This is the
electronic/internet version of our normal paper catalogue.
Some changes have been effected so as to save file space and
transfer/download time. Most illustrations and logos for
example have been removed. Although it is not in the easiest
form to read, hopefully it will still bring you the
information you need.
The sale is
arranged in the following order; Lots 1-52 Collections and Mixed Lots Lots 53-59 Non-Philatelic Items Lots 60-301 Lots by country A-Z, excluding U.K. Lots 302-445 United Kingdom |
|
The figure at the end of each description is our estimate, in pounds sterling. Bids are accepted above or below this figure, although bids below about 75% or 80% estimate only have a tiny chance of success (and are not normally sold at less than about two-thirds of estimate). Estimates are in Pounds Sterling do not include the 10% buyer's premium.
After the main listings you will find various information and instructions. This is followed by a sample bid form, and a copy of the the notes that appear on the reverse of our bid forms.
This is a public auction, in which written/telephone/e-mail bids are also accepted. If you are bidding with us for the first time, please bid by two of these methods with the same bids (e.g. by post and by phone, or by telephone and by e-mail), or bid in good enough time for us to get back in touch with you with any queries.
NEW BIDDERS;
Please note that bidders who are not already known to us are required to bid in the first instance by two different methods. The options available are email, telephone, or post. New customers attending one of our sales in person for the first time, and intending to bid, are invited to make themselves known before the sale starts. This saves the auctioneer from having to ask for a name during the sale. |

Email Connections
In the few
days before publication of this catalogue, there have been
intermittent problems with emails from us and to us. This
seems to be due to connection problems between our ISP's
servers (UK2) and Yahoo (and it appears that BTinternet
emails also go through Yahoo).
If you email us a bid, we will always send a reply be
email. If you do not get a reply, please email again, or
phone.
Hopefully however this is something that will be fixed
very soon.

� We
are
delighted to announce that Malcolm Cant, author of many
books on
has entrusted to us his collection of postcards
and photographs for sale. These will appear in
our auction in December (we have yet to arrange
whether this will be part of our 10 December
Stamps and Collectables sale, or as a �tandem�
auction on the same day, or as a separate sale).
VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS
Tuesday 25 September to Saturday 29 September; viewing
of all lots at our shop, normal shop hours
(Tue 10-6, Wed 2-9, Thu 10-6, Fri 10-6, Sat
10-6).
Monday 1 October; larger lots (marked ��� in the description); on view at auction
venue
smaller lots; on view at auction venue
Any lots marked ��� will not be taken to the auction venue
(viewing at shop only).
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.
The following was
printed in our April catalogue, and is repeated here
just in case anybody missed it !
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.)

Greetings
�Moving Home� 1st Class. The following ten lots
represent a holding of identical
varieties which have not previously been on the
market. In all of the following lots, the perf-
orations have shifted 8mm to the left, meaning that
the leftmost stamp has no Queen�s head
or denomination, that all others in each horizontal
row have the denomination and head at
the left of each stamp rather than the right, and
that the right margin has part of the design
including these elements. Each stamp has one broad
phosphor band at left. All are fine
unmounted mint.
The batch is of five sheets, one of which has been
broken down into smaller units.

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 0.8094, so we are allowing
80p 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.
