Finland. Mostly used. Important stamp and postal history collection, primarily 19th/early 20th century. Well written up, philatelically and historically with maps, etc. Beginning with various local post imperfs, followed by the 1860 with 25 used serpentines from 10 kop to 1 mk and unused 8, 10 and 20 pen, all in various conditions, then a combination of 5 kop postal stationery arms and 10 kop envelope 1856, followed by further coat of arms postal stationery, leading on to extensive fancy cancels, 19th century different colours, grills, rhomboids, starshapes with at least 35 examples. Then further 1885 types through 1889/95 with over 100 of these used, again with a wide array of cancels, straightlines, numerals, etc, all methodically collected to mark values. Further postal stationery studies used with much from the 1880s. Just noticed, a beautiful superb cover from Kervo to Helsinki with 20 pen orange blue concentric circle, sheet marginal, as well as interesting incoming mail with dozens of postal history items to research inc reply paids, receiving and return receipts, etc. A collection with much substance.
