Sale 708 Collections, Stocks and Accumulations of the World

Worldwide, Fauna Collection, 1852-2016. Housed on stockpages in 6 binders (2 slip-cased); U.S. and Canada predominate, but Mexico, Newfoundland, Québec, St. Pierre & Miquelon, Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland make decent appearances as well; stamps, stationery, imperfs, hunting/conservation stamps, you name it and it has an animal, bird or fish on it, and it's almost certainly here; items snake back to two Canadian Beavers from 1852-53 (#4d and 12, both unused), two Newfoundland Seals from 1865 (#25-26), a 10¢ Eagle from the U.S. 1869 Pictorials (#116, unused!) with a proof of the same set's 30¢ Eagle & Shield (#121P, a few minor thins) and Mexico's 1899 Eagle with Snake series (#294 face-free.); going through the albums, you'll also ferret out U.S. State Hunting and Fishing stamps (including a 1971 California Duck Stamp, along with Pheasant and Trout & Salmon stamps), along with Canadian Federal and Provincial Habitat Conservation stamps; the eagle-eyed will also spy BEP and ABNC engravings (Philatelic and Numismatic Show cards, along with presentation cards showing various animal vignettes) and SPM deluxe proofs; we won't badger you with an overwhelming list--there's just far too much in this collection to ram into a short description; we do, however, suggest you click the lynx to take a gander at the photos on the web site, go wild and add to you menagerie; this collection is well worth viewing.
