German Colonies
|
|
Mint Hinged and used collections of former German colonies consisting of: Cameroun #1 (cat US$11.00); New Britain #18-19 (2 stamps Scott cat US$100.00); Caroline Islands #3/23 (33 stamps, Scott cat US$449.95); Marshall Islands #3/27 (24 stamps, Scott cat US$294.65); Marianas #13/29 (21 stamps, Scott cat US$212.75; and Samoa #57/72 (21 stamps, US$78.90). All mounted on cut-down album pages, with duplicates on one Hagner stock sheet. An excellent starter/sampler lot for the collector interested in the WWI "Lost Colonies" that remained a sore point for Germany right up through WWII. Several of these colonies, being given to Japan as thanks for assistance in WWI, eventually formed the front line of their WWII expansionism. 2022 Scott US$1,046.75=
