Stamp Box Auction in France
An auction of a collection of stamp boxes will close on Friday, 20 November 2020.
The auction is in Paris and is on-line only. The first part is of a collection of knives; the stamp boxes begin at Lot 90 and there are more than 70 lots. Most lots consist of more than one box and so, overall, there are a substantial number in the auction. The English version of the catalogue contains some odd (computer?) translations but collectors will be able to understand what is on offer.
The catalogue can be seen here.
