Portugal and a few Colonies
|
|
plus Guinea & India. Old dealer's stock, 1870-1989 period, identified and organized in glassines by Scott number. Includes postage dues, RA's, Q's. Older prices quoted but in a quick check doesn't seem to be much different from newer prices. Mostly used. This lot came to the owner along with a huge lot of 20+ moving boxes/cartons, including the Commonwealth (that he wanted). The consignor doesn't collect nor have any interest in or knowledge of Portugal. Also unchecked by us. Here's, an opportunity where a knowledgeable person can often find some extra value in varieties and postmarks. The glassines (approx. 750) generally contain a few to several stamps, in some cases as many as 30 or so in each. Mostly appear to be lower values but I see a percentage with cat value of several dollars each. One will always find a few damaged in a lot as large as this, but appears to be in generally Fine condition. A few unidentified. Hours and hours of fun and treasure hunting here (qty: 5000+- stamps). The owner's conservative cat value EASILY exceeds US$1,500.00, and that is with no added consideration for cancels or potential varieties. Estimate
