Sale 313


Lot 164



Stock of Better Plate Blocks, Three stockbooks packed with plate blocks from the 1920s and '30s in moderate quantities. Highlights include 548 (3), 615 (5), 627 (23), 629 (7), 640-49 (2), C7-9, C10 (3), C12 (5), C46 (47), RW12, RW13 (2), etc., etc. Also includes a White Plains souvenir sheet, a $5 Prexie centerline block and two arrow blocks, a multitude of 2¢ red commemoratives and a few odds and ends like imprint strips of 3 #267/279B (26 including shades), and a 3¢ Prexie booklet with 50% plate no. The stock, which is part two from a similar lot we offered in our Sale 304, was assembled many years ago and is virtually all F-VF. Every block is in a mount and, while we didn't check every block, we looked at enough to convince us that, except for the 267/279B strips, it is probably 99% NH! A terrific lot.
