Belgium 1895/1973 - Belgium 1965–1973: Collection of...

Well-presented collection of Belgian issue folders from the Belgian Post, collected in a ring binder. The collection begins with issues from late 1965 and runs up to and including folder no. 23/1973. The folders contain historical explanations and illustrations for the issues, with the accompanying original stamps in protective strips. According to the owner, the stamps are unused, with intact original gum and without hinges. Among the depicted subjects are Europe/CEPT, culture, historical figures, sport, flowers, birds, and solidarity issues. Also some blocks and other philatelic issues are visible. The ring binder and the accompanying folders and stamps are offered together as one lot. The photos show the presentation and the condition of the photographed items. Signs of aging on folders and the album may be present. Belgian collection on pre-printed Schaubek album pages. The lot consists mainly of railway and parcel stamps, supplemented with stamps with overprints such as the railway symbol B and postage stamps (timbres-taxe). The collection includes older numeral- and coat-of-arms types, locomotives, railway infrastructure, stations and other railway motifs. On several stamps, station names and rectangular railway cancellations are visible. Also some pairs and overlapping copies are present. The majority of the stamps are cancelled. Some specimens show no clear postmark in the photo; the gum and any hinge remnants have not been checked. No mint condition is guaranteed. The collection is not complete: on several sheets there are empty spots visible. The stamps are largely in black protective strips; some lie directly on the album pages. The photos show the contents and are part of the description.
