Some new classics recently aquired.

Here are some classics I just got thanks to a very kind soul on here and a good deal! They are-
24, 135, 211, 215, 214, 220, 227, 228, 259, 260, 238, 239, 240, 289, 617, 618

 

very nice indeed

 

All in their new home...

 

I do like these old stamps

 

very nice additions jay! i'm jealous of your 239 and 240. i still need those!

 

Ahh don't be jealous swish, you have plenty of stuff that I would love to have so that makes us even! I must admit though, I never thought I'd come that close to completing the set (minus the dollar values of course).

 

I have more bureau issues too but unsure of what order the all go in. Got 2 different color blue & brown 5¢ Grants and an orange 50¢ Jefferson and a brown Daniel Webster that I'm thinking is a 282C and a few green ones too which may or may not be #258 definitely not 226 no triangles in upper right or left frame corners... but there must be at least 2 different bureau sets is all I can figure?

 

OKAY- I believe I found the answer to my bureau 5¢ blue vs. brown Garfield quandary. Check this out-


Also here is my ratty looking Banknote collection arrangement - lol

Also, to add to the original topic- here are the rest of my new additions in their new spots for your viewing enjoyment!
I am aware that these images are compressed a lot but they look sharp right?

 

Very nice sheets.
I once had a whole bunch of the blue #24's (well my dad), several blocks of 4 and 6, he sold them at an action but it was a set I'll never forget.

I also dig the 2nd picture up, 4th row from the bottom. I think they were Louisiana purchase ones, id I remember right, the colorful ones with the black picture in the middle. I have a couple of those and always thought they looked sharp.

 

Thank you those are Scott #294-299 Pan American Exposition stamps Watermarked & perf 12. Made to celebrate the technology of the era. Earliest known usage is May 1St 1901 (05/01/01)

 

The Louisiana Purchase commemorative issues are at the top of last page.

 

Nice looking stamps Jeff, keep up the good work....

 

Why Thank you kacyds! I'm slowly getting to about where I wanna be in my collection. I want to wrap up the post 40's material and exclusively focus on the early classics. I got a good start I would say?

 

You all got me going now, I need to finish cataloging my world collection (Australia) and get to my USA ones, but I need to get to my USSR, and Cuba and my, wait their is only one of me, Boy such problems. Time to get back to work. Those are some real great looking stamps you have there Jay, really nice.

 

Thank you Tom! That's a compliment from the both of you! Cheers! in my best subliminal voice: (~Tom D Go and finish your U.S. collection~)

 

yes sir

 

The older the stamps the best!
I love those classic stamps. Very nice.

 

Thank you zararina! I have a little work to do on them yet getting better centered copies and undamaged ones (like the badly re-perforated 1$ Farragut in the Series 1902 set.) It'll be fun!
