ITALY & AREA IN TWO SCOTT ALBUMS – 426541

ITALY & AREA IN TWO SCOTT ALBUMS – Italy is one of the more fascinating countries within the hobby as it was unified by Mazzini, Garibaldi and Co. right around the time prepaid stamps were being introduced, and thus one can trace development of stamps as well as newly forged nation. In total the collection features some 2,000 different issues as the regular section is comprehensively populated all through to the 1990s! With catalog value in the region of $6,000 and individual standouts like mint #62, 119-122, 130-132 (NH), 232-238, 242-246, used #17, 19, 24-33, 55, 60, 62, 72, 140, 142, and more!

While the regular section is densely populated, the second volume covering B-O-B portion and states is spottier, but includes gems in the States portion! Overall, great resource for those looking to strengthen their Italian portfolio all along over a century long axis! Gen. VERY FINE, mint og, some NH (We only photographed regular section to midcentury mark and small preview from the B-O-B volume)
