Massive Collection/Hoard. Many thousands of Italian, Italian State and Italian Colonies area stamps, mint and used, housed in two albums (a Scott Specialty for the older issues, a Schaubek for the more modern material) and in a bulging to capacity 64 page stockbook. Every area of Italian philately is covered here, from the earliest state imperfs up to late 20th century commemoratives. The two albums are pleasingly comprehensive with both regular and "Back of the Book" material, full of better singles and sets. The stockbook is carefully and logically organized with significant duplication of many issues, including some of the better. The total catalogue value total will be in the many thousands of dollars, with excellent potential for specialist finds. A great start to this historically rich Mediterranean country with loads of extras for study and/or trade. Estimate
