Two Rare Items Just Added!
We have just completed our regular update of the online price list with another interesting array of new material. These can all be found in our Recent Acquisitions list.
There are two items in particular that deserve special mention.
The first is an excellent opportunity for collectors of Ireland: a stunning example of the most difficult stamp of the country, the 1935 issue ‘Experimental Coil Stamp’ 2 Pence. This copy is used on piece with a clear 1935 Loch Garman C.D.S., and it comes with a MacDonnell Whyte certificate of authenticity.
References: Scott catalogue number 68b, Stanley Gibbons catalogue number 74b, MacDonnell Whyte D4cii.
We would also like to draw attention to a newly acquired Palestine 1938 issue 150m Booklet, complete and unexploded. This is Stanley Gibbons number SB3a with Blue cover, and contents in English, Arabic, and Hebrew. We see the booklets of Palestine offered only rarely so we are pleased to have this very attractive example available for sale.
SOLD!
You can access our listings for both of these items directly from the Featured Items list on our Home Page.
