Six antique stamp albums unused, lightly used and in far better condition than normally seen. Starts with the Stanley Gibbons 1885 "Imperial Postage Stamp Album" volumes 1 and 2, with clasps on the open side. Plus, there are complementing 1885-1886 and 1886-1888 supplements. All hardcover, the only fault being sun fading of the outward facing spine. There is a "Richard" (Leipzig) 1890s "Postage Stamp Album" 7th edition, in magnificent condition. The "new" item is a "Lincoln" 11th edition pocketbook sized album which appears to be unused. These were some of the "high end" albums of their day. Most that we see are barely holding together. These are in excellent condition with intact binding, decent covers, and minimal or no evidence of past stamp hinging, except the 1886 supplement which has some 20th century stamps added. Estimate =
