/ 1850s-1970s HODGE-PODGE OF MATERIAL
FOR GERMANY & AREA ............................................ $400-600

Thousands of stamps in somewhat disorganized fashion,
although most at least mounted on old album pages, stock pages
and glassines. We note MINT Germany, East Germany, used
semi-postals of the Third Reich, Saar, Danzig, general issues
and much more, with moderate duplication to heavy with more
modern used. Likely most of the fairly significant catalog value
lies in the early German States. Generally fine and enough to
keep one out of trouble for some time. Needs examination.
