Very Simply ... We are honored to be disposing of the Estate from a truly exceptional philatelist and proudly, a prior client of ours.
This Collector was very well known in the high-end auction, private treaty and dealer community.  He specialized in United States issues and had a discerning eye for quality, along with the financial means to acquire whatever he set his sights on.  We have come to realize that one of his true passions were Private Die Proprietary Stamps.  The provenance of his collection traces back to pre World War II with a significant part of his collection originating from the Ambassador J. William Middendorf II collection formed with the assistance of Warren H. Colson.
Much of his collection was sold by Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries
TM
over multiple sales from which much of this material originated.  This collection was one of the finest assemblage of Private Die Stamps, it is truly breathtaking in quality and completeness.
In 25+ years of selling United States stamps, this is one of the very best collections (and certainly a world-class Private Die collection) in terms or both quality and depth that we have seen.  To give you an indication of how vast this collection is, from an internal planning perspective, we estimate that it will take us 8,000 to 11,000 man-hours to properly scan & describe every stamp in this exceptional collection.
We have posted an ultra high-definition (1200 x 1200) scan of the
front and back of the actual stamp
.
