Italy Offices in Turkish Empire - several dozen glassines filled with mint and used, in sometimes mixed condition, all identified in glassines by a very knowledgeable advanced collector. Spotted some better singles including used 13 (x6), 14 (x4), 15, and unused include Scott 14 (x14), 15 (x5), 16 (x6), 20B (x4), 20E, 23 (x4), 24 (x4), 50 (x2), etc. Then Constantinople used J1, and J2. Spotted some mint multiples also and some Smyrna. Rarely will you see an assemblage of this size for a popular area like this. Old catalog value exceeds $4000 but likely much higher in today's catalog. Our estimate takes into account condition and some mild duplication. (HICL)(Est $500-750)
