FERRARI, PHILIPP DE – ‘Catalogue des Timbres-Poste / Composant la collection de M. Ferrari de La Renotière’ (14 catalogues, 1921–1925, compiled and described by Gérard Gilbert, expert and auctioneer in Paris. The catalogues of these legendary auctions are bound in four bibliophile quarter leather bindings, without any major imperfections and in good condition. With gold title imprint on the spine.
What makes this item special and probably unique are the hammer prices added by hand to each lot and, in almost all cases, the names of the buyers or agents. Alongside Burrus, you can see well-known names such as Griebert, Champion, Lichtenstein, Kosack and many others. The starting price and the hammer price are noted to the left of the description text, and the respective catalogue price at the time is noted to the right. This is truly a unique copy, in which someone (an employee?) has recorded all these entries. Estimate: 2,000 Euro
(This item is a heavy, medium-sized box. See the PDF for more details. -> Information on shipping for the literature auction)
