 2c US stamps and then mailed locally in New York City. Estimate
