GUM DESCRIPTION

Recognizing that there are occasional differences of opinion concerning gum nomenclatu re by various expert committees , for example, a stamp described as o.g. being certified as large part o.g. or even part o.g., this minor classification discrepancy alone is not sufficient grounds for return .

COVER CONDITION

Minor faults incl uding, but not limited to, file folds not affecting stamps , small tears and some back flap damage have not been noted in the descriptions of this catalogue . IMPORTANT

Remember , NO lots may be returned with back stamps stating Fake, Falsch , or similar markings. Recently there has been a spate of German exper tisers marking the backs of stamps . It is your responsibility as the purchaser not to let this happen .

was th e question put to me by an old Philat elist fri end o f some thirty years' standing, In honesty I felt hound to tell him th a t he wou ld probably realiz e higher pr ice!ii if he waited, but I questi oned if he would O do bette r " for the simpl e r eason that money to-day will buy more in the way of stocks and shar es than it will in th e future , and stocks and shar es will also increase in value and earn int erest at the same time; if be had been thinking of buyi ng hou ses it would have bee n a diffcrtn t proposition. G roughly ther e is not much in it; se lling to-day at lo wer price s tha n t he boom price s l'EAKI o f eight een month s and two yea rs ago, there is the practical certai nty that the mo ney to-day buys at leas t as much and po ssibly more . In any case, wheth er you are buyer or seller, put yo ur self in touch wit h Bond Street . Y ou wi ll not re g ret it. F or the benefit of woulclbe sellers, I shou ld like to ment ion that last Monday's sale was th e best I ha ve held fo r six feeling that financ ial months. Bidding was keener, pri ces higher, and altngct her a distinct depres~ion was a thin g o f the- past.

Seventy years later, the same questions are askedand Harmers offer the same answers. We all view our great hobby in the reflec tion of the financial pool : Are stamps for my enjoy ment and do I keep them for this reason-or are they an investment and I will hold on to them becau se prices are down from a few years ago? Fine question s need ing profound thought. If the latter, just ask yourself: Can I " do better "?

The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders (including a dispute between a floor bidder and the auctionee r acting on behalf of a mail bidder, consignor or vendor ,) the auctioneer alone shall determine who is the successfu l bidder and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the sale , the auctioneer's sale records shall be conclus ive. On all lots sold, a comm ission of 15% on the hamme r price is payable by the buyer.

(b) All lots are offered subject to a reserve price . The auctioneer may implement such reserve price . The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the cons ignor vendor. (c) It may also be assumed that all consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their stamps and Harmers therefore has a security interest over and above the normal auction commiss ion . (d) Purchases made by a cons ignor or vendor or his agent on his own lots shall be cons idered as a sale subject to commissions and sales tax as applicable. (e) Agents are responsible for all purchases made on beha lf of their clients , unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing prior to the auction .

Payment of the purchase price , or such part there of as Harmers shall require , shall be made by the purchaser in such manner as Harmers may determ ine. The name and address of the purchaser of each lot shall be given to the auctioneer immediately following the sale of such lot. (b) Mail Bidde rs. A successful mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased . Before Harmers will send such lots, payment in full must be received by Harmers within three (3) business days of receipt of the aforesaid notification by the mail bidder . However, a purchaser known to Harmers , or who furnishes satisfactory references , may at Harmers option , have purchases delivered or forwarded for immediate payment (by a dollar draft on a U.S. bank in the case of overseas purchasers) . Mailed delivery will be to the address on the bid sheet and proof by Harmers of receipt of a sending at the advised address shall constitute delivery. All charges for handling , delive ry and insurance (obtained by Harmers on behalf of the purchaser) sha ll be added to the purchase price; a minimum charge of $1 .00 will be made . Risk of loss in trans it shall be on the purchaser . (c) Where an opinion of a generally recognized authority is desired, the time for payment may be extended in accord with and subject to Condition of Sale 8. Title shall not pass to the purchaser until full payment has been received by Harme rs as agents for the consignor or vendor . (a) Purchase rs agree to pay for lots as spec ified in Condition of Sale 4 (or as the same may be modified by Condition of Sale 8), and no credit is extended ; a late payment charge of 2% for the first month and 2 1/2% for each succeeding month compounded shall be added if payment is not made in accordance with the aforesaid condit ions . (b) In the event that a bidder shall fail to comply with these Conditions of Sale ("Non-Comp lying Bidder") , then , as to any lot with respect to which such failure to comply occurs , Harmers may, in its sole discretion , reoffer such lot during the same auction or at an auction at a later time , or by private treaty at such time as Harmers , in its sole discretion , deems appropriate and the Non-Complying Bidder shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the hammer price and the net proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser , whether at auction or by private treaty, as well as for all costs and expenses of both sales , all other charges due thereunder , including comm issions with respect to both sales , whether payable to Harmers or to a third party and all incidental damages. It shall be in Harmers' sole disc retion to determ ine whether to re-offer the lot the retofore hammered-down to a Non-Complying Bidder at the same auction , or by private treaty in due course , or at a subsequent auction conducted by Harmers . In no event shall any surplus arising from the sale of a re-offered lot be payable to a Non-Complying Bidder. (c) A defaulting purchaser shall be deemed to have granted Harmers a secu rity interest in property in Harmers possession owned by such purchaser. Harmers shall have all of the rights afforded a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such property an may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by it for the account of, or due from Harmers to such purchaser . (d) If Harmers takes any legal steps to secure payment of a delinquent account , the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all legal and other expenses incurred by Harmers to secure such payment , including but not limited to a reasonable allowance for attorneys' fees . For purposes of this paragraph , the term legal steps shall be deemed lo include any and all consultation by Harmers with its attorneys with respect to al matters arising out of a delinque nt accou nt.

If an opinion of a generally recognized authority is desired , the period of time within which a lot must be received by Harmers will be extend ed in accordance with Condition of Sale 8. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by reference to a generally recognized authority , and Harmers thereupon undertakes to re-offer the lot with a description identical to the descr iption disputed , the Returning Purchaser shall be liable for the deficiency , if any, between the proceeds of the sale to the Returning Purchaser and the proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser , as well as for all costs and expenses of the re-sale, including commiss ion , and all incidental damages. Any lot, the descr iption of which is disputed , must be returned intact in the cond ition received by the purchaser .
