COLLECTIONS, ACCUMULATIONS, AND STOCKS — Italy and Areas
LotConditionDescriptionValue/Bidding
537*oItaly and area mint and used mounted collection of several thouand in a Minkus album up to the late 1970s. Starts with a scattering of states, then becomes strong in the early period through the Facist period to the end. Follows the usual progression of mostly used at first becoming more and more mint to all mint. The Trieste and Fiume are also strong. Some duplication shingled throughout adding noticeably to the value. Condition mixed, some dubious but still helpful value.Cat. Value: S.B. 2,800.00
Price Realized: $2,000.00
538*oItaly and area collection to 1968 in a well used but serviceable Scott Specialty album with pages complete to 1990 (mainly empty 1968-1990). Mixed mint and used. Strong classic states section many with interesting cancels. Missing many of the elusive sets but has enough power to be considered an advanced collection. Huge catalog value tempered by many dubious in the states section. Good back of the book plus a matching Trieste group. Hundreds of stamps in collectible condition. Some stamps need to be remounted to improve the presentation which could be easily accomplished by an advanced collector.Cat. Value: S.B. 1,000.00
Price Realized: $700.00
539*oItaly and areas mostly used collection mounted in a Minkus album with issues to the mid 1970s. Good value in the early period, Facist issues along with the postwar. Many sets, condition mixed and the states are not in the owner’s catalog value. A bread and butter collection.Cat. Value: Owner’s cat. 4,600.00
Price Realized: $325.00
