U.S.A. Mostly used. Good old fashioned collection with particular strength in the classics from imperf onwards, overwhelmingly used. Highlights include 1857/60/62 defins including various denominations to 30 cts Franklin, as well 15 cts Lincoln, 24 cts Washington and similarly 12 cts black with and without grills. Then the 1869 to 30 cts, 1870/71 with various denominations to 90 cts Perry, similarly the same 1873 to 90 cts Perry as well as 1879 again to 90 cts Perry, ending with the 90 cts Perry mauve of 1887/88, onto the small 90 cts Perry orange of 1890/1898, making an impressive range although the condition as to be expected is mixed. Then turn of the century defins to $1 Perry black, similarly to $2 Madison, etc., the commems are also strong with Columbus to 50 cts, followed by the 1898 Trans-Mississippi Omahas to $2 complete, leading onto turn of the century commems complete inc. Pan-Ams, Louisiana Purchase, Jamestown etc. Also noticed in the 20th cent a good range of Washington/Franklin heads, again with various types to $2, Indian Heads to $5, etc. Airmails with the first two sets complete, 6/16/24 cents complete and back of the book through to mint eagles high values, etc. A collection that gets better and better on each close inspection, all housed in a battered album from the good old days, viewing highly recommended.
