Sketchbook with printed cancellations from 1928; Printed; stapled; approx. 70 pag.; soft cover; in good condition; An absolutely unique collection of three sketchbooks used in 1928 by a collector (most likely of Italian origin) to collect examples of the postmarks in use at various post offices, mostly in Italy but also in Monaco and Mons in Belgium (!!!). Many postmasters cooperated by also signing the pages on which they applied the postmarks, some even applied the various postage labels in use (e.g. Express, etc.). It is difficult to overestimate the importance and uniqueness of these items, a piece of pure philatelic history in book form.
