Walske.Estimate $1,500 - 2,000.
It is now nearly fifty years since the American Philatelic Society (Maya Shop Fraud Order), exposed the fraudulent activities and forced termination of Mr. de Thuin's activities in Merida, Mexico in 1965. Thuin had developed a vast group of non-genuine cancelling devices, overprint cliches and techniques for fraudulently producing stamps and covers that were present to customers on approval sheets. These included various worldwide stamps with some emphasis on Mexico. His correspondence with collectors was revealing as to the extent of his holdings and productions.
This assembly of material was part of the Carl Walske Collection of Fakes and Forgeries which was sold by us in February 2010 and realized $4,500 hammer.
