The Caspary Italian States Part One

By Robert

J. Gill

I have been awamng As an ardent collector of classic Europeans of the Caspary Italian States with concealed but natural impa ti ence!

the

sale

The German States group sold on April 23, 24, 25, 1956 was a pleasant in the same field, and my examination warning of future philatelic expectations present sale proves that Mr . Caspary's is th in included items of the wonderful great. as certainly was love for the Italian States Although the collection is not a collection in the normal se nse that completeness was essential, neverthele ss Mr. Caspary had an equal desire for singl e gems , the many collectors whose inclinations multiple pieces and entires. Consequently range tend toward only one of these fields, as mine do , will find an outstanding Even the general of beautiful items that are "rig ht up their philatelic street". in hi s pursuit . collector wishing to fill spaces will have many opportunities as Part One of the Italian St a tes , does m fact This auction , designated contain the large majorit y of the finer stamps from thi s group to an even greater of the auction extent than in the case of the German St ates. An examination catalogue would have one believe this for it seems diff icult , if not impossible, for one collector to have obtained as many, let alone more, of the top pieces of the various interesting " States " issues than are described here. humble issues of The auction starts quietly enough with the comparatively some important are there t whils ; States Roman and Romagna , Parma , Modena lull before philatelic a of somewhat is there overall States items included in these big blocks Some session. first the of end the at over the big guns of Sardinia take blocks mint in rose 40c and blue 20c of the 1851 issue are very evident, notably of twenty .

The second session, on Tuesday , commences with the 1853 issue of Sardinia and includes some attractive items in this and the following issues. Then Tuscany, with some of the surprises of the collect ion . Blocks of 25 of the 1851-52 lg black on gray and the ls ochre on grayish blue start the ball rolling.

Of the rare 2 soldi there is an unused pair , an o. g. strip of three (unique) and in the used section a vertical strip of five on cover . The even rarer 60 crazie is represented by two o. g . singles , a unique unused strip of three, two used singles and a used pair . And this a stamp that catalogues $2250 unused and $800 used.

Throughout the other values there are some beautiful blocks of four, six and nine .

In the Provisional Government issue of 1860 , the top item is a mint block of 18 of the 10c gray brown and a mint marginal block of twelve of the 20c in a greenish gray blue shade.

The third session continues with the Provisional Government Issue of Tuscany at the 40c value . Of the famous " Three Lire " there are two unused and three used examples.

The Two Sicilies - Naples and Sicily - are undoubtedly ordinary section of this far from ordinary collection .

the most extra-

The very attractive Provisional Go vernment issues of 1860 are exceptional.

The Trinacria comes in an o. g. copy with " double T ", in a used marginal copy with the same variety , three normal used copies ( two on piece) , in a used pair and again in a pair on cover.

The Savoy Cross, not to be outdone, is represented by two o. g. copies, an o . g. vertical pair - one of three known - , six used copies ( two on pieces and one with sheet margin) , a vertical pair , a horizontal strip of three and finally the unique block of eight . On covers , are a vertical pair and a strip of four .

Sicily contain s many beautiful single stamps excellent u~ed multiples, including covers.

both

o . g. and used

and

some

The sale concludes with a pair of the 50g gray used with a 5g vermilion undoubtedly - as the cataloguer remarks - one of the greatest cover rarities of the Italian States .

With recovery in Europe permitting purchasing in the United European collectors, there are strong expectations that many important leave these shores.

States by pieces will

The United States has developed into the greatest philatelic country in the World.

It will h ave to look to its laurels however to retain the many wonderful philatelic gems that have come here in the past , and to prevent a return to the earlier days when philatelic wealth was concentrated in Europe.
