| 45 | U.S. | U.S. PLATE BLOCK AND SINGLE COLLECTION - two large albums that run to about 1984, the collection includes some singles as well, much of the value is in singles, some of the better stamps include: 235-37*, 238-40, 285-90*, 291, 294-99*, 323-30*, 369, 404, overall mixed condition with some faults to be expected, there is an additional $365.00 in face value that is not figured in the total catalog value listed, plenty of value here, take a look | 3,948.00 | ||||||

| 46 | U.S. | U.S. USED ACCUMULATION - about 80,000 used regular, commemorative and back of the book stamps, in glassines and on small stock cards, most identified by Scott #, 1894 to about 1985; a thousand or so of the 2 cent 1894-95 issue were noticed including Type I and II triangles, many of the Washington-Franklin issues of the 1910-20 period with many that do not appear to have been seperated by perf as some perf 10's (e.g., Scott #'s 437 or 475) were noticed; the same situation with the 1922-30 regulars so the odds are you will find some 599A and 634A; this lot will require an intermediate knowledge of perfs and watermarks to properly identify the stamps of this period; the vast majority of the stamps will be post 1940; condition will be mixed and duplication to a couple hundred each is not unusual; at our estimate of about two cents per stamp this may prove to be a rewarding treasure hunt (ENV 1,750-2,000) | ----- | ||||||
