 Bergedorf, 1861 ½sch-4sch First Issue complete, transfer block trial color proofs. Of all five issues in black, red brown, red, green and blue, ½sch & 1½sch values in a block of 12
transfers, 1sch & 3sch in a block of 10 transfers and the 4sch value in a block of 10 transfers, each on medium grayish wove paper, all in a pristine fresh state of preservation, Very Fine and choice.
Michel No. 1TC-5TC; Estimate
$10,000 - 15,000.
A UNIQUE COMPLETE SET OF THE 1861 BERGEDORF TRANSFER BLOCK TRIAL COLORS.
In 1858, Shanahan's Auction House in Dublin, Ireland sold this remarkable set to Albin Schwärzler of Bergedorf. The current
owner has researched other examples of these blocks in other collections, auction catalogs and other sources for over thirty five years and has concluded that only four complete sets were ever printed. Many of the other blocks have been cut up to
facilitate their sale so that apart from those offered here, it is no longer possible, according to the owner's research, to assemble a second complete set.
