Davo France Album (Volume II binder) - Pages 1961-1992: Attractive blue CLOTH-covered 2-post album, by Davo, titled in gold "FRANCE" (and "II" on the spine), with colorful coat of arms on front and spine. This cloth-covered binder is from 1980s or early 1990s. The binder is used and serviceable -- extremely useful if you already have some like it. The pages are heavily used with black mounts. I do not know if you will want the pages included or not (they do not have to be shipped if you do not want them). The price is really only for the binder itself. I know somebody will find it useful.

Harris Liberty U.S. Stamp Album Binder: Traditional 2.25-inch 2-post Harris Liberty United States singles album BINDER. In fairly good used condition: front, back, spine, and interior all look gently used -- certainly no worse than what is probably currently in your collection. This is very useful as an expansion binder. Collectors are always looking for additional Liberty binders to contain their growing collection -- these are in demand! [Important: From a mailing cost perspective, just based on size, please assume this will require a USPS Medium Flat Rate Priority Mail Box which is $18 with handling, but quite a bit of other stuff might also fit in that flat-rate box if you want to add to your order.]

Harris Liberty U.S. Plate Blocks Album 1901-1975: Traditional 3-inch 2-post Harris Liberty United States PLATE BLOCKS ALBUM, complete with pages 1901-1975. In excellent, gently-used condition: The binder front, back, spine, and interior all look very gently used (virtually new looking). The pages are very gently used; this is a 1977 edition and thus the pages are no longer bright white, but it is as nice as one can expect from a traditional edition. There had been a few dozen plate blocks in it in mounts that have been removed; there is very minor mount residue. Once new mounts have been put in, there will be no sign of that previous use. Collectors are also always looking for additional Liberty binders (and replacement pages) to contain their growing collection -- these are in demand! [Important: From a mailing cost perspective, just based on size, please assume this will require a USPS Medium Flat Rate Priority Mail Box which is $18 with handling, but a little bit of other stuff might also fit in that flat-rate box if you want to add to your order.]

Lighthouse French Southern and Antarctic Territories (FSAT) Album Pages 1948-1986: Very gently used Lighthouse FSAT album pages (made without mounts installed) WITH BLACK MOUNTS (Showgard style, split-back) neatly installed by the previous owner Complete set from the start in 1955 (1948) through 1986. Excellent condition, clean, no markings, etc. These pages will fit in any style of Lighthouse stamp album (13-ring, post, or springback). Lighthouse sells their with-factory-installed (clear) mounts version for the years 1948-1989 at $204.95 (new). (Their website does not list a price for without-mounts.) If you want them, you would have to obtain the pages for 1987-1989 as a special order from Lighthouse, but then 1990-onward are available as standard products from Lighthouse. This set of pages is an especially great deal if you a) prefer black mounts and/or b) you are only interested in the stamp issues before 1987.

Linns Blank 3-Ring Pages, Quadrilled, WHITE, Lot of 19 pages: A Linns product from well back in the day, but new old stock and still as good as such things get. 8.5 x 11 inch pages, punched for standard 3-ring. I do not know if they had more than one weight / thickness, but these seem to be very heavy weight. Off-white / cream colored with light gray quadrille with centering marks. This group does not have the brand printed in the margin, but they were packaged the same and otherwise perfectly match a black version that did have Linns branding on it. If you have some of these in your collection, I am sure you will want more. Brand new condition. LOT OF 19 PAGES.

I do not know if they had more than one weight / thickness, but these seem to be very heavy weight, certainly heavier than standard black "construction paper". Intense black paper with white quadrille with centering marks. Note: This particular type of paper is probably not "archival". While they look great, I suggest using mounts to put stamps on the pages; I would not hinge stamps directly to this type of paper. If you have some of these in your collection, I am sure you will want more. Brand new condition. GROUPS OF 10 PAGES (multiple groups available).

Probably from the 1960s, but still nice "new old stock" and still as good as such things get. 8.5 x 11 inch pages, punched for standard 3-ring. I do not know if they had more than one weight / thickness, but these seem to be heavy weight. Off-white / cream colored with very light gray quadrille.

Minkus "All American" Stamp Album 2-Post Binder: The red All American album 2.5 inch, 2-post binder (only the binder, no pages) in like-new condition.

Gold embossed "BRITISH ASIA / PART TWO" on the front and "BRITISH ASIA / MINKUS PUBLICATIONS" on the spine. Anybody who uses Minkus regional or single-country albums will find this useful for expansion space -- perhaps wrap the binder with a dust cover of your own making to label it how you wish. Excellent, used condition; still very strong. This binder style seems to be seldom offered, but I know that thousands of collectors still have albums utilizing this binder style.

Minkus MASTER GLOBAL 2-Post, 4-Inch ROUNDED SPINE Binder: Traditional, genuine dark blue binder with red and gold spine decoration, labeled "THE MASTER GLOBAL STAMP ALBUM MINKUS PUBLICATIONS". This is NOT labeled as to a specific volume number. This measures about 4.25 inches wide, but I believe this is the same as what was also described as 4 inches. This is the older format with the rounded spine (ALL the Minkus Global Master or Supreme pages fit perfectly fine in either binder format). Virtually every owner of a set of these Minkus albums always needs more expansion room. In typical USED condition with SPINE HINGE WEAR, SLIGHT WEAKNESS, DULL GOLD DECORATION, and overall wear. This was still working fine, holding a collection, until a few days ago. That being said, please do NOT order this if you are "very fussy" about appearance. New examples of the current (rectangular spine) style are available online at around $47-49, but used examples of either style can be hard to find because everybody needs them! This has many more years of service to give.

Scott 2-Post AND 3-ring Plastic Page Protectors - Gently Used: Plastic page protectors for Scott 2-post and 3-ring pages (Specialty, National, etc.). Open at top and left/binding edges for easy insertion of the pages (but page can only be inserted or removed when protector is NOT in binder -- pages cannot fall out when in binder). Virtually crystal clear, non-glare (very important) surface. These are very high quality protectors, unlike some that I have seen on the market. If you use Scott Specialty or National pages and have pages you wish to specially protect, these are the answer! These are very gently used pages that have been removed from a collection. Once you put in your pages in them I doubt you will be able to see any evidence of previous use! OFFERED IN GROUPS OF 10 PROTECTORS.

Scott U.S. National Album through 1976 in Two Volumes (Scott Specialty 1.75-inch 3-Ring), With Some Stamps: A very gently used, clean and neat, Scott U.S. National Album 1847-1976, including a few hundred stamps. The pages appear to be complete (but are offered as is) through 1976. The pages are for Definitives, Commemoratives, Airmail, Postage Due, Special Delivery, Parcel Post, etc., Officials, and Periodicals. The CSA page is present, but has some marks on the back of it. This is offered as an album, with the stamps as a "remainder" collection -- THE STAMPS ARE FREE with the album AND HAVE NOT INCREASED THE PRICE. The few hundred stamps consist of only scattered stamps before 1920, then increasing in quantity, dropping off again after 1965. The stamps most or all in Used Condition, all in the regular postage and airmail sections. Where stamps are, or were, in the album, there are black Showgard-style (split back) mounts. The pages are very gently used. Contained in two 1.75-inch 3-ring genuine "Scott Specialty" binders (labeled as such, not labeled as National), which are in beautiful like-new condition. The Scott new retail PER BINDER is $46.99 EACH (available through AmosAdvantage.com for $37.59 EACH.) The pages in this set (1847-1976) coincide exactly with Parts 1 and 2 offered by Scott -- thus you can obtain the further 1977-onward parts from Scott (AmosAdvantage.com) if you wish to do so. The PAGES-ONLY BOTH PARTS new list price from Scott total $155.44 ($132.12 from AmosAdvantage.com). The total comparable new price is $207.30 for exactly the same binders and pages. As long as the presence of some black stamp mounts is acceptable to you (a lot of my clients put in their own) this could be the perfect album for you. Upgrade your album for a very low price!

Stanley Gibbons Oriel Album: Beautiful volume of the Stanley Gibbons "The Oriel Album" from the Golden Age of British stamp album making. This album, the only one found in an estate we purchased, is numbered "31" -- presumably from an important collection containing many such albums. The pages in the album were intended to be written up by hand; this is not a pre-printed type of album. This offer is of the BINDER plus a couple dozen older pages that are included at no additional cost. The pages are "FG" (Frank Godden) series pages. When I checked a couple years ago, I determined that new pages of this style, to fit this album, were still be available (though costing multiple dollars each) from Stanley Gibbons and/or other purveyors of fine British stamp albums. However, today I was not able to find them but I just did a superficial search. I would NOT recommend using these particular older pages in the binder unless you are trying to match color shade with pages of similar age. The pages were originally off-white but with age are now somewhat yellowed. If I had to guess, I would estimate that the binder and pages date from around 1930. The main binder covering is deep blue, with black leather (?) corners and matching black leather (?) quarter-spine, all with gold trim and gold spine embossing. All the gold elements are quite bright -- I suspect that they are made with real gold leaf, thus it does not tarnish. The binder end sheets are still present and match the inside-covers of the binder with gorgeous, real marbling. The binder is the Oriel two-post system. The quality of the binder is excellent -- I hope I look that good at that age. Accompanied by a properly fitting (dark green) slip case, likely also original. Though the SG website indicates it is not available, the posted (now obsolete I am sure) price for a new binder with 25 pages is in the range of $400! This is certainly a classic! Only recommended for clients who fully understand what this item is and have researched their options for obtaining more pages, etc. [If you are not interested in this album, but if you know of a source for new pages, please share that information with me so that I may pass it on to other clients.]

White Ace U.S. COMMEMORATIVE SINGLES 1950//1985 PAGES ONLY: This appears to be a substantially complete group of pages for the 1950-1985 commemorative singles for pages #59-233. There do appear to be a few pages missing (at least going by page numbers), but I do not know if some similar-repeating pages were not included or if there are actually pages (stamps) missing. I spotted a couple pages with pencil-written catalog numbers, but otherwise, these appear to be new pages -- there is no indication that I can see of stamps ever having been put on them. The pages basically appear to be in like-new condition and purchased all at the same time, thus the paper all matches. Based on the White Ace publisher listings http://store.allensinc.com this appears to be parts 3-5 (1950-1986) missing only 1986. Their net price for those three parts (including 1986) is $163. You can order the 1986 supplement set from the publisher (it is Commemorative Singles "O"). Even if this is not a totally complete set (see above), surely these pages would be very useful for upgrading damaged pages or freshening up pages. Offered at a tremendous discount.

FREE: USPS Brown 23-Ring BINDER (American Commemorative Collections): FREE! This is an official United States Postal Service 23-ring binder that was offered to house Commemorative Panels and Souvenir Pages. Over the years the gold-foil naming/stamping on the spine and front varied a little as did the finish surface of the binder, but they have always been a slightly padded brown binder with gold foil stamping on the spine and front. They hold 9.75 x 11.5 inch (246 x 292 mm) pages. They are very useful for storing the intended items, as well as souvenir cards, large covers, documents, stocks and bonds, and other large items if you have a means to obtain (or punch/drill) some sort of pages to fit the binder. Gently used and will include sheet lifters to the extent I have them available. Only shipped within the U.S. This is FREE -- order as many as you like. You only pay for shipping, which varies by weight and destination (inquire for shipping cost, for your desired quantity and destination, if you wish to know in advance). [To order, click on BuyIt button... then click on shopping cart icon, go to cart, and CHANGE THE QUANTITY to be the quantity you would like and then press the recalculate button. Then complete the shopping cart checkout process. We will inform you by email of the total shipping cost before we send the binders to you.]

U.S. Year Sets / Year Folders USPS Maroon Magazine-Rack-Style BINDER (American Mint Set Collections): An official United States Postal Service magazine-rack style maroon binder that was offered to house Year Sets and Year Folders. The "binding mechanism" consists of flexible, but heavy "wires" that flex out to disengage; you put the wire in the center of the folder (or magazine) and then you pop the wire back into the holders at each end. It allows the completely free viewing of the folder (or magazine) and also allows the item to be removed or moved around in the binder. Back in the day, this was a common type of binding mechanisms containing magazines at doctors offices, but I have never seen it used for an album like this (but something somewhat similar is used for the flip-style FDC albums). Overall binder width is 3 inches and holds about 2.5 inches of contents; 9.75 x 12 inch outer dimensions. Attractive maroon color with gold USPS imprinting. This is the only example I have seen in 50 years; they must not have been available for long (but it had worked perfectly for the U.S. year set folders that I took out of it). This binder would also be great for just about any type of 8.5 x 11 inch (or smaller) philatelic journals or any other types of folders or thin booklets or magazines.

Canada 1851-2011 Album Pages: Group of 8.5 x 11 inch 3-hole-punched pages on standard "20 pound" white paper. These are pages that were downloaded / printed from the Internet. They look like they are "Steiner" pages, but I cannot be 100% sure of that. Whether or not they are Steiner pages, if you want to expand these or replace some of these (or if some are missing), you can get more (and print them out yourself) from https://www.stampalbums.com . This group consists of Canada 1851-2011 definitive and commemorative stamps -- NOT including back-of-book (there are some pages for OHMS Official perfins, but NO Airs, NO Dues, NO Special Delivery, etc.). [Those could be obtained from Steiner if desired.] There might be a few bent corners (but they look good to me), but see my note above about replacing pages. These pages are from a collector who printed them out for his personal use -- they look to be mostly or completely unused. The advantage of buying this group of pages (instead of buying a subscription from Steiner) is that this is ready-made and does not require you to print them out. The printing is high-quality LASER printing, NOT cheap ink-jet printing. This is about a 2-INCH STACK OF PAGES! I am NOT guaranteeing that this page set is complete, but it looks okay. [General comments: 1) If you do ever download and print album pages from the Internet, rather than printing cheap-looking pages on an ink-jet printer (which is what most individuals will have), take them somewhere to have them laser printed; either to your workplace or to an office supplies store, etc. 2) Laser-printed pages must NEVER be put in direct contact with plastic binders (always have a few blank pages at each end of the group of printed pages. 3) Ink-jet-printed pages can never be allowed to get damp; if spilled on, the ink can run. Also, some ink-jet inks will migrate over the years and become very unattractive. 4) It is much better to print on better quality paper. Always check (on the paper manufacturers website) that the particular paper is acid-free AND buffered. 5) It is much better to print on heavier paper, such as 24 pound (24#) paper instead of normal 20 pound copier paper -- you will very much appreciate the difference. 6) Always ONLY print single-sided. 7) I recommend controlling the specific brand and type of paper used and being sure it is a paper of which you will be able to buy more in a few years. This usually means buying a major name brand, and keeping the label information, and having the print shop use your customer-supplied paper.]

Gibraltar Album Pages: Set of album pages for 2000-2010, plus some pages 1995-1999, prepared by Mystic. 8.5 x 11 inch 3-hole-punched pages on heavier (probably 24 pound), off-white paper. The 2000-2010 pages, except for 2002-2003, have clear open-3-sides mounts on the pages. That saves a lot of time and money. You can add the rest of the mounts by either using Hawid-brand mounts (which are open on three sides) OR using Showgard / Scott / Prinz mounts that are MORE THAN double the size needed and cut them in half to create your own mounts that are open on three sides -- or you can just use Showgard mounts in their natural split-back form. This is a nice start toward album pages for Gibraltar. Excellent quality, except for one set of stamps that is included (oddly stuck down) and a couple mounts that were install upside down. Offered at a very low price; only a tiny fraction of the original cost to make these pages!

Great Britain 1840-2011 Album Pages: Group of 8.5 x 11 inch 3-hole-punched pages on standard "20 pound" white paper. These are pages that were downloaded / printed from the Internet. They look like they are "Steiner" pages, but I cannot be 100% sure of that. Whether or not they are Steiner pages, if you want to expand these or replace some of these (or if some are missing), you can get more (and print them out yourself) from https://www.stampalbums.com . This group consists of Great Britain 1840-2011 definitive and commemorative stamps -- NOT including back-of-book (NO Dues, NO Offices, etc.). [Those could be obtained from Steiner if desired.] There are a few bent corners, but see my note above about replacing pages. These pages are from a collector who printed them out for his personal use -- they look to be mostly or completely unused BUT THERE ARE FEW STAMPS NEATLY MOUNTED IN A COUPLE AREAS. The white paper was of two different brands. The advantage of buying this group of pages (instead of buying a subscription from Steiner) is that this is ready-made and does not require you to print them out. The printing is high-quality LASER printing, NOT cheap ink-jet printing. This is about a 1.5-INCH STACK OF PAGES! I am NOT guaranteeing that this page set is complete, but it looks okay. [General comments: 1) If you do ever download and print album pages from the Internet, rather than printing cheap-looking pages on an ink-jet printer (which is what most individuals will have), take them somewhere to have them laser printed; either to your workplace or to an office supplies store, etc. 2) Laser-printed pages must NEVER be put in direct contact with plastic binders (always have a few blank pages at each end of the group of printed pages. 3) Ink-jet-printed pages can never be allowed to get damp; if spilled on, the ink can run. Also, some ink-jet inks will migrate over the years and become very unattractive. 4) It is much better to print on better quality paper. Always check (on the paper manufacturers website) that the particular paper is acid-free AND buffered. 5) It is much better to print on heavier paper, such as 24 pound (24#) paper instead of normal 20 pound copier paper -- you will very much appreciate the difference. 6) Always ONLY print single-sided. 7) I recommend controlling the specific brand and type of paper used and being sure it is a paper of which you will be able to buy more in a few years. This usually means buying a major name brand, and keeping the label information, and having the print shop use your customer-supplied paper.]
