Collecting Interests
Louise Dale was responsible for building a number of valuable collections, some based on her father’s collections. One of her principal collections was that of the postage stamps of British Africa and Asia. Some of her other philatelic acquisitions included very rare items, such as imperforate pairs of the 1875 government reprints of the 1857 issue of the United States and the Bordeaux issues of France.
When she inherited his stamp collection from his father and, as the years and decades passed, the Buenos Aires “barquitos” tete-beche pair was never seen again, nor was it offered in the series of Dale-Lichtenstein public auctions held by the H. R. Harmer firm. After the last of the Dale- Lichtenstein collection was sold, any hope for the tete-beche pair’s survival was lost.
