Announcing Our Autumn 2018 Auction Schedule
The Elmer Campbell Collection of Germany and German Areas
A lifelong Ohio native, Mr. Elmer Campbell was a Vietnam Special Forces veteran with a lifelong interest in military history. Although he started out by collecting worldwide classic issues, he quickly came to specialize in Germany and its related areas.
What is remarkable about the Elmer Campbell is the attention to detail that was paid with regard to watermarks, shades, and other varieties. This method of collecting is rare in America, and speaks to his in-depth knowledge and enthusiasm for German philately.
