Poland arrived, but I discovered that I already posted the title page for it. Not much besides Poland, but that is a rather large country anyway. |

I ordered three countries in one lot, so here they are. First Norway. There was no "Table of Contents" page included in what I received. Perhaps Norway is all that one got with Norway -- can't recall them ever having any colonies anyway.  |

The second one was Sweden. There was also no "Table of Contents" page included with Sweden. Perhaps, like Norway, there were no other countries since I can't recall Sweden having any colonies either.  |

The third country was Denmark. This country's title page did list two other countries included: Danish West Indies and Greenland. I guess the title page was lost over the years. Unfortunately, the lot was missing both of those countries, so I'll still be looking.  |

Looking through the Minkus listings of 2-post Specialty Albums that were available, I did not find Denmark, Norway, or Sweden. Since these clearly are Minkus Specialties, and since they were printed in 1963, before the album listings already posted in this thread, I'm guessing that they were part of the "Scandinavia, Baltic Countries" Album. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks. |

Oh, just occurred to me. Did the Minkus "Scandinavia, Baltic Countries" Specialty Album also include Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia? And were any other countries also included? |

Sorry, that so many of these are a bit blurry. I'm resorting to finding these second-hand. When I can get good copies in hand, I'll take high-resolution images and re-post. None the less, I think that these are legible, so they should work for this purpose. |

This is the title page for Bolivia. Although there was no table of contents in this album, which seems to indicate that only the primary country is included, this album did include an original page for Bolivian Revenue stamps used for postage. Perhaps the table of contents page was missing.  |

Of course, as the Minkus album listing indicate, the binder listed both Bolivia and Paraguay. And, indeed, both country's pages were there. Here is the title page for Paraguay. As with Bolivia, there was not table of contents page, nor were there any additional pages besides Paraguay country pages.  |

Mexico was a stand-alone Minkus Specialty, 2-post album. My copy did not include a table of contents (and from its condition, I would say that it never had one).  |
