More Pictorials

Italian Colonies, Page SM-17.5 (GR-2)

This set of stamps is a reprinting of a previous set of stamps. See Pictorial Definitives page for information on these stamps.

These stamps are identical except with a slightly different perforation size. The other set is perforated with twelve holes per two centimeters, whereas these are fourteen. In stamp collecting, that makes a difference in rarity and value.

Note

Recently, I added this page. That’s why it’s labeled in the bottom corner as SM-17.5 – and not with a whole number. These stamps were scattered around on three other pages. It’s difficult designing album pages when you don’t have many of the stamps for an album.

Now that I have most of the stamps in this album, I’ve become aware of what stamps belong in it and their sizes – as well as their relationship to each other, of which printing they are a part. Hopefully, I have spaces for all of the stamps for this album and in the right places – or at least they most agreeable ordering and placement.

Contains 18 spots: own 7 – 6 unused, 1 used.

Footnotes

  • Spot refers to the postion of the stamp on the album page (e.g., 3.2 indicates row 3, position 2).

  • Amt. is an abbreviation for the face amount of the stamp.

  • Own indicates the stamp status: ✓ for unused; ✗ for used or canceled; ⭑ signifies I ordered one; ; ✨ indicates it was bought recently; ✠ means an auction bid is pending; and ◎ is used, and it costs too much for unused.

  • To search by catalog number, go to the search box and enter it in the catalog number box. However, it’s a bit broken; I need to fix it.
