In a Scott Specialty album, covers virtually every area of Revenues (except Beer, Embossed, Stamped Paper and Private Die Proprietary stamps), a large percentage of spaces filled, First Issue incl. Imperforate, Part Perforated and Perforated stamps, the Imperforate section has some very high cataloging stamps, though a few may not be genuine, while others are probably genuine but with faults, Second Issue complete to $50.00, plus an Inverted Center, Third Issue complete plus two Inverted centers, the 20th Century issues are well-filled as well, incl. Proprietary "Reds" and Stock Transfer "Greens", which are lacking only the more expensive stamps which were made into individual lots, also Narcotics, Wines, Playing Cards, Consular Service, etc., as well as complete Hunting Permit Stamps (mainly used), condition is mixed, with some faulty stamps, but also many saleable Fine-Very Fine stamps, the total catalogue value should be quite high, inspection is recommended
