The Alfred F. Kugel Collection, Part Two
September 10-11, 2024

Welcome to Part II of the Al Kugel Collection, being sold on behalf of the American Philatelic Society. We begin with United States Interventions, first in China, during the Boxer Uprising, then in Northern Mexico (looking for Pancho Villa). Spanish American War follows, with U.S. Army in the Caribbean, U.S. involvement in Haiti, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, registered mail from the A.E.F. and the U.S. Army and its Postal Service Abroad during WWII, including "Prexies at War" exhibit. There are solid selections of U.S. Possessions and Allied Intervention in Russia (quite an astounding showing, with many unique items). There are selections from the specialized collections of Albania, Bulgaria, Crete and others. An avid Military historian, Mr. Kugel assembled a splendid collection of the aftermath of the Great War, with French and British Occupation forces in Europe and the Middle East, following the fall of the Austro-Hungarian, German, Russian and Ottoman Empires. There are excellent selections from Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and Russia, as well as many uncommon usages from The Holyland, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. World War I and WWII German and Italian Occupation issues, including satellite Croatia and Slovakia are very well represented in this sale. The sale will take place live via CherrystoneLIVE.
