| Abstract: | Jean de Sperati, noted craftsman of Aix-les-Bains, France, has retired from business. The producer of many reproductions which have deceived the Experts over the past 40 years, he has disposed of his stock, tools and "dies", and they are now under control of the British Philatelic Association. During his long career, he made several great varieties, the most valuable was the Swedish 3 skilling banco error coloured in yellow instead of green. The only known genuine copy of this rarity was for many years in the collection of the late King Carol of Romania, and was valued at £10,000. |
