JAPAN – 424436

JAPAN – Very nice mostly mint collection of roughly one thousand different issues combining 19^th century gems with dozens of mint souvenir and miniature sheets from the mid-20^th century as the collection runs well into the 1980s, presented in a Minkus album. The collection includes a particularly solid first half of the 20^th century boasting numerous mint better sets like mint #148-151, 155-158, 167-170, 177-178, 194-197, 198-201, 214-217, 218-221, 223-226, 230-233, 351-361, 397-400, 422, 450-453, 479, 501-504, quite a good coverage of the National Parks issues (mostly singles), and a  plethora of New Year lottery sheets from the midcentury! Gen. VERY FINE, mint og, few NH (We photographed roughly half of the book running to 1960s)
