The 1928 Ile de France Surcharges
The Transatlantic liner Ile de France was one of the
ships that carried the mails between
Europe and North
America, the fastest way of sending mail at the time. On
13 August 1928,
the ship was able
to take a full day off the time taken for mail by
catapulting a flying-boat off
the stern of the
ship once within range of North America. Passengers could
avail themselves
of this service by
paying the postal agent ten francs per item. For the
return journey, the French
Consul in New York
had existing French stamps surcharged. The stamps
available in largest
numbers were
overprinted with the new 10f denomination; 2,700 of the
90c Berthelot, and 900
of the 1f50 Pasteur
stamps were thus surcharged. Of this number 1,135 and 250
respectively
were used on mail,
the flying-boat taking to the air once the liner was
within sight of the Scilly
Isles. The French
Post Office eventually conceded that these were in fact
official postage stamps.

6 December 2010 � Stamps and
Collectables
�
These dates, though fairly firm, are still provisional.
The publication of the auction catalogue is confirmation
of the date.
THE
END OF THE
� Robert Murray 2010
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 display our rate beside the
counter. We normally allow the market rate rounded down to the
next whole penny. For example, at the time of writing, the
market rate is 0.8242, so we are allowing 82p per Euro (which is
probably better than your bank will give you). You can also pay
for auction lots in Euro banknotes (postal customers please
confirm before sending). We also accept payments in our shop in
Euros, and we buy many of the old �legacy� currencies, as well
as other coins and notes.
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.
>From �300 to �500, bids are in �20 or �30, and above this
in 5% to 10% steps.
Abbreviations;
a list of abbreviations and symbols used is from time to
time included in the auction catalogue. We suggest that you

CARDS
We are happy to accept
MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as payments
by Maestro 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
(Maestro 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.
