Collections and Mixed Lots.
 

 1     Large accumulation of very mixed material in two cartons. A mix of loose stamps, some
      sorted, remainder albums, some covers, and so on. Apparently collected abroad, so not the
      UK-bias normally seen. In one packet we notice a poor UK 1d black, and a spacefiller
      Japan 1916 Hirohito 10s (cat.£800. but badly damaged), but many other finds possible.
      (10,000s) þ       ..      ..      ..      ..      ..      ..         ..        ..        ..       ..        ..        ..        ..         ..        £150.

 3     Old and tatty Scott’s International album with an extensive world collection – strength in
      foreign and with little after about 1930s. Not noted for high value, but good spreads of some
      overseas countries. (1,000s) þ        ..         ..        ..        ..        ..          ..         ..         ..          ..            80.
 4 Carton filled with hundreds of envelopes, these mainly with sorted world off-paper. Mostly
      European seen, with much Netherlands, Norway and Canada at first dig. (10,000s) þ      ..            75.
 5 Fine mix in carton – in several medium stockbooks, on pages, stockcards, packets, etc. Wide
      range, much foreign, little of the very cheapest – much saleable material. (1,000s) þ       ..            75.
 6 A generally badly arranged world accumulation in 15 medium to large stockbooks. (Many
      1,000s) þ           ..        ..         ..         ..         ..         ..        ..        ..         ..         ..             ..                   65.

  with better, many mint, many sets), some old bundleware, and others. (1,000s) þ 50.
 12 The vendor of this carton told us it was “a right guddle” and we agree, as well as feeling
  disinclined to tidy it. Best of luck ! (1,000s) þ .. .. .. 50.
 13 Surprisingly, this box from the same vendor had a note inside – “another right guddle”.

THIS IS HOW YOU CAN BID;
In Person. This is a public auction, and bids are made in the traditional manners.
Bids by post. Please use the Bid Form supplied, and send first class.
Telephone bids will be accepted at any time before the sale (but the earlier the better). These bids should be confirmed in writing, even if the written confirmation will not reach us until after the auction. A mobile number (07974 962649) can be called on the evening of sale only.
Fax bids should be sent to us on 0131.478 7021. Please use the bid form that comes with your auction catalogue. Our machine will be operative during our stated opening hours from now until the date of the sale. As well as this, it will operate 24-hours from 10am on Saturday 6 December until 3pm on Monday 8 December. Please do not fax bids to us after that time.
E-mail bids should be sent to us at [email protected] at any time from the moment you receive this catalogue until 3pm on Monday 8 December. Please do not e-mail bids to us after that time.

CREDIT CARDS We are happy to accept MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as payments by Switch and Delta. This facility can be used by room purchasers (who pay their accounts at the auction), by other local customers (who pay their bill in our shop), and by postal buyers. In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been designed to make space for credit card instructions. If you want your purchases charged in this way, please complete the appropriate section. Do not complete these details unless you want to pay by credit card, and to have the lots posted. We have negotiated good rates with our bank, and are able to absorb the bank charges for this service ourselves, and therefore there is no additional charge for the use of this facility, as long as postal bidders give us their details in advance of posting. Only for postal buyers where card details are given after posting, we will charge 1.9% extra (Visa/MasterCard) or 18p (Switch and Delta), plus cost of posting receipt slip.

VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our shop during the one week prior to the auction. It is sometimes possible to view auction lots outside the normal times, but this must be by special arrangement.
