Sweden, Ultimate Comprehensive Mint Collection, 1855-2011, in three Stender albums with all stamps in black mounts, one of the best mint collections of Sweden we have seen in some time with some exceptional centering on the early material. Just a few stray used of shade varieties, otherwise all mint and complete from 1924 on. Some of the better items: #LX1-2, 2, 6-12 (8& 12 with certs), 13-16, 17, 19, 20 (also the blue-gray variety with cert (Facit #20b)), 22, 25-27, 28-36, 38, 40-49, 52-65, 66, 67-73, 77-94, 145-163, 164-166, 194-196, 197-212, 213-228, 229, B11, B12-21, J1-11, J12-22, O1-10 (o9 with cert), O8a, O12-25, and many more like the semi-official airmail from 1912 (Facit #HF1), inverted surcharges on the first set of airmails (C1a-3a), as well as on B26, B28, B30. A couple of incorrect surcharges as footnoted in Scott such as the 12ö + 8ö on B2 (Facit # 127 vI) and the 7ö+3ö on B9 (Facit #134v3). Also, much of this collection is in duplicate, as complete panes also have accompanying singles/pairs and many other extras as both ordinary & phosphorus paper, plate varieties, an excellent selection of military reply stamps, test booklets, tourist stamps, Frames, etc., generally Fine to Very Fine., ex-Windsor. Estimate $7,500 - 10,000.
