Condition of Collections And Large Lots Obvious reprints

Valuations

Forgeries, fake cancels, and badly defective stamps are normally not included in catalog totals unless noted. However, as with any large group of stamps, some stamps may prove to be bogus, misidentified, or defective. Descriptions of quality are meant to apply to the overall condition of the lot. 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. All collection lots or lots containing in excess of 10 stamps offered in this auction are sold “as is” and are not returnable for any reason whatsoever. Please be certain to read the full Terms & Conditions of Sale at the rear of the catalog. All bidders will be bound by those Terms & Conditions of Sale.

Owner’s catalog value

S y m b o l s

In some cases an “owner’s catalog value” is given.

Such a figure is just that. An owner’s value may be useful as a guide but H.R. Harmer does not guarantee the accuracy of such a figure.

A – E – P – S – 1 1 – 1 – 2 – 1, 3 – 3 – 5 – 6 –

gum Stamps described as “mint” can be expected to have original gum (OG), but should be expected to be hinged unless specifically noted as never hinged (NH).

Autograph Essay Proof Specimen Mint, never hinged Mint, hinged, or without gum as issued Mint, no gum (unused) Mint & used used on piece cover

Expertizing marks We sometimes mention an expert’s signature or guarantee mark on a stamp. However, while we believe that the vast majority of stamps so described are genuine, H.R. Harmer implies no warranty to that effect.

All bids are in U.S. dollars.

No bids below the Start Price will be accepted.

Introduction This general sale follows closely on the heels of our April auctions, although the focus of these two sales varies greatly. Within the following pages, you’ll find specialized holdings of US postage due stamps (the nicest assortment of which we have offered in some time), steamboat markings, and Civil War patriotic covers, in addition to a generally strong showing of stamps and covers both domestic and foreign.

Jan Billion’s collection of Palestine postal history is remarkably comprehensive, and collectors of cancellations and foreign destinations will certainly find something of interest. With regards to the destinations very nearly every part of the planet is covered, with many ranging from scarce to rare. This is very obviously the work of an experienced collector, and we are proud to bring these covers to market. (As an aside, further offerings from Mr. Billion’s collection of the United Nations will be offered in the second half of the year.)

There are several other properties that deserve a mention, including Don Kesler’s collection of trains on stamps (Mr. Kesler was president of the Casey Jones Railroad Unit). There is also a new discovery of a Canadian 1870 1c Small Queen bisect used on wrapper, of which only a handful of examples are known.

As New York City continues to reopen we hope to once again welcome more bidders to our auctions, although the ease of viewing lots online and bidding over the phone or internet has obviously changed the face of auctions permanently. With this being said, we do hope that if you are able to attend even a session of our sale in person you will consider visiting our office.

Cook, Frederick (1865-1940, American explorer, physician, and ethnographer), ALS signed "Frederick A Cook" on 1912 two-page letter on Bangor House/ Bangoe Mane letterhead, to a Gerald Christy and referring to a US lecture tour, pages of letter torn and well repaired not affecting a bold signature; Cook claimed that he had discovered the North Pole in 1908, making him a controversial figure. His fellow American explorer Robert E. Peary is generally credited with having achieved this feat in 1909 and he publicly denounced Cook’s claim. Dr. Cook achieved fame as an explorer, serving as surgeon on Peary’s first Arctic expedition (1891–92) and leading others to explore and climb Denali (Mount McKinley; 1903–06).

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 able to travel. Camp (Photo = 1 28) Parole was vacated by July 18, 1865.‚

110L1, Chicago, Illinois, Moody’s Penny Dispatch, 1856 (1c) Black on glazed red, vertical strip of three, o.g., each stamp showing a different variety after "Dispatch": period (Type Ia), colon (Type Ib), and comma (Type Ic), which correspond to positions 3/5/7 in Scott Trepel’s plating of this issue (Chronicle Vol. 46, No. 4, November 1994), bright color with remarkably little of the oxidation so often seen on this type of paper, backstamped "SS&CCO". (Scott Stamp & Coin Company), Very Fine, this is the only recorded multiple of 110L1, and with only 19 stamps known on or off cover represents a significant portion of the total population; given the scarcity of Chicago local stamps in general (in no small part due to the Great Chicago Fire just 15 years after this stamp was printed) and this strip’s lovely appearance we believe it to be one of the most important of all local stamp multiples, 1999 Philatelic Foundation certificate, ex-Caspary, Lilly, Boker, and Golden (Scott $18,000 is outdated and based on a 1999 auction result; Scott also curiously lists a used strip of three although no such item is known).

3 var, 1851 12p Black, Sperati forgery, the unique example made by Sperati as a custom, special order in 1953, made from a genuine 12d "Specimen" overprinted stamp by removing the overprint, also includes a pair of genuine 12p Specimen plate proofs (3pi, 2017 Green Foundation certificate), as well as a clipping from a philatelic journal showing a 3p Beaver cover, ex-Sperati archives, that was apparently used as a model to make the forged cancel, Very Fine, an incredible rarity and one of the most desirable of all philatelic forgeries in our opinion No Canadian stamps were known at the time Sperati I was published, although this item is discussed in Sperati II. After removing the "Specimen" overprint, Sperati manipulated the paper so that the stamp had the correct vertical laid lines of the original. The cancel is also forged. This is the only known example and the only example of Sperati using this technique.

The French Consulate, situated close to the Old City, was oftentimes in a "no-man‘‘s land". A mail system was arranged by the French Consul, Rene Neuville, whereby mail deposited at the consulate would be driven by automobile to Amman, flown to Beirut and then on to France. He used postage and consular stamps he had on hand to frank the mail though this was not approved by the French government. There was some confusion when the mail arrived in France and few covers are known to have travelled this route. Leftover unused (Photo = 1 198) stamps were sold later by M. Neuville. ‚

Terms and conditions BIDDING

TITLE; DEFAULT

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.

5.

2.

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.

3.

(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. (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.

(a) Subject to the fulfillment of all of the conditions set forth herein, on the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer, and such bidder the reupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore, and (b) will pay the purchase price as set forth in Conditions of Sale 4. (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. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted and assigned to us and our affiliated companies, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of or owing to such purchaser in our possession or in the possession of any of our affiliated companies, and we may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to us or to any affiliated company of ours. We shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (UCC ). (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.
