Attacking The 3 Pound Monster.

Well I got about one third of the monster tackled and will start posting some items. No million dollar finds but a lot of fun. Nothing has been cataloged yet(perfs.,watermarks, color). Still need to finish breaking it down into sections. Here are some air/BOB items, some neat finds. Also, got about $7.00 face back in mnh stamps so far.

Airmails


Documentary


Stock and Revenues


Postage Due/Parcel post (can't wait to sort the colors


MNH post office fresh. I count these as refunds.


Have not forgot about you gussyboy. Been keeping a eye out for these Red Cross.

What a great find

You must be having a blast

I'm glad you are having so much fun. Is that a C3a I saw there?


Maybe not.

Where, where! That's not funny Gregg! No still no giant finds yet but here are some more from the first third of the lot. The lot is pretty much the same through out, nice mix. I am being kicked out of the dining room for the Halloween dinner party so will be temporarily shut down on the sorting. Oh well more to come next week.

Early classics, Columbians, a set of parks.


Prexies,over run countries set, lots of line pairs.


Cut squares, odds and ends.

DANG looks like a very nice haul there, and to think your not even finished going thru it. For some reason I feel that you maybe smiling like a kid in candy shop with a $50 gift certificate, I know I would be. Thanks for sharing and I hope we get to see lots more of the Monster.

Check the air mail stamps. If any have Texas town/city postmarks, I'd be interested in them.

David

David will try to keep an eye out for these as I go through the monster, already found some for gussyboy1. This was one reason to get this lot for some new trading stock.

Dave I have one with three 25 cent William McKinley & 15 cent Special Delivery. Post mark San Antonio Marc 28 1951 Tex including one of the cool #3 line shaped cancels.

Well I finally got my sorting table back from the wife. So away goes another third of the monster. So far the mix has been pretty even.

More BOB, postage due, Revs. Can't hardly wait to check the colors on these and others.


Lucked out getting some of these special delivery.


Closer view. Click on any pic for full size.


A Lot of line pairs and cut squares, oh my.


Will load up some more tomorrow.

You're soooooo lucky Mac

Looks like you're having a ball

Dianne

Dianne, this little venture has really been rewarding. When spending hundreds on one stamp it is a great find and feeling once the stamp is received. But sometimes it soon will pass. Now with this lot one just keeps uncovering little gems to give me a stamp fix for the day even if they are not high value. I guess the addiction will make one go to great lengths, as I have not even checked perfs., color or cataloged yet but will do this even for a penny stamp.
Forgive me I am a addicted collector.

Many hours of perfs still to check.


Some more airmails. Take care more to come. It's a hobby.

What a great find.....

Came across some more post office fresh stamps. So the tally goes from $45-$7 1st lb.-$8.50 2nd lb. = $29.50 for 3lbs. with one to go. Even had a $5 Bret Harte Have not even counted the mint ones with hinge marks. Also,some more nice banknotes and Washington/Franklin's to sort through.

My Refunds! All MNH


Plenty of Washington/ Franklin's to keep me busy.


A lot of prexie sets and some Comm. Washington's.


I hope all the pics are not loading down dialups but just wanted to show there are still some good kiloware lots out there.

The magic of the kilo.

Well out of two pounds so far and all is well, haven't gone cross eyed yet. I think the last pound will be put away for a cold rainy day as I have many perfs. and cataloging to do. Here finally are awaiting rows of commemorative and definitive late 20's on up.


Commemorative and Definitive awaiting breakdown.



Gussyboy 1, here are some more for you to add.


David, I did not forget about Texas but this so far is all I found.


And here goes a Seabee for laswabbie.

Wish it was more centered.
