Italian States, Mind-Boggling Specialized & Highly Complete Collection, 1837-67, In four large binders with all stamps blackmounted on album pages, a collection of mint & used Italian States, the likes of which we will probably not see for some time to come. Not only is the level of completeness shockingly high, but almost all of it is in duplication many times over, displaying the many color shades and other varieties, including the various types of cancels throughout the various states. As we know, this area is rife with fakes & forgeries, and in many instances the collector has identified them as such including those by Fournier, but the majority looks good and includes many certificates and signatures to attest to that, such as Modena used Bolaffi #8g (Raybaudi-Massilia cert). For simplicity, we will stick to Sassone numbers for the rest of this lot, and the following all have certs: Roman States mint 5A (pair) & 11, Sardinia used 1, used 7d, mint 16Ab, used 18A (2 with separate certs), mint 20S, Sicily used 3d, and Lombardy-Venetia used 1b, used 1d, mint 2, mint 38, mint 45 and a 1867 cover from Constantinople to Venice with a pair of 45. Many unusual items too, like specimen sheets of Romagna 1-9 in four different colors, and hundreds of all-different Cinderella labels from the 1880's to the 1930's with many military, philatelic show labels and other exhibitions, etc. And instead of showing you just a few select pages, we decided to show you everything, because as I mentioned in the beginning, a collection like this doesn't come around very often, overall Fine to Very Fine.
