Cherrystone Auctions United States & Worldwide Stamps
We are pleased to present our November 6-7 sale of Rare Stamps and Postal History of the World.
You are invited to browse through this select offering of 1627 lots representing virtually every area of International Philately.
The United States section ranges from Special Printings to better cacheted FDCs. Foreign Countries include Western Europe, with Austria, France and Colonies, and specialized German Area (with excellent Locals and Occupation Issues). Great Britain and British Commonwealth are also well represented. In addition, there are numerous rarities from South America, Asia, including China and Japan, Eastern Europe with Poland (highlighted by two examples of 10kr Krakow) and Russia, including the scarce unused 1932 souvenir sheet bearing a three line inscription (one of only 25 printed). As always there are over 130 large lots and collections, balances of estates and much more.
Please note this is a public auction taking place live and over the internet - Wednesday and Thursday at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. each day.
All lots are on view November 4-5, or by appointment at our galleries during normal business hours.
