Tim Choy Stamp Collection

Content Description

Box 1: Three albums of postage stamps (mostly cancelled). Box 2: one folder of commemorative stamp sheets and envelopes (mostly good to mint condition), and one folder of loose stamps (mostly cancelled) and stamped envelopes mostly with "first day cover" cancellations. Several thousand stamps are included, ranging from fair to mint condition. The stamps are from countries worldwide such as Korea and China, the United States (with an emphasis on stamps related to Hawaii), Hong Kong, Tonga, the Philippines, and dozens of other countries. One of the albums dates from approximately 1953 and contains stamps from before that date, including numerous stamps from Nazi Germany, British Commonwealth countries and colonies.
