2768   Switzerland, a perfectionist’s semi-postal mint never hinged stock, an immaculate holding of well over 2000 semi-postal stamps, the vast majority in complete series and all, as far as we can see, in pristine mint never hinged condition from the forerunners through to 1963, housed in a luxury stockbook. The forerunners are strong with the three different languages including the scarce 'Un'anno di sole!' 10cmi rose in never hinged quality with near ideal centering, as well as colors hardly exposed to light as with virtually everything else here. There is also a spectacular horizontal strip of five of the German inscription 10rp brown perforated double vertically in three places. Then the 'Pro Juventute' issues with highlights including 1915 series complete (#B2/B3), 1916 complete x2 (#B4/B6), 1917 complete (#B7/B9), 1918 complete x5 (#B10/B11), etc, then the National Fete souvenir sheet with three examples needless to say for this holding all flawless mint never hinged (#B105), similarly 6x the 1942 Geneva/National Fete souvenir sheet (#B119), as well as the scarce Insects se-tenant sheetlet and much more. A delightful stock with nothing but pleasure throughout, a virtual no-brainer for the Swiss dealer looking for the best quality.

An impressive stock of well over 3000 stamps, appearing superb used throughout from the first semi-postal issue through to 1960, housed in a luxury stockbook. There is no excessive duplication as there is one line on the stockpage per catalog listing. Better items include the 1915 series x6 (#B2/B3), 1916s x7 with an additional 10cts key value (#B4/B6), 1917s x6 again with an extra top value (#B7/B9), 1918s x3 with a further three of the 10cts (#B10/B11), 1919s x5 etc, leading through to the 1940 National Fete issue including 7 of the good shade on the 20cts+5cts (#B102a), as well as the complete imperfs cut from the souvenir sheet and used on piece (#B105a/105d), followed by the 1942 National Fete souvenir sheet used on piece and an extra center 'geschnitten' (#B119a/b), etc, etc. The approximate catalog in Michel comes to €13,000, though this will be far higher in Zumstein.

2770 /o   Switzerland, a perfectionist’s mint and used stock of postage dues with much elusive material, a further holding from the wannabe dealer with a penchant for quality, this time a wonderful array of postage dues from the 1884/97 series onwards, housed in two volumes with around 3000 stamps mint, mint never hinged and superb used. The first book is dedicated to the 1884/1909 olive green issues with numerals in red, with several 100s of mint and used, appearing at first sight to be a little disorganised compared to the other sections of the stock, however on closer inspection it becomes clear that this is an extraordinary in-depth showing of the different printings with systematic studies of the constant plate varieties, many in multiple format right up to the 100cts. Some of the most interesting of these are the constant flaws, moreover there are certainly inverted centers on the same issue, here as shown by the breaks in frame which are otherwise very difficult to detect. There also multiples showing tête-bêche breaks in corner ornament, etc. The more you look the more you see here, making an exciting this a particularly exciting this viewing. The later issues in the second volume with many varieties identified, including the 1924/34 25cts on grilled paper mint and used, etc. This was obviously a favorite area of Swiss philately for this man.

The strubel issues (also known as the imperforate sitting Helvetia issues) are the most popular specialization subject for most serious classical Switzerland philatelists, careful viewing recommended.

To give you an idea of the unique nature of this holding, there are for instance more than 700 examples of the 1916 star and crescent semi-postal overprints on the 10pi red used (#B25 Scott, $200 each, Scott retail therefore $140,000), at the end of this group there is a range of errors that the collector has personally discovered over the decades, including no less than four inverted overprints not listed, seldom seen if not at all. This pattern is repeated with other issues some 170+ examples of Scott #512 ($35 each, total Scott retail $6000), with three 'missing star' errors, accumulated over several decades squirreling, followed by 570+ examples of the 1901 5pi lilac rose newspaper stamp (#P48, $27.50 each, Scott retail $5000) including double and inverted overprints and highly unusual additional crescent and star overprints in red and black, nevertheless genuine postally used as is the case with virtually all the rest as well.

Elsewhere there are fascinating groups of Tughras, later 1860s overprints on Crescent and Star types including the 1867 imperf 1pi lilac, the 1886 25pi black and pale gray mint (#73), the Sultan's visit overprints for Monastir, Pristina, Salonique and Uskub an extremely unusual 1913 post office 20pa carmine rose block of 25 with inverted 'Star and Crescent' overprints not listed in Scott, even Turkey in Asia including the 3pi red surcharge on 2pa violet Artillery x15 mint never hinged (#10), etc, etc. The Scott retail on just the stamps we could find in Scott listed in this description alone well exceeds $200,000 and there is far more here.
