The "HOHENZOLLERN" Collection Seldom do German Area Collections offering such content and quality escape the European Continent and find their way to the United States.

The "Hohenzollern" Auction provides the perfect occasion for collectors in the United States to be more directly and deeply involved in the German Offices and Colonies market.

"Postfrisch" As will be noticed, the vast majority of the rare stamps of this area are Never Hinged. In addition, complete sets in such superior condition present the market with an opportunity unlikely to occur for years to come.

"Briefstucke" Amazingly virtually every used stamp in this spectacular collection is tied "on piece" and generally with superior strikes of of various cancels. This exceptional quality is reflected in the 20% premium placed on the catalogue values by the Michel catalogue and separates this material from the general run-of-the-mill Colonial offerings that normally greets the public's eye.

Collectors will also be pleasantly surprised by the huge number of certificates and handstamps.

We hope you enjoy this catalogue. To collectors of German Offices and Colonies and those embarking on collecting this fascinating area, we wish you success in your bidding.

CONDITIONS OF SALE THE PLACING OF A BID SHALL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.

2.

3.

BIDDING Unless announced otherwise by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the printed Catalogue . H.R. Harmer, Inc. (hereinafter "Harmers"), License #s 672829, 780870, as agent for the consignor or vendor, shall regulate the bidding and shall determine the manner in which the bidding shall be conducted.

Harmers reserves the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale (without liability to any potential purchaser or agent), to re-offer any withdrawn lot, to divide a lot or to group two or more lots belonging to the same consignor or vendor, and to refuse any bid believed not made in good faith.

The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders (including a dispute between a floor bidder and the auctioneer acting on behalf of a mail bidder, consignor or vendor), the auctioneer alone shall determine who is the successful bidder and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the sale , the auctioneer 's sale records shall be conclusive. On all lots sold , a commission of 15% on the hammer price is payable by the buyer . (a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients (and consignors or vendors) but shall not be liable for errors and omissio ns in executing instructions to bid, however received, and whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or agent or those of the auctioneer . (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 consignor 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 commission. (d) Purchases made by a consignor or vendor or his agent on his own lots shall be considered as a sale subject to commissions and sales tax as applicable. (e) Agents are responsible for all purchases made on behalf of their clients , unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing prior to the auction .

EXHIBITION AND INSPECTION OF LOTS ; QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY 7. (a) On Premises Inspection and Postal Viewing . Ample opportunity is given for on premises inspection prior to the auction date , and, upon written request and at Harmers discretion, for inspection by postal viewing (all as detailed elsewhere in this Catalogue) . (b) Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described , based on individual description as modified by any specific notations in this Catalogue , including but not restricted to the section entitled "Key to Cataloguing ". (c) Quality . Any lot which a purchaser considers to be incorrectly described may be returned to Harmers within two weeks of its receipt by such purchaser ("Returning Purchaser''), provided , however , that the same is received by Harmers within four weeks of the date of the auction; however, Harmers may, in its discretion , refuse acceptance of such returned lot. 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 extended 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 description 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 commission , and all incidental damages . Any lot, the description of which is disputed , must be returned intact in the condition received by the purchaser. The following lots are not returnable except at the discret ion of Harmers : (i) lots from purchasers who attended the exhibition of the lots; (ii) lots examined by posta l viewers ; (iii) lots on account of their appea rance , if they are illustrated in this Catalogue; (iv) lots described as having repairs , defects or faults- for any reason; (v) U.S. stamps (through 1918} for reasons of paper inclusions, (vi)no encapsulated stamps unless originally offered in this condition . (d} Authenticity . Any lot which is declared otherwise than genuine by a generally recognized authority is returnable , provided such lot is received by Harmers within four weeks of the date of the auction . Proof that a generally recognized authority declines to express an opinion is normally grounds for the return of a lot. (e) Expenses incurred in the submission and the return of a lot under Conditions of Sale 7-9 are not refunded .

PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES Payment for lots, including those on which opinions are desired (Condition of Sale 8), shall be as follows: (a) Floor Bidders. 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 determine . The name and address of the purchaser of each lot shall be given to the auctioneer immediately following the sale of such lot.

8. (b) Mail Bidders . 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 .
