I am constantly buying large and small collections and have built up quite a stock of nice, clean Scandinavian country collections. If you are considering getting into a new area and would like a "starter collection" (whether small or large), let me know about your interest. Also, if you are seeking used binders or used empty albums to match what you currently have, again, let me know. Here are a few samples of collections. The listings below are included by happenstance. If you are seeking a particular country or type of material, please let me know. Payment plans are available. I guarantee your satisfaction.
Due to the low prices and variation in weight, shipping cost is additional for items in the Specials Collections listings unless otherwise mentioned. When ordering please include a note in the shopping cart comments section indicating if you prefer faster/costlier or slower/cheaper delivery so that I may more quickly quote the shipping costs and options for you.
Each item is one of a kind; orders will be filled in order of receipt. Payment by MasterCard or Visa suggested, but I will hold items for 10 days pending receipt of check if you prefer.
Norway Collection 1856-1969: Collection of about 450 different plus a few duplicates, mint and used, mounted in "Norge" Norwegian album (published by Dreyer in Stavanger) in blue binder with Norway #1 pictured on cover. Majority used but includes some mint sets. Condition is virtually all F-VF or better with much VF. Some of the mint may be lightly stuck down but all can be removed with care. Recent Scott retail totals $882!
Norway Collection 1872-1965: About 390 different, mint and used, on Scott Specialty 2-post pages which run to 1965. Contents range from a few better posthorns with slight faults to many mint commemorative sets of the 1940s-60s. Condition varies but overall generally F-VF or better. Scott 2008 retail will exceed $475.

Norway Used Collection 1856-1976: Over 600 different used, neatly mounted on Minkus pages. Strong range of 19th Century including #3-5, 8-18, 20-4, 26-32, etc. Later issues include a strong range of commemoratives and some useful back-of-book. Except typical scattered minor faults in the early issues with some sound, all presentable, and overall much better than usual for this time period. The 20th Century is sound and F-VF or better with much VF. Scott 2008 retail totals over $1600, so this should be an excellent value for filling many spaces at a significant savings!

Includes many complete commemorative sets and some better values from the 1962-68 regular issues. Condition throughout is sound and VF. My retail price for this same group as hinged singles totals $488, so as a group this collection affords a significant savings!

Norwegian Christmas Seal Collection 1906-1958 Mint.
Norwegian Christmas Seal Collection 1906-1958. The complete set of 54 seals (1957 has two designs), from the first issue, all Mint. The vast majority are VF. Very fresh and neatly presented on album pages; most appear to have light (peelable) first hinges. Usually such collections have "clunkers" in them, but this collection is nice! Individual retail totals over $185! [233293] Default shipping.
Norway Mail Bag 1986: High quality burlap-colored brown heavy fabric (but much finer and smoother than burlap), measuring approximately 3 feet high by 2 feet wide. Three sets of vertical red-white-blue-white-red strips and with a POST 1986 NORGE NORVEGE (and crown and posthorn) imprint in black. Extremely good condition with only minimal wear. Strong color and imprint. Would probably benefit from a gentle cleaning in cold water and cool air drying, but no defects that detract from its TERRIFIC DISPLAY APPEARANCE. This would make a SUPER WALL HANGING and a great holiday present. (Up to 4 available.) (Old #30072)
