Dear Collector, Welcome to Hartford for this year’s APS National StampShow – our nation’s premier philatelic exhibition. Join us at this fantastic show. We have been named an Official Auctioneer, and are pleased to feature one of the largest sales in our history. We’re also excited to offer three major holdings – the balance of the massive Bob Weisz stock, as well as the collections of St. Louis collectors Leo Groenweghe and David Straight. Our Public Auction is being held Saturday & Sunday, August 23-24, with both sessions starting at 11am (ET). This is a well-rounded and diverse auction with 3,283 lots, spanning virtually all aspects of philately & postal history. You’ll find everything from world-class rarities to affordable material of interest for all levels of collectors. Here’s a sampling of just a few of the U.S. Stamp Rarities in this sale: n Lot 277: USA (120b) 1869 Declaration of Independence 24¢, Inverted center (Cat value $37,500) n Lot 355: USA (195) 1880 Special Printing of 6¢ Lincoln (Cat value $80,000) n Lot 1079: USA (J58) 1914 Numeral Postage Due, 50¢ Carmine Lake (Cat $11,500) n Lot 1559: USA (4806 var) $2 Jenny non-invert GRADED 95 single from sheet of 6 (Est $10,000-$15,000) n Lot 1575: USA (U178a) 1876 5¢ Taylor cut square, special ‘Centennial Die’ (Cat $12,500)

But there are many other great highlights as well. These include a number of super-premium graded stamps, such as Lot 277, a 1¢ 1851 Type IIIa (#8A) with a grade of 90 XQ (extra quality); a 30¢ 1869 Shield and Flags reprint of 1875 with a grade of 95; and even two Confederate States issues (#11 and #12), each with a perfect grade of 100 (Lots 1727 and 1729). There are many other stamps in this sale grading at least 90 or higher. Highlighting the Foreign Session of the auction is the UNIQUE sheet of overprinted Romania airmail stamps (for the coronation of King Carol II) with two stamps featuring inverted overprints (Lot 2246). These are the only known inverts on this issue. These are in fact the world’s rarest inverted overprints! The sheet – full of philatelic lore – is estimated at $750,000-$1,000,000. In our revenue section you’ll find a RARE grouping of Indian Reservation Conservation stamps (Lots 1629-34), including the 1962 Lower Brule tribe #3A, with ‘Predator’ overprint (Lot 1634, Est $10,000). This is the first time we have ever offered these – you just never see this type of material anywhere. A few of our Postal History highlights include a UNIQUE use of two examples the 5¢ Red Orange 1847 Franklin, Scott 1c on an 1857 folded letter (Lot 2308, Cats $20,000+). Additionally, the David Straight collection features hundreds of quality Pneumatic Post covers – both as single lots and in large and small accumulations, and even a small selection of scarce Mongolian covers (Lots 2551-62), as well as an EXTREMELY RARE Russian-Mongolian border town cover (Lot 2567, Est $10,000). And, there’s the ever-popular Collections & Box Lots – more than 650 of them. These range from small, affordable groupings of postcards, covers and stamps for a few hundred dollars to massive dealer stocks and valuable collections of U.S. and foreign estimated for tens of thousands of dollars each. Many of these intriguing (and valuable) groupings come from the extensive Leo Groenweghe collection. Virtually every country of the world is represented. If you can’t join us in person, you may view the lots at our St. Louis gallery until Friday, August 15th. As always, live bidding is available 24/7 at www.RegencySuperior.com (updated instantaneously, 24 hours a day), or just fax your bids to (314) 361-5677. Best of luck with your bidding!

Bidding Guidelines for Stamps & Postal History Stamp Catalogs

Stamp Centering Grades

The current editions of Scott Catalogues are used, plus where applicable, additional catalog values are listed from Gibbons, Michel, Facit, Yvert & PSE's Stamp Market Quarterly (SMQ).

Estimates In addition to the catalog value, 'estimates' are listed for each lot. You will find the estimates more reflective of the current market, and what you can reasonably expect to pay for a lot. You may, of course, bid higher or lower than the estimates. You may also speak with a lot describer for a more detailed description of a particular lot. Please call at least 72-hours prior to the sale (the earlier, the better). Remember, a Public Auction is not an approval service. Lots are not returnable unless misdescribed.

Covers & Postcards Covers should be expected to have slight reductions, minor nicks and tears usually from opening. Folded letters normally have one or two file folds, and these are not normally described and are not grounds for return.

Extremely Fine

Near perfect centering on all four sides. A real gem.

Very fine

Well centered, all perforations well clear of design on all four sides, but design slightly off center.

FVF Fine to Very Fine Perforations clear design on all four sides, but design is off center usually on two sides. F

Fine

Perforations barely clear design, or may touch on early issues prior to 1900.

AVE Average

Perforations cut into design.

IMPORTANT: Early stamp issues prior to 1900 were printed in such a way that the design was naturally very close to the edges. This is taken into consideration when grading. For SETS, the above classifications are used in describing the overall appearance of the set with particular attention to the high values.

Stamp Gum & Hinging MNH Never Hinged

Limits You may limit your total purchases by simply indicating the amount on your bidding form. This way, for example, you can bid on $5,000 worth of lots, but limit your purchases to $1,000. Remember, all lots are sold in lot number order. Bids on specific lots over and beyond your limit may be added to your purchase if you indicate they are to be excluded from your limit.

Mint, full original gum as issued by the Post Office. No trace of any hinge mark and no gum disturbance. The presence of an expertizer’s mark does not disqualify a stamp from this designation, but will be noted.

LH Lightly Hinged Unused, original gum with light gum disturbance from the removal of a hinge. No hinge remnant present, and only a trace of the hinge mark visible.

'OR' Bids

Hinged

You may bid on several similar lots with the assurance that you will purchase only one of them. Simply place an 'OR' between the bids submitted on the lots involved, and we will buy the first 'OR' lot for you, and void the rest. Remember, all lots are sold in lot number order, so you may not indicate a preference for one lot over another.

()

Unused

Unused, original gum. Hinge marks will be readily present, and there may be some small pieces of the hinge still adhering to the stamp. No gum.

Dr. Leo Groenweghe Dr. Leo Groenweghe was born in Dutch speaking Antwerp, Belgium. At the age of 9 his uncle gave him 50 Belgian stamps and a 1928 Yvert, Tellier & Champignon catalogue. Dr. Groenweghe now has a collection of over 200,000 different worldwide stamps. During the German occupation of World War II he joined a local stamp club, but his collecting was postponed to study at the University of Ghent, Belgium. There he earned a Doctor of Science degree in inorganic and physical chemistry, and later served in the Belgian army as a second lieutenant. In 1953 he moved to the U.S. to work in the research division of the Spencer Chemical Company in Pittsberg, Kansas. Living in Joplin, Missouri he joined a modest stamp club. Although small, the stamp club was passionate about the hobby. However, lacking a local stamp dealer there was little opportunity to broaden his collection. So, he started bidding on small collections, and devised a way to have the members divide them into small lots to be auctioned. In 1957, after joining the Monsanto Company in Saint Louis, he founded the Monsanto Stamp Club using the same system. In 1958, Dr. Groenweghe proudly became a U.S. citizen continuing to expand his own collection, still following the Yvert & Tellier numbering system. Nonetheless, at 89 years of age, Leo and his wife Marie moved to a retirement home where lack of space for his vast collection prevented him from expanding it further. He asked David Kols, president of Regency-Superior to help him get his stamps into the hands of collectors who will enjoy them. To this day, Dr. Groenweghe continues to volunteer for the Monsanto Stamp Club as business manager, and sits as committee chairman for the annual Saint Louis Stamp Expo.

David L. Straight (1955-2012) A prolific writer and researcher, Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s articles have appeared in the American Philatelist, Stamp Collector, The American Stamp Dealer & Collector, the Postal History Journal and many others. David enjoyed a range of collecting and exhibiting interests that included postage due, pneumatic tube mail, post office forms, St. Louis postal history and recently, early Mongolia. David was an organizer of the Winston F. Blount Symposium on postal history. He was also the driving force behind Volunteer Work Week at APS Headquarters, Philatelic Union Catalog, the Philatelic Union Catalog, the Philatelic Librarians Roundtable, first Chairman of Stamp Camp USA, vice-president of the APS and APRL Board, the list goes on. Mr. Straight was quite vocal about making technology work for philately. He was constantly developing future projects to implement one day. One pet project was an algorithm to determine the volume of a post office based on a date and the registry number for that date. Unfortunately, the philatelic community lost Mr. Straight on October 13, 2012 due to a massive stroke. Later that year, The Royal Philatelic Society of London honored David as a Fellow for philatelic writing, and was entitled to add the initials FRPSL after his name. Mr. Straight was also presented the Elizabeth Pope award for lifetime contributions to philately by the St. Louis Stamp Expo. David was one of the founding members of the St. Louis Stamp Expo. Regency-Superior is honored to offer his fantastic collection featuring hundreds of quality Pneumatic Post covers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both as single lots and in large and small accumulations, and even a small selection of scarce Mongolian covers, as well as an extremely rare Russian-Mongolian border town cover.

2000 SACAGAWEA $1 ‘GLENNA GOODACRE’ PRESENTATION DOLLAR ........................................ PH

$500

In 2000, the U.S. Mint paid $5,000 to Glenna Goodacre for creating the winning design for the obverse of the Sacagawea Dollar. That amount was paid with 5,000 Sacagawea Dollars. Mint Director Phil Dhiel delivered the coins to Goodacre in Santa Fe, NM. About 5 years later, it was discovered the coins were a special minting, struck on specially prepared planchets by specially produced dies. Goodacre Presentation dollars have a different appearance from normal dollar coins, with a burnished satin-like appearance and better strikes than most circulation Sacagawea Dollars with the same date and mint mark. These special coins now have their own designation. This particular coin, certified by ICG, is designated as No 3,467/5,000.

$500

Vertical right margin plate, star and imprint block of 6 (#5162) showing multiple pre-printing paper creases splitting designs of 4 of the 6 stamps. The largest of these measures a full 3 millimeters at its widest point. Very scarce combination of position piece with this popular freak. Hinge reinforcing to weakened areas on reverse. Striking.

$350

Lower left vertical margin pair with massive diagonal preprinting paper crease that opened before perforating. Crease splits designs of both stamps, which are essentially perforated normally. At its widest, crease opens out to a full 8½mm. Not only did crease open out before perforating, it was also used (with wavy line cancel). Selvage perfs are a bit fragile, but they have not been reinforced. Excellent piece showing problems of printing technology.

(332) 1908 WASHINGTON 2¢ CARMINE, ‘STRING THEORY’ FREAK ...................................... PH

Includes: #332 irregular block, vertical perfs shifted; #515 vertical pair, blind perfs between; #685 horizontal pair, perforated vertical in center of stamps, separated along vertical perfs. Nice group, all MINT never hinged.

$400

Lower left large margin pair with large unprinted area caused by foreign object (likely paper), which adhered during printing and came off later. Sharp line is embossed into paper. Original gum, previously hinged with somewhat fragile perfs sensibly reinforced with hinges. Scarce.

$400

Horizontal pair with right stamp affected by string that was present on surface of stamp paper during printing that later fell off, leaving unprinted area. Always scarce, always popular. Original gum, previously hinged.

Big dramatic vignette shift well into frame, fresh colors, light machine cancel, fine. 1437

(331) 1908 FRANKLIN 1¢ GREEN, MARGIN BLOCK WITH FOLDOVER, CRAZY PERFS ............ PH

Outstanding upper left margin block of 6 with diagonal foldover causing crazy perfs and very bizarre shaped stamp. Ironically, despite EFO nature, stamps centered very fine to extremely fine! MINT never hinged, trivial perf separation at bottom.

Vertical right margin strip of 3, extra diagonal perfs and foldover results in striking EFO. Original gum, some gum upper right front resulting from foldover, top pair NH, bottom pair hinged, very fine. 1436

HUGE 17½mm pre-printing paper crease on upper left margin vertical pair that opened after printing, but before perforating. As a result, stamps are perforated normally, but with massive void splitting design and leaving part in sheet margin. Stamps bear pencil and hand-stamped rejection marks, but they obviously weren’t destroyed! Bottom stamp is MINT never hinged; top has hinge reinforcing horizontal perfs at top. Very striking!

Amazing foldover error, with part of stamp printed on reverse. Original gum, previously hinged. 1462

(564a) 1923 CLEVELAND 12¢ BROWN VIOLET, STRIP OF 4 IMPERF VERTICALLY ......................... PH $2000

Unique transition piece from only known error sheet caused by foldover and tear. First 3 stamps are imperf vertically, with normal horizontal perfs and second row running diagonally. Spacing identifies these as what should have been vertical perforations. Fourth stamp shows tear and point of foldover before perforating. Government splicing strip on reverse (normal for this issue) has pencil notations that these are positions 45-48 from discovery sheet. May not qualify as ‘true’ imperf vertically (Scott $4,250 for pair), but transition piece tells much more about production of this rare error. OG, previously hinged. Fine.

$350

Unusual right margin block with plate number (#17676). Block has been overinked, smeared and possible crease caused stamp to fold over, leaving partial setoff of design in right margin.

(1433) 1971 JOHN SLOAN 8¢ MULTI, MASSIVE COLOR & PERFORATION SHIFT, PLATE BLOCK .................................................................................... PH $2000

Upper left plate block of 6 (#33130) that is a visual cacophony, caused by a single color shift! The engraved colors (red and black) are in alignment with each other, but with nothing else. The shift is a full 11mm to the left and 15mm downward at the plate number, but at a slight angle. This means no two stamps are the same. Offset colors (light red, light blue and buff) are in alignment with each other and with the perforations, but overall appearance simply bizarre. As a result of the huge downward shift, the two top stamps have very little engraving, making it more easily visible how this mess happened. Fantastic (if not unique) showpiece. MINT never hinged (bottom right stamp has fingerprint on gum).

Inverted green precancel. Fresh, MINT never hinged, very fine. (Copy of 2014 PF Cert #518660 for pair) Cat $600. (800) 782-0066 • www.RegencySuperior.com

Right margin block of 4 that is a visual cacophony, caused by a single color shift! The engraved colors (red and black) are in alignment with each other, but with nothing else. The shift is full 7mm to the left and 10mm downward, but at a slight angle, meaning no two stamps are quite the same. The offset colors (light red, light blue and buff) are in alignment with each other and with the perforations, but overall appearance rather ghostly and eerie. Also, as a result of the right-margin gutter jump, right two stamps are very nearly missing engraved red color (from same pane as 1433b). Great showpiece. MINT never hinged. 1504

None of any type are known on license and only a small handful are known in any condition. As a result, they are listed, but not valued in Jaffe catalog.

««/« 1930 Unique Romania 2L Airmail Sheet, Two Stamps with INVERTED OVERPRINT Estimate $750,000-$1,000,000

UNIQUE sheet of 50 2-Lei 1930 airmail stamps, TWO of which have INVERTED OVERPRINTS (positions 16 and 17, left pair in fourth row). Remaining 48 stamps all have normal overprint, although overprint setting differences are visible. Error was caused when two stamps became separated from the sheet, were reattached with gummed paper upside-down and, presumably, returned to stamp stock. When the overprint was applied for Coronation of King Carol II (June 8, 1930), the invert occurred on the 2 reattached stamps. Of the 826 sheets overprinted, these two are the ONLY inverts ever found. Pane otherwise intact, with original gum, which is mostly never hinged (except for reattached pair area). Corner stamps have rounded corners and a few toned spots affecting top row. Even as normal variety this is a rare sheet, but with the only known inverts, it’s a UNIQUE showpiece that has been shown publicly only once at the World Stamp Expo 2000 in Anaheim, CA. Although not confirmed, it is generally thought this sheet was part of King Carol’s personal collection, which was never located after his widow’s death in 1977. The history of this fascinating error sheet before 1980 is largely unknown, although it was listed in the 1966 edition of ‘Sanabria’. In 1980, the sheet was offered by Sotheby’s and was purchased by Herbert Klein. When the Klein estate was sold by Christie’s in 1996, the sheet was purchased by the current owner and has been held since. Very Fine. 1981 Friedl Certificate signed by Herbert Bloch, pane signed by renowned experts Aime Brun and Rudolf Zoscsak. Unique opportunity to obtain the world’s rarest major error and become enduring part of philatelic lore! (Sanabria #8d)

Professor George Rusu George began collecting stamps as a young boy in his native Romania, and continued during his time at Law School and after he moved to Rome to study architecture. Later he emigrated to the USA and studied for his Master of Architecture degree at the University of Michigan. Apart from helping to design some of Manhattan’s famous landmarks, George as a collector, is a true visionary and with innovation, dedication and foresight, he has accumulated probably the most exciting Aviation collection in the World. The collection encompasses Montgolfier Brothers first balloon flight in 1783 to Louis Bleirot, Amelia Earhart, the Wright Brothers to Zeppelins, to Russia launching the World’s first journey into Space with Sputnik 1, to that famous day when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin actually walked on the Moon. This unique collection of incredible Rarities, includes some fantastic relics of true aviation history and original artifacts from Space Exploration, including the only known piece in existence of Sputnik 1 – which orbited the Earth, but was destroyed upon its return. The only other known example is in the Smithsonian Space Museum, but that piece never left the ground, so is far less significant. Among the many other treasures in Professor Rusu’s remarkable collections are The World’s Rarest Airmail Stamp – the Romanian Inverted Overprint Error offered here. ‘While most stamp collectors know of the Inverted Jenny and many of the Pan American inverts, these are downright common when compared to the 1930 Romania issue, of which only two examples are known. Like the Inverted Jenny, this stamp features an aircraft upside down, but unlike the Inverted Jenny where the entire sheet is upside down, on this sheet only the stamps in positions 16 and 17 are overprinted upside down.’ (Gibbons Stamp Monthly, December 2009) This highly collectable and extremely rare item is assumed to be from the collection of King Carol II and has been certified as genuine by the legendary Herbert J Bloch. In 1980, the sheet was offered by Sotheby’s and was purchased by Herbert Klein. When the Klein estate was sold by Christie’s in 1996, the sheet was purchased by Rusu and has been held since. A unique opportunity to obtain the world’s rarest major error and become an enduring part of philatelic lore! Professor Rusu is an elder statesman and has decided that sadly the time has come to sell his fabulous collections. – Gary Ashburn

King Carol II, a devoted collector, is known more for his checkered history with women, than for leadership skills. In 1921, Carol married his second cousin (both were great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria) and remained married until news of one of his affairs essentially forced him to renounce his right to the throne in 1925, in favor of his son, Michael, who became king in July 1927. On June 7, 1930, Carol returned to the throne by means of a coup d’etat (the occasion for which these stamps were overprinted). After establishing his own authoritarian regime in 1938, Carol abdicated in 1940, left the country and died in Brazil in 1953.

The scarcest shade of the 5¢ 1847 issue on the ONLY REPORTED COVER bearing 2 examples. Folded letter to Cleveland, datelined New York, June 27, 1851, franked with two single 5¢ red orange stamps, each tied with red square grid cancels, matching red NY CDS at right. Right stamp has large margins, showing small part of stamp below, small faults and a lightened manuscript mark bottom left; left stamp margins large to just in upper left, small internal crease top right. The Red Orange shade has long been considered by far the most desirable of all color varieties of the 5¢ 1847. Of the total of 14,817 covers reported in the 1847 cover census, only 6 bear the Red Orange shade, and this is the ONLY ONE with 2 examples. Calvet Hahn postulated in his research that the Red Orange was part of the final printing of the 5¢ 1847 in December 1850 – a fact confirmed by Wade Saadi. This, of course, would be one of the latest uses before the 1851 series replaced thee 1847 issue. An extremely important 1847 issue cover and major show piece! (2013 PF Cert #514277) Cat $20,000.

– PNEUMATIC POST – 2376

D 1898 NYPOD APOLOGY LETTER FOR DESTROYED MAIL, WITH DAMAGED PIECE ........ PH $1400

Likely unique item from 1898 pneumatic mail accident. Late in the afternoon of Feb. 21, 1898, post office workers noticed an empty pneumatic vehicle. Upon removal ‘there came flying through the tube a large amount of crushed and torn paper.’ Salvaging what they could, postal workers began the task of identifying and forwarding mail with special printed apology letter. In this case, transmittal cover was completely destroyed, but torn and soiled contents were forwarded. Includes original letter (dated Feb. 21) and apology letter (dated Feb. 23). Extra grubby and extremely desirable! Ex-Straight.

Extremely ratty and RARE (as it should be) cover originating April 1904 in Great Britain, bound for Boston. Upon entering Boston’s tube system April 28, cover was severely stained and damaged, prompting officials to affix special green form/label on reverse. Form, from office of the postmaster, reads, ‘The mutilation of this piece of mail matter was accidentally caused while being transmitted through the pneumatic tube and its damaged condition is greatly regretted.’ Amazing showpiece. Ex-Straight. 2378 1904-07 PNEUMATIC POST, BOSTON ‘DAMAGE’ LABELS, ONE ON COVER .................... PH $1000

Two examples of extremely RARE ‘auxiliary’ labels explaining damage in Boston system (no markings are known).

Hibbard, / Postmaster.’ Second label is identical, except it is overprinted ‘Edward C. Mansfield,’ Hibbard’s successor (1907-14). Rare showpieces. Ex-Straight.

Pair of covers bearing auxiliary markings explaining damage in tube system. Slightly more than 1½ miles of tubing connected the Brooklyn post office with the New York office, allowing mail to travel that distance in three minutes, rather than 30 minutes or longer by wagon. Because the tube was hung along the Brooklyn Bridge, mail was often subjected to blockages, causing damage. Covers show two different auxiliary markings. First is three-line ‘Received in Bad Condition, / From Pneumatic Tube. / (N.Y.P.O.-2d Div.).’ Second is two-line ‘Received in Bad Order / From Pneumatic Tube.’ Both clear strikes and extremely scarce.

Pneumatic Post – USA Specialty Covers, cont. 2385 1928 DAMAGED & MARKED AIRMAIL POLAR COVER ......................................................... PH

$750

Cover addressed to Congress High School Stamp Club (in Bridgeport, CT), sent first aboard Gen. Nobile’s North Pole Flight (franked with Norway Scott 130), then on first flight CAM 30 on leg of Chicago-Atlanta route, where it apparently sustained some damage and a crooked Dec. 1 Chattanooga machine cancel. On its final leg to Bridgeport, cover passed through New York Tube system, where it was fairly shredded, marked with three-line ‘Received in Bad Condition, / From Pneumatic Tubes / G.P.O.N.Y..’ marking and duplex transit Dec. 2 New York GPO marking. Rare exhibit piece. Ex-Straight. 2386 1929 PNEUMATIC POST CATAPULT COVER ENTERS VIENNA TUBE SYSTEM ............. PH

$300

Scarce cover mailed from Chicago Sept 10, 1929, bound for Vienna, Austria, with 22¢ airmail postage, intended for catapult service aboard the ‘Bremen.’ Cover was shortpaid and apparently not given catapult service, but was given ‘express’ treatment in Vienna, entering tube system. Austrian ‘Flugpost’ cancel on face, two different pneumatic post markings on reverse. Fine and worthy of further study. Ex-Straight.

2389 (1913-15) 1913-15 PARCEL POST POSTAGE DUE USES (x6) .................................................................. PH

Small clutch of half-dozen covers with various uses of these scarce issues.

$750

Small study of half-dozen covers representing possible uses of this scarce issue on cover. Includes most ‘common’ use, 1¢ due on unpaid postcard and 1¢ due on 2¢ letter-rate cover, as well as more esoteric 1¢ due on postcard with attachment (to meet letter rate), 1¢ due as war tax on 1917 postcard and cover (the latter with Minneapolis precancel) and two on 2¢ due assessment for undeliverable second-class matter form (5-5498). Even as most common uses, catalogs $960, but there are a couple of doozies here! Fine. Ex-Straight. 2391 (JQ1) 1916 PARCEL POST POSTAGE DUE 1¢ GREEN ON PANCHO VILLA SOLDIER CARD .... PH

$300

Incredible use of this issue on real photo postcard showing military tents in desert. Card mailed without stamp from Columbus, NM, late March 1916 (Pancho Villa’s raid was March 9), with some sort of ‘Soldier’ notation (under stamp). Card was assessed postage due and stamped upon arrival in Bay Point, CA, April 1. Note is from soldier chasing Villa to parents, asking them to address mail to Columbus, NM. Very fine. Ex-Straight. 2392 (JQ1) 1917 PARCEL POST POSTAGE DUE 1¢ GREEN ON CARD ................................................ PH

Violet U.S. Base Hospital auxiliary marking added. Upon arrival in New York (Aug 19, 1917), card was marked and assessed postage due with stamp affixed and tied to card by double-ring oval. Very fine. Ex-Straight.

– POST OFFICE SEALS – 2388 (OXF14A) 1906 POST OFFICE SEAL ON REGISTERED PACKET COVER .............................. PH

$500

One of the scarcest of the known post office seals on cover. Oversized registered package mailed from Postage Stamp Agency in Washington, DC, to postmaster of Hartman, NY. Cover bears several additional markings (including ‘NY & Chi tr. 43...’ rail marking). Most notable, however, is that post office seal is tied to cover by large, crisp Bureau of Engraving & Printing wax seal, with additional seal on opposite diagonal corner. Seals both bear age cracks, but were never broken by recipient. Rare. Ex-Straight. 2393 (JQ3) 1915-16 PARCEL POST POSTAGE DUE ON CENSORED FELDPOST COVERS (x2) ............. PH

$500

Pair of bookend stampless, censored Feldpost covers, one from 1915 and one from 1916, each assessed 10¢ postage due, each with New York Opera glass marking and each with fee paid by pair of 5¢ Parcel Post Postage Due stamps.

$250

Estimate

2400 1879-1970s POSTAGE DUE POSTAL HISTORY ACCUMULATION ............................................. PH $1000-1500

Stamp used on third day Parcel Post stamps were legal for first-class postage (July 3, 1913) on postcard from Pontiac, IL, to Normal. Stamp was not recognized as valid postage, assessed 1¢ postage due, hand-stamped and 1¢ stamp affixed. Very scarce early use, compounded by invalidation. Nice piece. Ex-Straight.

About 150 covers, as well as binder containing more than 70 bisects ‘on piece’ from Superior, Wis (where the practice was fairly common during the 1920s). Uses include some esoteric, some plebeian, but much variety with inbound from other countries along with customs assessments, unpaid, short-paid, business reply and much more. Some covers have already been rated and marked, others need more research. Few highlights include gorgeous 1920 Hungarian plea for food postcard to New York, with 2¢ due stamp, opera glass marking and ‘REFUSED’; 1¢ Parcel Post Postage Due paying fee on 1914 postcard; and what is very likely the earliest reported use of the 2¢ red brown numeral (with cert), canceled Jan 14, 1884. Much of the value will likely be found in the inbound foreign covers with dues attached. Fine overall. Ex-Straight.

2399 1879-95 LARGE NUMERALS COLLECTION .... PH $1200-1700

Somewhat specialized and partially organized collection of about 50 covers bearing Large Numeral postage dues (1¢-10¢), representing different rates and uses of all three types.

Also includes illustrated advertising covers, odd due markings, ‘tombstone’ due markings, ‘String of Pearls’ and other precancels. Strong lot worthy of further study. Fine overall. Ex-Straight.

Philatelic high point is likely 1900 registered packet, sealed with #OXF14. There’s also significant amount of research on this small office – enough to form basis of one-frame exhibit. Also includes ‘The Postal History of Coles County, Illinois’ (1830-1930), 1986 monograph covering all post offices in county, including Hites, as well as a copy of a manuscript giving the history of Hites (presumably by Straight).

When repairs were completed in 1949, Berlin was split and the Soviets cut the tube connections to East Berlin.

Covers represent Rohrpost use in East Berlin as well as the American, French and British sectors and covers carried by the Munich system.

Noted no gum 65¢ Zepp (small faults), what appears to be a mint, autographed Baby Zepp (can’t make out name), glassine with several hundred #65 (many damaged but good to hunt for shades, cancels) and many decent stamps, includes small batch of sales cards with stamps ranging from common to $400.
