Ed Kester of Cambridge, NE has spent a lifetime collecting this collection of trade & picture cards from the late 1800's/early 1900's, all the federal duck stamps from 1935 to 1987, plus post cards from the S.D. Butcher collection and others. He has decided its time to let go of this great collection and let someone else enjoy it. This is a very small auction but so many neat collectible items that are hard to find.
