Condition is generally good to fine with a couple of nice items including used horizontal pair of the 3c and the 5c, a couple unused copies of the 5c with OG, and two almost VF copies of the 20c with OG. Not a good lot for cancels, but most are sound 4 margin copies. Scott catalog is slightly more than $2,200.00 | $100.00 | $255.00 |
| 2 | Scott #1, 1c red, top margin vertical strips of 3 and 4 joined to form a block of 7. The piece is quite weak along the vertical join; probably there was a fold along this line. Otherwise clean, sound and attractive. F. | 25.00 | 31.00 |
| 3 | Scott #1-6, used copies in SAFE stock page, 12 to 14 copies of each except 20c 7 copies. Average condition is about fine. Almost all are sound four margin copies, some faults (hinge remnants, thins, etc. A few have useful cancels. Scott catalog about $750.00 | 35.00 | 260.00 |

| 6 | Scott #11, 7c perf. Liberty Head, mint block of 4. Nice perfectly centered block with good blue color and full OG. Top sheet margin (about 1 mm) attached. Vertical perfs are good.

| 11 | Folded letter, St. Marc to Port au Prince 5 September 1861, with strike of the small double circle British style marking for St. Marc. Probably carried by local ship post. Letter has faults; the St. Marc marking is double struck which makes it somewhat unclear, a tear at top center about 2 cm long that appears to be an extension of a tear on the reverse caused by opening, and a horizontal file fold at bottom, neither affecting the St. Marc strike. Contents a paragraph in French, probably can be read by a French speaking person. Overall good.  | 25.00 | 27.00 |

Horizontal file fold slightly affects one stamp and the Port au Prince A marking. Note: Other examples exist of payment of 5 pence Haiti to St. Thomas, and the letter, although not expertised, appears to be genuine in all respects. Overall condition is about fine. | 50.00 | 320.00 |
| 18 | Cover sheet, Cap Haitien to Port au Prince 1878, with 10c HAPAG stamp. The stamp is not cancelled (and is not tied to the letter). The stamp is missing two small pieces, one about 1mm by 2mm in lower right corner, the other about 1mm square in left margin. Horizontal and vertical file folds do not affect stamp. This item has not been expertised and may not be genuine, although one would think that a person creating a bogus item would have used a better copy of the stamp. As is. | 10.00 | No Bids |
