I always peruse The Bay for classic remainder lots and collections in search of socked on the nose cancels and other interesting stuff. I spotted this collection offered for sale, a few things caught my eye, and I made an offer.

There's the usual amount of damaged crud, but the person who assembled it appeared to have an interest in overprints, perfins, and cancels.

There might be some better stamps sprinkled throughout as well.

Regardless, it will be a lot of fun to dissect.

Too many images to list on the forum, but I threw together a web page. Images are configured to display at 100% of page width, so if you maximize your browser window size, you'll see the images at higher resolution.

Apologies for the clipped stamp images at the edges, but the stock pages were larger than my scan bed.

Great Lot. If it were mine just about every stamp would find it's way to an album page. I also enjoy looking up postmarks, perfins and the odd stuff and doing little write-ups under the boxes on blank pages.

I was able to win an Scott Jr collection Friday afternoon on ebay with over 1600 stamps before 1915. I could only view 10 pages so I'm sure not what I will get but the price was less than $150.00 and breaking up that collection will take the rest of the year. Cheep entertainment.

I just hope I can get as many great items as your lot.

Enjoy!

WOW - happy digging!

Great lot and it wouldn't surprise me to see you find a couple stamps worth more than the whole lot cost.

Didn't review every line as tyoo busy. But was pleased to see several items in your new collection from Lourenco Marques. That's not a common occurrence.
