Description

UP FOR AUCTION IS A SET OF 9 ANTIQUE ALBANIAN STAMPS.
THEY ARE MARKED IN DENOMINATIONS OF 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 25, 30, 40 AND 50. THEY ARE HINGED ON A PIECE OF PAPER WITH THE HANDWRITTEN (IN ENGLISH) INFORMATION, "FOR CITY OF MOSCOPOLIS 1914." THE DATE MEANS THE STAMPS WERE MADE A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER ALBANIA ACHIEVED INDEPENDENCE.
MOSCOPOLIS (THE NAME HAS SPELLING VARIATIONS) WAS AT ONE TIME AN IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL CENTER IN ALBANIA.
IT APPEARS TO ME THAT 6 OF THE 9 STAMPS ARE POSTMARKED WITH CANCELLATION MARKS, AND 3 ARE NOT.
ALL 9 STAMPS WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN ONE DAY OF CLEARED PAYMENT. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
