Description
This extensive collection of United States philatelic material includes a wide variety of singles, blocks, plate blocks, and postal covers spanning from the mid-19th century through the late 20th century. Notable highlights include Federal Migratory Bird Hunting stamps, specifically the 1938 Pintails Scott No.RW5 , 1939 Green-winged Teal Scott No.RW6 , and 1940 Black Ducks Scott No.RW7 . Other identified items of interest include a plate block of four of the 1915 2c Panama Canal issue Scott No.398 , the 10c Lindbergh Spirit of St. Louis airmail Scott No.C10 , and early definitive issues such as the 1870-71 6c Lincoln Scott No.137 . Revenue material is present, including a 3c proprietary issue with an 1874 cancellation Scott No.RB8 . The lot features a substantial volume of first-day covers, primarily from the mid-20th century, with several Apollo 11 moon landing commemoratives. The collection is organized within several binders, wooden display frames, and hundreds of glassine envelopes, many of which are marked with Scott catalog numbers and previous pricing annotations. This material reflects the technical evolution of United States postal and revenue systems over more than one hundred years of issue.
