CONDITION: This lot consists of one album page. There are 2 additional images of the page, plus 15 close up images of selected items. Please note that there is no rear image of Mi 181 II because of the way it has been hinged.
Used. Some stamps will have wrinkles, and possibly the odd crease, and some look rather scruffy; but this may well be a good indication of genuine postal use. It is difficult to judge overall condition without removing the stamps from the page and soaking off hinge remains. I think you should expect a few faults, but once these stamps have been cleaned up a bit, they might be better than you expect. I believe that there are some rarer overprint varieties here.
The previous owner has identified the stamps using Yvert (where appropriate) and Michel catalogue references.
Pages may be cut for International mailing. Items are usually listed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I am currently selling a large specialised collection of Memel featuring both French and Lithuanian occupation issues; including mint, used, and covers. It was formed in the U.K. by a very knowledgeable philatelist and contains many types and varieties; Some are are featured in the Michel specialised catalogue. Further varieties are identified where the previous owner seems to be making a case that some are re-occurring (constant) varieties, and should be listed by Michel in the future. There is an English version of "Michel Specialized" available, which includes the stamps of Memel.
