1926 (April 10) Italian Volo Transpolare Amundsen Nobile Ellsworth Zeppelin Airmail Labels, a rare full sheet of 20, with even rarer tête-bêche stamp at lower left corner of sheet. The back of the sheet shows 10 oval handstamps in purple, and there is a pencil signature on back of the inverted stamp. Unfortunately, this sheet was stored folded in half, with a thin layer of glassine protecting the gum, but the layer has mostly remained stuck. This sheet belonged to Mr. Leon V. Pont, whose Indian Airmail collection is being sold elsewhere in this catalogue. We believe he purchased the sheet in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Faults due to storage, still presentable and rare.
