Collections
and
Mixed Lots.
1 Entertaining and
noteworthy collection in springback album. This covers the
whole world
and is largely composed of individual items a
collector has purchased over a number of years,
with a bias to older Commonwealth, but with other
Europe and Overseas included, and inc-
luding many forgeries and reprints (which are noted
as such). Some examples inc. India 1965
10r printed on gummed side, Victoria (Australia) KE7
�1 perforated �OS� c.t.o., Newfound-
land 1861 1/- m.m., nine Scinde Dawk forgeries,
Gambia 1922 4/- (3 different perfs) m.m.,
UK 1858 1d red plate 188 mint sixblock, 1d red with
OUS opt., 1840 penny blacks (6) and
twopence blue (1), NZ 1971 18c Maori Club u.m. with
major black shift, British Virgin
Islands 1937 Coronation set perforated SPECIMEN, and so forth. Interesting lot, with
much
useful. Mainly fine, but some faults or poorer
mounting. (100s) �
..
..
�500.
2 Small box with
bundle of stockcards of selected items � mixed Commonwealth,
and Overseas. Each card generally catalogued pounds,
or tens, sometimes hundreds.

3 Old and broken
ledger used as an album, with almost everything being 19th
and early 20th

condition, and had had some picking
at some time, but with interest throughout and inc.
some fiscals, postal stationery, etc.
$2�, $5, $10, $20. Postal stationery inc. some
China/Indo-China area. (c.3,500) �
�400.
4 An attractive
and entertaining mint (tiny number of used) world collection
in four binders
of Hagner/Prinz pages. The strength is in the
disparity and coverage, the bulk of stamps
from very roughly 1890s to 1960s (though earlier and
later included), with examples of
many territories not often seen (e.g.
seldom the commonest stamps, and often worth a few
pounds per country (usually at least
a pound or two). (c.3,000+) � ..
..
..
..
..

5 Interesting
world collection in two cartons. General ranges without much
modern, with
strength in France, but with better items/sets here
and there throughout . . . BUT the
coll-
ection has been damp, leaving some mould, and many
mint stamps stuck down (some
solidly, others removing with caution). A worthwhile
lot, but quite a serious project for
somebody. (1,000s) �

6 World collection
in six SG Devon albums alphabetically A-K and N to
R. A moderate

modern,
of Commonwealth, Europe, and Overseas mixed countries

ature sheeets. Many pictorial (inc. thematic birds,
flowers, etc.), some less common areas.

in four Simplex albums, with more value in
Commonwealth countries,
little after about 1950s, and inc. a number of 1937
Coronation sets,
SPECIMEN set (3) heavy m.m.,

While we
prefer not to take in future auction lots actually at the
auction (we�ve got enough to do !) we understand that it
makes sense for some people to do so. But please, if you
are delivering auction material to us at the auction, mark
up your packages with your vendor reference number. If you
don�t have a number please call us in advance of the sale
day so that we can give you one.
It is a
while since we printed this notice in our catalogue, but
it needs to be repeated from time to time;
We are the only people who should be doing business in or
at the auction premises. We do not allow any other
business without our express permission. We know that
people often take the opportunity of meeting at our
auction to carry out small sales or exchanges, and we
don't generally have any problem with that, as long as we
are asked. Otherwise no approaches should be made to other
customers with a view to making sales or soliciting
business. On pain of death. (Well, actually, probably on
pain of a slightly embarrassing telling-off, but at very
worst a ban.)

This date, though fairly firm, is still provisional. The
publication of the auction catalogue is confirmation of
the date. First auction after summer break approx. late
August/early September.
THE

A Buyer�s Premium of 10% (vat-inclusive) will be
added to all sale prices.
0845
0500
886 Use this number to make
bids or to check on prices after the auction � or any time you
want to speak to us � from anywhere in the UK for the cost of a
local rate phone call.
�uro Currency; We are happy to accept
Euro cash payments in our shop. We normally allow the market
rate rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the
time of writing, the market rate is 0.8252, so we are allowing
82p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give
you). You can also pay for lots in this auction by Euro
banknotes (postal customers please confirm before sending). We
also accept payments in our shop in Euros, and we buy the old �legacy�
currencies, as well as other coins and notes.
MATERIAL IS ACCEPTED FOR FUTURE SALES AT ANY TIME
Most auctions include a
few lots which, due to their large size or weight compared to
value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must
therefore be viewed at our shop during the previous week, and
successful purchasers will be responsible for their collection
from us. The symbol for these is � ��, and very generally
speaking, there's a cut-off point of about �2 or �3 estimate
per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can
either call at the shop during normal opening hours, or it is
sometimes possible to arrange to pick up after the auction has
finished (though please first speak to Mr. Murray to arrange
this).
NORMAL BIDDING STEPS
We list here
our normal bid steps for your information. This may be of help
to bidders who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit
our normal pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as
much as possible, but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to �20, bids are in �1 steps.
From �20 to �30, bids are in �2 steps.
>From �30 to �50, bids are in �2 or �3 steps (i.e. �30,
�32, �35, �38, �40, �42, �45, �48, �50).
>From �50 to �100 in �5 steps.
From �100 to �200,
bids are in �10 steps.
>From �200 to �300, bids are in �20 steps.

posting receipt slip.
