2. Kingdom of Italy – 1921/23 “Commission Service” (3 values): 15c, 25c, and 40c values. Note: the 40c value has a yellowing/oxidation spot on the back; the others are clean.

4. Kingdom of Italy – 1911 Fiftieth Anniversary of the Kingdom (2 values with varieties): Two specialized rarities of the brick-red 2 Centesimi value:
• 1 mint example with the rare 15½ vertical perforation (instead of 13½), from the 5th vertical row of the sheet.
• 1 used example with a clear contemporary cancellation (Ravenna), featuring the 15½ vertical perforation combined with the rare variety “2 numerals spaced apart and misaligned by 1 mm.” Both preserved on archival card with descriptive notes.
