Donation Lots

go directly to the Meter Stamp Society.
| #73 |
More than 60 lbs of U.S. meters and literature. One man's collection formed in
mid-20th century and sitting dormant for the past 40 years. A great run of material
including a large number of better topical and illustrated slogans, many in duplicate.
Mostly covers but some strips, tapes and cuts as well. Lots of postal history, adverts,
POs, dues, some permits. The literature includes early catalogs, monographs, and a run
of Meter Slogan Associates Bulletins from 1939 to 1943. Condition is variable but
generally good to fine. Here is several weeks worth of sorting and cataloging --
an ideal purchase for the U.S. collector.
| $350.00 |
| #74 |
Carton of approximately 15 lbs of foreign meters (no U.S.), mostly covers but some
strips and tapes included. Huge range of countries with material from every continent
but heaviest in Europe and Canada. Range of dates is 1920s to 1950s with few later.
Plenty of interesting material, ad covers, war, censored, plus various odds'n'ends.
Includes the Barfoot-Simon catalog and a run of the British Meter Stamp Study Group
Bulletins from 1951 to 1958. Condition is variable but generally good to average.
This will be a wonderful lot for a world meter stamp collector or part time dealer
who can devote many days to sorting and cataloging.
