Bohemia

Lot 1027 Extensive, Mostly Mint Czechoslovakia Collection, 1918-1987, in black mounts in two Minkus albums. The collection is in its majority mint, with a few used here and there, with mostly NH stamps only from the mid-1960s to the end, and a mix of hinged and never hinged before then. The collection is missing items in the 1919 overprints section, but is otherwise complete, including most of the souvenir sheets, sheetlets, stamp exposition items, back of the book (saw military #s 6-14, $315), etc. We note that the Scott #s 95-108 issues include 31 different stamps) and there are imperforate issues here and there. The collection also includes Slovakia (1939 to 1944 complete, including #s 2-23 (NH, $550), B27a (NH, $50)) as well as Bohemia and Moravia (1939 to 1944 complete, including a hinged and a NH set of #s 1-19). Rounding off the lot are some covers and FDC, as well as many NH items probably destined to replace the hinged in the albums, plus some modern souvenir sheets and three specialized publications on the subject. A nice quality collection, not needing much to be complete (see our single lot section for more expensive items missing from this collection), overall fine to very fine, online scans only show a small sampling. Estimate C$500, sold for C$3,200.00 plus 17% buyer’s premium.
