Roosevelt album set with values to the 90c mounted on original gray cardboard, dollar values removed from backing, couple small faults, very fine appearance (Scott $1,600)
Roosevelt album proofs affixed to original gray cardboard backing, very fine and choice (Scott $1,100)
complete set of 11, without gum as issued, small faults throughout including thins and pulled perfs, the most severe issue being the fact that the 90c stamp has had nearly all of its perforations removed, 10c natural straightedge at right, despite all this most stamps appear fine, making this an affordable way to acquire a complete set of War Department specimens, most of which were sold in quantities ranging from 104 to 119 (Scott $12,760)

mixture of mint/unused and used including Agriculture (O1-9), Executive (O10-14), Interior (O15-24), Justice less the 24c and 90c (O25-31, O33), Navy (O35-45), Post Office (O47-56), State to the 90c (O57-67), Treasury (O72-82), and War (O83-93), plus nice selection of 1879 American Bank Note issues, some regummed and reperforated stamps to be expected, mixed condition but many fine to very fine, an attractive and nearly comprehensive group ideal for continuation or resale
