Lot #7 - LARGE HERMES HEAD - 1861 paris print
GREECE: 1l brown with vertically laid background in used bl.8. Touched at top and with several creases as expected for such a large multiple (practically one stamp without faults) but still a great rarity. It is quite uncommon in used bl.8, ratherly seen in strips of 4 or 5 canc. "67", one of the largest used blocks, perhaps second to a used bl.12 known. (Hellas 1a).
Lot #8 - LARGE HERMES HEAD - 1861 paris print
GREECE: Newspaper "Η ΠΕΛΛΟΠΟΝΗΣΟΣ/1 ΙΑΝ.62", fr. with 1l. chocolate-brown cancelled "ΚΑΛΑΜΑΙ (31)*2.ΙΑΝ.62". Stamp just touched at upper left corner but still fine for this. Rare. (Hellas 1a).

Lot #12 - LARGE HERMES HEAD - 1861 paris print
GREECE: 1866 cover franked with 2 strips of five on 2l. brown-bistre, 3 stamps with faults, otherwise a very nice item. The letter was restored, as the left side of the letter and the lower left stamp does not come from the original letter, but from other object. The "kalamai" post mark does not belong to cover, the correct arrival cancelation at the reverse is "ΑΘΗΝΑΙ (1)*15 ΙΟΥΝ. 66". Very rare. (Hellas 2c)
