I have a bunch of old stamps from Italy just want to know if anything jumps out. The album seems to only have 1930 and older in it
I soaked the stamps to remove from the album. Dam did they use tough glue back in the day lol

Too difficult to see condition in that scan. Try scanning 2 rows at a time.

I note that one of the stamps has a perfin.

I'm not sure, but I think that that's not very common.

I probably have 900/1000 old Italian stamps but I don't think there's a perfin among them.

It seems a `B.C.I` perfin. I have a couple of italian perfins, this one guess it`s common (I have cca. 8 of it). The problem with perfins is that they were considered `faults`, so collectors usually throw them. I found a big amount in a box, unsorted and separated from the rest of stamps. Just a few:



-edit: B.C.I seems to stand for Banca Commerciale Italiana (Italian Commercial Bank, founded 1894)
The `Patmos` overprint is from 1912, Italian occupation, Michel Cv 2005 MNH is 7 Euro (under Aegean Islans)

You`ve got two from 1863, these are the oldest: 1c(entesimi) and 2c, third row 5th and first row 1st. Last row 7th seems also to be from 1863 (60 c ?).
