INTERESTING UNITED STATES ACCUMULATION offered intact as received, this important range of material has both stamps and postal history, often chaotically presented. Highlights include 19th century Trans-Atlantic ten covers with various 24cts shades of the 1861 types including a pair. Useful Bloods penny post on cover, various mint ducks, quantity of classics mint, unused as well as used, covering the gamut of condition often needing incorporation into the main collections. The material waiting to be put into collections is sometimes as good if not better than the stamps in the actual albums. There is also lots of face value in boxes, glassine envelopes, stockbooks etc, as well as a chronologically ordered face in the many albums. The main collection itself from #1 onwards has 1861 Washington 90c (2) and various other 1867 grills well worth investigating, especially as much of this collection was bought several decades ago over two generations. The collection unfolds to the 1869s also strong with the 90cts Lincoln and various other definitives, again requiring further classification, particularly among the 1870/1875/1880 definitives and then on to more obvious 1894 and 1895 types, leading to $ Perry etc. Also present useful early commems Columbians onwards through to early 20th century, as well as interesting Washington/Franklin heads definitives, with coils etc. Another section is devoted to back of the book, especially the newspaper issues, locals including specialized postal history, often with better and the distinct possibility of EKUs, from a very good original 19th century correspondence to a Scandinavian family. Much of the back of the book needs work and there is definitely considerable potential when finally categorized. Further better earlier first flights and zeppelins on cover. There is a distinctly good "feel" to this, anything could be here, even quite good foreign sighted, again with emphasis on back of the book – this too often presented without rhyme or reason also deserves a good viewing. Overall, while this is excellent presentation in parts with the many albums, much outside of this is disorganized and there is considerable value here. This represents a fantastic opportunity for a dealer, especially if you have the time to go through this carefully, you will see much more. A recommended viewing.Est. $30000-35000
