Collections, Stocks and Accumulations #654

Belgium, Mint and Used Collection, 1849-1964.An outstanding, highly complete collection in a Ka-Be album with useful, very nice 19th century duplication; highlights include (mint unless noted) 5fr pale brown #39a with roller cancel, 1919 "Helmut" set complete, 1932 Mercier & 1933 Orval Madonna complete VLH, etc.; 20th century is probably 50/50 mint/used with many nice used Semi-Postals and with the Parcel Posts being just about all used; condition is virtually all clean and F-VF with the mint being NH beginning in the late '50s, but also including many better NH sets prior to that, like B468-476, B485-494, B515-520 & B605a. A really wonderful collection.
