| My
Italian Job, but don't blow the doors off!! by Roger Winn 5th June 2025 |
|
Roger (a member of the Launceston
club) presented a very interesting and comprehensive
display of Italian Occupation stamps covering the period
1905-1945. A few of his display sheets are shown below
(again, apologies for the quality of the photos, the
protective sheets cause a lot of reflection), but I
could not possibly give a comprehensive write-up of his
display which involved a lot of personal research to
both identify and collect the stamps and postmarks on
display

| Bob treated members to a
display of material not normally seen by members, covering
the period encompassing the reigns of Edward VII, George
V, Edward VIII and George VI. Material included Essays,
Proofs, Colour tests, artist's drawings, printer's wate,
etc. most of which material could be classed as scarce
with some items unique outside of Museums and/or the Royal
Collection. There were at least 128 sheets of material all
written up in the same style over many years, a truly
wonderfully eclectic collection. |
