RHODESIA STAMP COLLECTIONS FOR SALE
Even if you have no interest in buying this collection at this time –
it is a MUST LOOK AT COLLECTION.
I have a very special, very unique, very interesting, one of a kind
collection of RHODESIA single stamps, multiple stamps (from pairs to a
sheet of 36) and booklets that are all mint, never hinged.
This collection was created by Mrs. W. Joffe of Johannesburg, South
Africa. I have been told that before she passed away, she was a world
famous philatelic expert in Rhodesia and South Africa stamps.
Mrs. Joffe first exhibited her collection on December 9, 1980 at the
Philatelic Society of Johannesburg. I have been told that she had
subsequent private and public exhibitions of her collection in South
Africa, Rhodesia, United Kingdom, Australia and the United States.
The collection consists of one hundred and sixty-three (163) album
pages of single stamps, plate blocks, large multiples, panes and
booklets. The collection is based upon flaws, varieties, color changes,
imprint blocks & cylinder blocks with offset, overprints, etc. It must
be viewed in it’s entirety to understand the intricacy of the
collection.
I have scanned all of the pages and they can be viewed by going to the
below URL:

After getting to this web site, place your curser on “my
shots/albums” and left click the word “albums” on the drop down
menu. Then scroll down to “RHODESIA” and left click again. Click on
any album page to enlarge the image.
When I purchased this collection from Mrs. Joffe’s estate in 1992, I
made three (3) commitments:
1. I would continue to exhibit the collection
2. I would not break-up the collection
3. I would sell the collection to someone who would continue to exhibit
the collection, so that future generations of our children,
grandchildren and great grandchildren, might be able to enjoy viewing
it.
Even if you have no interest in buying this collection at this time –
it is a MUST LOOK AT COLLECTION.
If you have an interest in the RHODESIA collection or any other
country’s collection (see list below), please contact me. I can send
you a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet of any of the collections.
My name is Larry Schenker and I am from Los Angeles, California in
the United States.
I want to start selling my stamp collection.
I am a collector not a dealer.
In the year 1942, when I was nine (9) years old, I started
collecting stamps. My uncle used to give me $10 a month for the buying
of stamps. He was a personal friend of the legendary Jacques Minkus,
who owned the Stamp Concession at Gimbel’s Herald Square Department
Store in New York City.
Now it is 2006 and I am 73 years old. I have been collecting
stamps, off and on, for over sixty-four (64) years. None of my children
or grandchildren has any desire to collect stamps.
A few years ago, I retired, sold my home and now live in Los
Angeles, California, USA.
I no longer have good eye sight or have the dexterity to handle
these valuable stamps with my tweezers.
It is time for me to start selling off my private collection.
I want to sell individual stamps, sets or complete country
collections.
All of the stamps that I will be selling are from my private
collection and to the best of my knowledge accurate in their
descriptions.
Below are several URL’s that contain pictures and information about
my other country collections. I am in the process of scanning more and
more of the collections and adding additional jpg files to the web
sites.
I am willing to sell any complete country collection – except
Rhodesia (see list below) at 38% of the most current catalog prices.
I am willing to sell most any single stamp or set of stamps at 47% of
either the most current catalog prices.
All sales are to be paid in US Dollars. The buyer is responsible for
packing, shipping, insurance and customs duty.
