Pre-Stamp covers: 1850's and 1860's, an accumulation of between 1,000 and 1,100 covers to U.S., neatly sorted and annotated in glassines in shoe boxes, an excellent selection of forwarding agents. While the group seems to be primarily 3 correspondences, and there is obvious duplication of markings, there is a nice variety of towns of origin with the vast majority being Havana. A very fresh group worth inspection. Est. Cash Val. $7 ,500- 10,000 THE "SAMUEL ISRAEL" COLLECTION PRE-ST AMP COVERS
