There were 7 pages all up.
Just one of the 19 stamps was imaged for the catalogue.
Has anyone seen any of the pages that were sold?

After his passing, the business was continued by his son-in-law, Sam Seigal.
Absolutely top person to deal with, and he often still has items from the old days that many other dealers do not.
Nice to hear from you, Sherro.

Contributions with further sheet numbers, images and provenance welcome.

Hopefuy Bill can provide me with a better quality scan, please.

Doug.
