Lot 578



Worldwide mint nineteenth century collection, Unused, all mint collection of many hundreds of 19th century stamps in an old Butler Bros. "Excelsior" album, originally a deluxe album with blank spaces, that has seen better days. The stamps, however, are nearly all F-VF, o.g.-- most uncommon for a collection formed this long ago. The collector apparently started to move his stamps to another album at some point, but only got to the letter "D", so from Egypt on the collection is fairly solid. And, though only "low values" were purchased, they were bought so long ago that there are many, many $25- & up stamps. Worth a careful look.
Estimate 1,500 - 2,000
