DAVID FELDMAN GENEVA Announces
Results of Today's Private Acutions
"Most valuable stamp" stays world's most expensive object
The famous Treskilling Yellow of Sweden, which became the world's most valuable stamp in 1996 when it sold for 2'875'000 Swiss Francs at a David Feldman public auction, has just changed hands once again, maintaining its reputation also as the world's most valuable object by weight.
At a private auction held in Geneva today, the famous stamp whose history alone is the subject of several publications, was acquired by an international consortium for an undisclosed figure. The company had requests from four parties to bid; in the end two of them took active part, and the consortium was the winner.
"The consortium members have purchased the stamp believing it to be a solid investment in these turbulent times," says Mr. David Feldman, "The consortium wishes to keep the price confidential. However, I have little doubt that in time both the price and identity of the consortium will become public knowledge."
Unique Tuscany Error sells for undisclosed price
The famous Tuscany error with the value tablet inverted is listed by the specialised and most widely used Sassone catalogue of Italy with a retail price of one million Euros - the most highly priced stamp of all the Italian States.
Estimated by the David Feldman company of Geneva for its private auction today at between 400'000 and 600'000 Euros, it was sold for an undisclosed figure, but confirmed by Mr. Feldman to be within the range of the estimate.
It has been recognised as one of the world's rarest stamps, having been featured as one of the famous "Aristocrats of Philately" at exhibition in New York some years ago. No doubt the deluxe handbook-catalogue just produced by David Feldman and today's auction result will contribute to its future fame and fortune.
