1851–60, collection of over 120 stamps in a stockbook, mint and used, predominantly a study of the Lion of Tuscany issues, neatly arranged by denomination with considerable effort made to identify shades, plate flaws, postmarks, and proofs, mostly singles with a few pairs, the odd dubious example as typical of such material, condition slightly mixed though superior to what is often found in holdings of this scope, many four-margin examples throughout, numerous stamps signed including by Oliva and Diena, with four certificates accompanying; a desirable collection, mostly fine or better and ideal for the specialist.
