Back of Book Highlights:

This collection includes notable back of book material, which is often where significant value lies in a Switzerland collection. Sections present include Semi-Postal stamps (Pro Patria and Pro Juventute series), Official stamps for the International Labor Bureau, and Official stamps for the International Telecommunication Union, among others. Please review the photos carefully — the back of book content and early classics are a particular strength of this collection.

A note on identification: Stamps have not been independently verified to confirm they are identified as labeled in the album. That said, the seller has reviewed the collection and has seen no reason to believe any stamps may be improperly labeled.

A note on catalog values: Pencil notations throughout the album reflect catalog values as recorded by the previous collector. These prices are not current, though they do not appear significantly out of date in many cases. Buyers should consult a current Scott catalog for up-to-date valuations.
