Guillermo Jalil - Philatino Auction # 71 - WORLDWIDE CLASSIC COVERS: Corti Riva archive, part 2, new finding
The second part of a group of NEW AND UNKNOWN COVERS from the Corti Riva archive, a company in Buenos Aires that imported machinery and other products from Europe between 1865 and 1900 approximately. The descendants of the owner of this company started to sell the archive from 1940, mainly to Mr Victor Kneitschel. Fortunately, this new lot of unknown covers was found recently, including a great number of rarities (good postages, Belgian paquebots, very interesting postal markings, and surely very scarce ships and routes!). Unique opportunity to get new material never exhibited in any collection!!
Unsold lots are available after the end of the auction at the starting price + 10% buyer's premium
