Opened New Box Of Mostly Classics

I took a covid break from sorting and cataloging. I'm not sure why, just part of the world pandemic of craziness.

Speaking of world, here is a fresh box of world stamps I just opened; I have 5 more just like this one that is at least two inches deep. This is gonna take a while!

Nice starting mixture ,I remember starting my collecting of stamps with mixtures just like this . They were called "orange bags " or the bigger "missionary mixture box " they were sold by H.E.Harris Co of Boston Mass.

How about the "Golden Galleon" if memory serves me?

Yes , KRELYEA . Remember those ,I was hard press to get enough money to buy that box of stamps .

Yes that was it ........sure enjoy spreading everything out on the floor in the bedroom and sitting there soaking stamps off paper .

Also got their catalog of stamp offers and supplies . I had the yellow album that sold at Woolworths for 50 cents and dreamed of getting the next larger album which was the Discovery album that cost $1.00...then the Travelers Album which was $2.00 or $2.50 ....then the huge Regency Album at $10.00 ....never thought I would advance to the three volume Standard Series {I still got my Standard set }.

The International's {Big Blues } were too advance so that set never entered my dream of advancing that far .

It was a fun journey .
