Collections, Stocks and Accumulations #654

Romania, Mint & Used Assortment, 1850s-1960s.Thousands of stamps housed in a well-filled stock book, representing the duplicates and questionable classics from one man's lifetime collection, also offered in this auction. Starting with the 1858 coat of arms issue with sixteen stamps between #1 to #7, including fascinating manuscript cancels, black fancy cancels, oval postmarks, etc. A similar pattern with the imperforate King Carol issues with about 60 examples here and many more hundreds of the subsequent 19th Century perforated issues. We also noted a very strong 20th Century section, and you could probably make at least three or four good Romanian collections out of this lot. All rare stamps in this lot are offered as is, reflected as such in our conservative estimate. Huge potential for the expert, well worth allotting plenty of time to view, Fine to Very Fine.
Estimate $1,200 - 1,800.
