FRANCE – CLASSICS TO LATE 20th CENTURY – 426466

FRANCE – CLASSICS TO LATE 20^th CENTURY – This is an impressively populated collection of close to three thousand different mint and used issues that traces French postal stamps from the very dawn of philately and into the late 1980s presented in a pristine Scott Specialty album!

The collection includes a very impressive classic period boasting such standouts like used #2, 3, 7, 11, 12, 13, 19, 22-28, 29-37, 38, 42, 47, among others! Early 20^th century portion is just as impressive showcasing high value souvenir sheets from the 1930s like 1937 Paris Philatelic Expo Sheet, early airmails, and highly comprehensive semi-postal section right from the beginning!

Very few spots left unfilled, collector even added numerous quadrille pages to accommodate extras showcasing minor varieties, and thus the lot will be appreciated by those looking for a core French collection, while at the same time this is a great resource for those seeking to advance their French portfolio in multiple subsections all along over a century long period! Gen. VERY FINE, mint og (We only photographed regular section to late 1950s, and then B-O-B)
