    1871/2000: Collection consisting of 3 printed Lighthouse Albums 1871/1970ca.. The classic period is in mixed condition, with genuine and questionable stamps. From about ca. 1880 stamps often duplicated with various cancellations or different perforations predominately used. From ca. 1896 on also with unused examples. In the following years (from about 1913 on) the unused material prevails, with many better stamps, sets and souvenir sheets. There is a quite high catalogue value. Further, there are two additional albums for sheets, that contain more recent stamps, a few bank notes and some stamp duplication +  a box with even more duplication, modern covers and few Korea. And lastly there are three stamp catalogues issued from 2000 to 2014. This interesting holding with the aspect of a working collection is ideal for further development!
