U.S. Postal Stationery Collections, Balance of the Comprehensive Thomas W. Flattery Cut Square and Entire Collection, great many hundreds of virtually all mint regular issue, commemorative, air mail and official cut squares and several hundred mostly mint entires mounted in four Scott albums, plus many loose between the pages, this is a very comprehensive as well as specialized collection, with not only the straightforward mint cut squares, of which a plethora of $100.00 to $500.00 or more cat. value items remain, but also much duplication, most early reprints, nearly all the 1897 Universal Postal Congress overprint cut squares, 1907-16 Oval Dies and 1915-22 Circular Dies collected by die type on Thorp pages, as well as the corresponding 1920-25 surcharges, precancels by town, errors of color, double impressions, modern errors, strong air mails incl. die and border types and good officials, all with issues to 2002 well represented, the overall quality is excellent, while there are a very few of the earliest issues with a small fault, overwhelming majority are nice fresh very fine or extremely fine cut squares and entires, with most cut squares being full corners. Binders have mildew issues but pages are fine, certainly one of the nicest and most valuable postal stationery collection balances we have had the pleasure to offer.
2010 Scott approximately $50,000. Realized $24,000 in 2010 auction .
Estimate $8,000-10,000.
