Old lot of world stamps, assorted sets in glassine envelopes, vintage collection

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of a heterogeneous collection of world postage stamps, visible in bulk in a cardboard box. Several transparent sleeves or envelopes, some marked "POSTA ROMANA," contain illustrated thematic series, mainly from various countries. The visible stamps feature diverse illustrations: artworks, animals, birds, historical scenes, and colorful motifs, showcasing significant geographical and thematic diversity.

The stamps are organized in presentation sleeves or mounted on cardboard sheets, allowing for arrangement by sets or series. Some are protected by plastic films, while others are inserted into paper envelopes of various colors (beige, black, yellow, red). Among the visible items, several blocks appear to be from Romania, with artistic iconography and texts printed in Latin and Arabic characters. Isolated stamps are also discernible, notably one with a bird on a green background (face value "3" in the upper right corner), and others with an animal theme.

The overall condition of the stamps, sleeves, and sheets appears generally good, although some envelope edges are slightly creased or show signs of wear. The exact contents are not exhaustively listed; only the top surface of the lot and the first few sheets are visible in the photo. No bound albums are present; the lot is offered as presented, in bulk and sleeves.

This lot is intended for anyone seeking a varied assortment of international stamps, with a visible predominance of thematic series and illustrated blocks from different periods. The presentation in sleeves allows for future sorting or personalized organization.

Did you know? "Posta Romana" stamps are issued by the Romanian postal administration, famous for its artistic thematic series since the 1960s. The country has long produced commemorative blocks illustrating museum artworks, historical figures, or animals, highly valued for the quality of their printing and the diversity of their subjects.
