New Zealand 1893 Advertising Panes

February 5, 2013 by Aron Halberstam Haberstam

We are always pleased to be able to offer new items from the New Zealand 1893 Advertising issues. This time we have a never-before offered reconstruction of all four panes of 60 — the complete plating of the second setting — with 240 stamps in all. As the sample pane shows below, each has been carefully assembled with used examples of the issues showing the ads on the reverse side in their original order.

The four panes altogether are available as a group right now for $1295. This is an exceptional, exhibition quality offering of this intriguing issue. See our Featured Items page to find a link to the listing on our website.

New Zealand 1893 Advertisement Panes

Two Rare Items Just Added!

January 12, 2011 by Aron Halberstam Haberstam

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.
