I am going through a "baggy" from an auction I got years ago.
Interestingly, got alot from the 1800's. the earliest one so far that I found is a 34-A8 (not sure of the type yet, I need a more powerful magnifier). anyway I can't identify the stamp on the left...

This stamp has a blue overprint so is Scott Libya #E11 (if perf 11) or #E11a (if perf 14).

That's the loveliest image of "Italia" I have seen,
thanks for posting.
I can see the Olive sprig, Oak leaves (and acorns)
the Italia castle, and the star.
The only thing missing is the Italian "knot of rope"

The images in the mandrels are curious, I wonder if they
are coffee beans?

Sorry, caught me at a weak moment.
But you get the obligatory 50 points for getting
one of my jokes.

Looking to Libyan stamps for agriculture, could have you
scratching your head, not really celebrated on the little
bits of perfed paper.
There is the date conference of 1959 and not much else,
even with their extended coastline not much on their fisheries
either.
FYI produce is mainly Dates, olives, almonds citrus and tomatoes.
(Libyans do however, have a penchant for Coffee )

A google search has Libya offering a proposed agreement
with exchange for farmers of South Africa to bring in farming
and good land use expertise.

tonymacg.. yes I was surprised to read that "most of the margins are in bad shape".
Interestingly, all the espresso stamps I have are exactly like the one above.. I put that in the cover it is in, because I couldn't find a mount big enough.
oh and why do you say "Luckliy(?)"
