THEFT OF TWO UNIQUE UNFOLDED CZECHOSLOVAKIAN HRADCANY GUTTERS!

 

Advertising:

Svaz českých filatelistů 

 

   On September 21, an entire sack of registered mail was stolen at JFK. In it were two unique unfolded Czechoslovakian Hradcany gutters, one mint, the other canceled at Nachod, both bearing provisional postage due markings. A full description of these two pieces may be found in the May/June 2003 issue of the Czechoslovak Specialist. A copy of the article and a large scan of the two gutters may also be found on-line at my personal web site: www.knihtisk.com. Look on the Library/Articles page at the article entitled "The Nachod Discovery."

These gutters are especially important as they uniquely demonstrate that a second, unknown and unfolded, gutter sheet reached public hands. Until their discovery in 2002, it was thought that only one sheet, which was folded, had reached public hands. As unique items, their value is of course priceless.

A reward is offered for their return. Interested parties may reach me on-line at info@knihtisk.com, or by phone:
1-304-229-0100 Office (Dr. Mark Wilson)
1-540-877-3015 Home (Mark Wilson)

or by writing to:
Mark Wilson, Librarian Society for Czechoslovak Philately Library
316 Devland Drive
Winchester VA 22603.

A scan of the two gutters is attached. I can provide far better scans should you need one. If you can advise me as to the best means of advertising this theft, please let me know. I have never had to face this situation before.

Regards,

MARK WILSON
