**/*/O 5 Albums France - A very fine collection of classic French stamps, covering issues 1 through 60, consisting of mint stamps, varieties, color variations, special cancellations, and several items on letters. The collection was assembled several decades ago, at a time when the search for rarity took precedence over condition. It includes many interesting and sometimes unusual items. Notable items include: - No. 1: 4 canceled examples, including one pair, as well as 2 letters franked with No. 1 and No. 4. - No. 2: 5 canceled examples, including 3 uncut examples, plus one letter. - No. 3: A remarkable collection featuring numerous January dates on individual stamps or on letters, including January 1 on a restored single stamp, January 2 on a letter, January 3, January 5 in red, a strip of 5 from January 5 (damaged) on a letter, January 16 on a grid on letters, numerous color variations including gray with postmark, and a head-to-tail pair with a damaged perforated edge. - No. 6: 2 uncut specimens, one letter with a repaired stamp, one letter with a pair plus No. 1 for Valparaiso. - No. 7: an unrepaired but cut specimen. - No. 11 in a block of 8 (slightly touched perforations). - Nos. 19, 20, 22, 25, 26, 28, and 29: mint blocks of 4, with varieties on Nos. 22 and 29. - No. 22: mirror image with defects. - No. 37: mirror-image on letters with defects. - Bordeaux: several canceled copies; Nos. 45 and 46 with reconstructed block; one “Boule de Moulins” without arrival mark; “Cérès” stamps also present. Some items show repairs, traces of rust, or various defects. A few large cancellation numbers (GNO) are present. Modern envelopes are included. Appraiser: Louis Edouard Behr
