Lots described as being “mixed” quality or condition should be expected to contain some faulty material.

A Start Price is given for each lot. We do not accept any bids below the start price.

Introduction I joined the H.R. Harmer team shortly before our 3009th Sale (May 2016). We’re now onto Sales 3036-3039—a total of 30 catalogues in four and a half years. Every catalogue production cycle presents its own unique challenges—and certainly the first half of 2020 proved difficult, with us having to coordinate scanning, layout, and editing remotely over numerous Skype calls. The work that went into producing these catalogues, however, made our spring/summer sales look like a cakewalk. With quarantine restrictions in place in New York, we have been unable to bring our usual catalogue design team into Manhattan; so rather than bringing the design team to our office, we decided to bring our office to the design team. Thomas and Tonya Rhein, who miraculously transform plain text and images into something we are proud to send to our customers, welcomed us into their home in St. Joseph, Missouri. It is now the end of a week and a half here, and the finish line is in sight. Their hospitality (and their proximity to Big Daddy & Sons BBQ) has been such that I’m now considering moving all future catalogue productions to Missouri. Bill Bergstrom has been the backbone of our describing team for much longer than I’ve been with H.R. Harmer, but his contributions to this current slate of catalogues are above and beyond even what has been asked of him in the past. I know Bill’s humility is such that he will take issue with me mentioning him here, but I can honestly say that what he has accomplished in 10 days here is monumental and will probably never be surpassed. I’d also be remiss if I did not thank Angela Linsinbigler for holding down the office in Manhattan in my absence. As for the sale itself, we have what I believe is our nicest offering of United States mint stamps in quite some time, thanks to three separate properties (two comprised of singles, one of blocks). There are also strong sections of Canada, Ceylon, and Monaco, all of which I’ve had an enjoyable time studying while they’ve been in our office. If the collections session seems a bit smaller than usual, it’s because much of the material currently in our office is being prepared for a February 2021 sale—much nearer than the usual six months between our auctions. In the meantime, we invite you to browse the selection of United States, British Commonwealth, and foreign stamps, covers, and collections here before you. While these are certainly unprecedented times for us all, please know that H.R. Harmer’s commitment to quality and competence in philatelic auctions is unwavering. Charles Epting St. Joseph, MO October 2020 Extra special thanks to: Big Daddy & Sons BBQ Jim Pallone and Jeff Keyasko at the J.C. Wyatt House Gold-N-Glaze Donuts (since 1938)

UX9d, 1886 1c Black on salmon pink, mint card, Very Fine, rare and attractive variety, there has been some discussion that the pink stock was used as a marker to count stacks of 500 sheets, although Bill Falberg‘s article in the July/August 2012 issue of Postal Stationery ("How I Would Handle The Salmon Pink Cards," Vol. 54, No. 4, page 157) dispels this myth; instead it is likely that the printer Daggett, who also printed registry return receipt cards for the Post Office Department, simply inadvertently mixed the paper stock (Scott $1,500)

Already a wealthy merchant, at 37 he married Miriam Likelike, the nineteen-year-old greatgranddaughter of chief Kepo‘okalani, a cousin of King Kamehameha I. This marriage brought him into the midst of Hawaiian royalty and governmental affairs when his wife‘s brother, David Kalakaua, became king in 1874. The King appointed Cleghorn to the House of Nobles and upon the death of John Dominis (Photo = 1 110) in 1891, Queen Lili‘uokalani made him governor of Oahu.

Andersonville prison in south Georgia was thought to be in the path of Sherman and the Confederate prison authorities determined to relocate the approximately 30,000 Union prisoners then at Andersonville. Because Florence had three railroads and was thought to be secure, it was chosen as a site for a newly constructed prison. To keep the Union soldiers in order during relocation, they were told that they were to be paroled. Many of those who were unable to walk or not stable enough to travel were left behind in Andersonville. Of the total number of prisoners that passed through the Florence Stockade, 2,802 Union soldiers died there and most were buried in unmarked trenches in what would become the Florence National Cemetery after the war.

Kenney was held prisoner at Ligon‘s Tobacco Warehouse after capture at the Battle of Ball‘s Bluff (he was exchanged on Feb. 19, 1862 and subsequently killed in action on June 30 at White Oak Swamp), any covers to or from Ligon‘s are elusive and flag-of-truce covers sent via Confederate controlled Norfolk are particularly scarce. John. L. Ligon‘s Tobacco Warehouse was confiscated during the early part of 1861 and was used as a prison for Federal soldiers. This building later became General Hospital #23. This building was at times used as a hospital for Libby Prison and for baggage storage. Prison Depot was also called Ligon‘s Factory Hospital, Liggon Factory Hospital, Ligion Factory Hospital, Prison Depot, and Prison No. 1. It was formerly the tobacco factory of John L. Ligon and had 45 employees. Prison Depot was located at the southeast corner of 25th and Main Streets. Charles Winder (1829-62), was a career US Army officer and a Confederate general who was killed in action during the Battle of Cedar Mountain.

1864 Camp Oglethorpe Prison Letter, envelope addressed to "Mrs E R McNary/ Washington Pa" with US 1861 3c Rose (65) tied by cork killer with a nice strike of "Old Point Comfort Va Jul 24" cds alongside, ms on back side "Pa‘s prisoner letters/ May 4th 1864" and with the original enclosure datelined "Macon Georgia/ May 4 1864" (home of the Camp Oglethorpe Prison), Very Fine and choice; the Oglethorpe prison did not open until May 1, 1864, likely making this letter the earliest known from the prison. This cover pictured and described, along with other covers in the McNary correspondence, in "Confederate Philatelist" Vol 6 No 10 (Oct 1961, the original journal is included with the lot). Lt. McNary‘s service in the Pennsylvania 103rd Regiment Volunteers is also described in detail including his capture during action at Plymouth NC, transport to Andersonville Prison, and subsequent transfer to Oglethorpe. Camp Oglethorpe Prison was located near Macon, Georgia. It was used to confine Union military officers during the last full year of the Civil War, 1864. The officers survived well. No ill-treatment was noted by the over 1,600 officers confined at Macon. Only one officer was shot and killed by a Confederate sentinel for crossing the dead line. The camp was located south of Macon on a sandy incline formerly used as the county fairgrounds. Shelter was provided for the Union prisoners as well as water and wood for heating. The old Floral Hall, a one-story frame building located in the center of the fairground, was used to house 200 men. A stockade 16 feet high and similar in construction to the Andersonville stockade, surrounded the enclosure. A raid on Macon in late July by General George Stoneman‘s cavalry persuaded Confederate authorities to remove prisoners from Macon to Charleston and Savannah. By the end of September 1864, the prison virtually ceased operation.

Ezra Clark, Middletown Conn", Very Fine and choice, covers actually endorsed "Libby Prison" are scarce; signed Kaufmann Libby Prison was used almost exclusively for officers, though it was also the receiving depot for prisoners through Richmond. Thus, enlisted men would come to Libby Prison, be registered as POWs, and then be transferred elsewhere (Belle Isle, Pemberton, etc). The officers who stayed at Libby were crowded inside a three-story former tobacco factory in sparsely furnished rooms that exposed them to the elements; they often also suffered from severe food shortages. Shortly after a Feb 1864 prison break, Confederate officials began transferring Libby‘s population to Georgia, with the facility being used as a place of temporary confinement for the next year. After Richmond fell on April 2, 1865, former Confederate officials became Libby‘s newest inmates

One of the Camp‘s most notable achievements involved facing down feared Confederate raider, John Hunt Morgan. The camp also included a small prisoner of war camp.

Probably we will hear in two or three days...", F-VF, interesting letter During the civil war, to avoid being burdened with large numbers of prisoners, armies in the field would "parole" soldiers that they had captured, releasing them on their oath that they would perform no military service until formally exchanged for prisoners of war held or paroled by the other side. In the early part of the war, many paroled men would simply go home, or elsewhere, not to be found when time came for the exchange. Originally intended as a "camp of instruction," a camp for paroled prisoners was established near Annapolis, Maryland, in the summer of 1862 and came to be known as Camp Parole. The camp was gradually transformed into a way station for paroled men and exchanged prisoners moving to their homes or to other camps. Many remained as hospital patients until they died or were (Photo = 1 138) able to travel. Camp Parole was vacated by July 18, 1865.

WORLDWIDE IN FOUR MINKUS SUPREME GLOBALS. four volumes covering most parts of the alphabet, although it appears that the bulk of the interest is in the "I-N" volume, absolutely loaded with stamps, better countries including Japan, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, mix of mint and used, classic issues and more modern throughout (to about 1966), no telling what could be hidden in an oldtime collection like this but our guess is that with close examination these albums could really pay off, mixed condition but plenty of attractive stamps

WORLDWIDE COLLECTION IN TWO MONSTER MINKUS GLOBAL ALBUMS. pages to about 1974, volume one goes to Hungary and volume two begins with Japan (no idea what happened to the "I" counties), absolutely loaded with stamps (mostly post-1900 but some earlier stamps definitely present), not every country included (we notice no France, Germany, or Great Britain, for example), but what is here is generally well-represented, some nice Belgium, Greece, Hungary, Russia, and Spain; a nice chance for a dealer to replenish their stock or a collector to fill some gaps in their albums, close inspection necessary as there’s no telling what may be hiding in here, usual mixed condition but VG-VF overall

MYSTERY BOX. balance of the consignment of a very advanced and knowledgable collector

3684

INTACT STAMP COLLECTION FROM 1870. small notebook, inscription at front indicates it was formed beginning in 1870 (some stamps into the early 1870s), and as was the custom at the time the stamps are severely glued down (may or may not be salvageable), we note many better early stamps, countries include Great Britain (with Penny Black), Canada, Australian States, New Zealand, Hong Kong, German States, Spain, Switzerland, Italian States, United States with many revenues, interesting selection of cinderellas/advertising labels in the back, however in our opinion the stamps themselves are of only moderate importance; rather, this album is a rare window into the early days of our hobby, when the stamps of the entire world could conceivably fit into a notebook

3685

*/** 3

WORLDWIDE G-V COLLECTION. begins with Greece and runs through Venezuela, jam-packed with mid-20th century stamps, mix of mint and used, we recommend taking a look at Italy and colonies and Japan, many useful stamps and sets to be found throughout, generally VG-VF, best to view before bidding

3686

WORLDWIDE IN SCOTT JUNIOR ALBUM. album has certainly seen better days but that doesn‘t mean the stamps aren‘t worth a look, many countries picked over but still some worthwhile pockets, we recommend looking at China and Germany if nothing else, condition a bit rough, still an interesting old-time collection that may have some life left in it if given the proper effort

WORLDWIDE "MODERN" STAMP ALBUM. 1937 edition and appears to have been compiled around that year, probably the most strength in the mid-1930s with some mint Italy and colonies singles/sets, most corners of the globe represented, mixed condition as usual with this type of childhood collection, we haven’t spotted any surprises but a close inspection may turn something up

BALANCE OF A SPRAWLING ESTATE. includes manila folders of such diverse areas as French semipostals, Germany, Bohemia & Moravia, Liberia, Dutch Antilles, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, and Mexico, priced by a dealer in around 1992 but mostly appears to have been picked over, mix of mint and used, worth a look to see what is left

3689

WORLDWIDE A-E ON HOMEMADE PAGES. primarily early-20th century issues, majority used but some mint mixed in, very clean and F-VF, our guess is the Bosnia might hold the most interest but we recommend viewing to see for yourself

Terms and conditions BIDDING 1.

Unless announced otherwise by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the printed Catalog. H.R. Harmer, as agent for the consignor or vendor, shall regulate the bidding and shall determine the manner in which the bidding shall be conducted. Harmer 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 18% 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 omissions 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.

fee. This fee will be added to the total of the invoice including hammer price, buyer’s premium, shipping and other applicable taxes and fees.

TITLE; DEFAULT 5.

(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. (f ) HRHarmer further reserves the right to ban any bidder from participation in its’ sales for any reason deemed appropriate in its’ sole discretion. (g) HRHarmer retains the right to demand a cash deposit from anyone prior to bidder registration and/or to demand payment at the time the lot is Hammered down to the highest bidder, for any reason whatsoever. In the event that any buyer refuses or fails to make payment in cash for any lot at the time it is knocked down to him, the auctioneer reserves the right to reoffer the lot for sale to the highest bidder.

(b) In addition to other remedies available to us by law, we reserve the right to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 2% per month if payment is not made in accordance with the conditions set forth herein. Unless otherwise agreed by Harmers, all property must be removed from our premises by the purchaser at his expense not later than 10 business days following its sale. (c) If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the purchaser, the purchaser will be in default and in addition to any and all other remedies available to us and the Consignor by law, including, without limitation, the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price, including all fees, charges and expenses more fully set forth herein, we, at our option, may (x) cancel the sale of that, or any other lot or lots sold to the defaulting purchaser at the same or any other auction, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser, or (y) resell the purchased property, whether at public auction or by private sale, or (z) effect any combination thereof. In any case, the purchaser will be liable for any deficiency, any and all costs, handling charges, late charges, expenses of both sales, our commissions on both sales at our regular rates, legal fees and expenses, collection fees and incidental damages. We may, in our sole discretion, apply any proceeds of sale then due or thereafter becoming due to the purchaser from us or any affiliated company, or any payment made by the purchaser to us or any affiliated company, whether or not intended to reduce the purchaser’s obligations with respect to the unpaid lot or lots, to the deficiency and any other amounts due to us or any affiliated companies.

(d) Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected good funds. Any claims relating to any purchase, including any claims under the Conditions of Sale, must be presented directly to Harmer. In the event the purchaser fails to pay any or all of the total purchase price for any lot and Harmer nonetheless elects to pay the Consignor any portion of the sale proceeds, the purchaser acknowledges that Harmers shall have all of the rights of the Consignor to pursue the purchaser for any amounts paid to the Consignor, whether at law, in equity, or under these Conditions of Sale.

EXHIBITION AND INSPECTION OF LOTS; QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY 7.

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 Catalog).

(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.

(vii) Multiple stamp/item lots including sets of 15 or more stamps, collections, large lots and group lots, whether certified or not, as sold "As Is” and are not returnable for any reason. (d) Authenticity.

Proof that a generally recognized authority declines to express an opinion is not 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.

All lots to be sent out on extension must be paid in advance and sub mitted by H.R. Harmer.
