Lot #1793
LARGE LOTS AND COLLECTIONS UKRAINE Local Issues
1992-93 well researched and documented collection of stamps and postal history formed by an advanced collector, housed on hundreds of pages in six very large Elbe type albums. During 1992 and 1993 (and in some instances 1994 and 1995) various cities in Ukraine found themselves short of postage stamps or stuck with unusable Soviet stamps and stationery. Overprints in Kiev, Lviv and Chernihiv were officially sanctioned, other local post offices prepared "provisional" surcharges, usually variations of Trident and applied them to USSR regular issues and stationery. This collection includes thousands of these Provisionals, with hundreds of double, inverted and generally "fantastic" items, sheets, registered covers to the United States and much more, with descriptions and useful historical data, substantial acquisition cost
