Specialized Collection Assembled by Kasimir Bileski. Stupendous offering of Liberian postage stamps in complete mint NH sets, plus revenues, proofs, specimens, progressive essays, errors and more, all assembled by Kasimir Bileski, the famous Winnipeg stamp dealer and philatelic promoter. Over the years, Kasimir developed a soft spot for Liberian stamps, scouring international auctions, befriending designers, artists and Liberian postal officials, giving him access to unusual material unavailable to the general public. In the 1980s and 1990s he began putting together offerings of specialized Liberian philatelic items for preferred clients. This particular lot includes an accumulation most of the Liberian material that Kasimir had for sale, as well as the write-ups that accompanied the "special offers". The original (30 year old) cost of the contents of this lot was easily over $1,500.00 As a whole, this assemblage would make a fascinating exhibit, not only as a Liberian study but also as an example of the marketing brilliance of ostensibly Canada's greatest stamp dealer.
