Introduction I first got to know Larry Parks through the Collectors Club of Southern California, a group which (prior to the pandemic) met once a month at a French restaurant in Los Angeles. One of the features of each meeting was a “show-and-tell,” where each member brought in an item from their collection that ideally related to the subject being presented. Sometimes it was easy to find such an item, but at other times the subject matter would be so obscure and niche that it was simply impractical to expect to find something relevant. I do not remember a single meeting when Larry was unable to bring in a cover that tied in perfectly to the presentation. Such is the breadth and scope of Larry’s collection, which touches on every corner of the globe and every era of history—from forerunners of the first stamped envelopes to 20th-century aerogrammes—and, in this catalogue specifically, from Aden to Zululand. I’m not sure that such a comprehensive representation of British Commonwealth postal stationery has ever appeared on the market at one time. Writing about a collection as magnificent as Larry’s is easy; trying to write about Larry in his absence is much more difficult. I only knew him for a couple of years, and I am envious of those collectors who knew him and his family for decades. He was genuinely one of the kindest, funniest, most generous and dignified men I have ever met. Last October, I got on a plane to Los Angeles with about 24-hour’s notice in order to spend an afternoon with Larry, his wife Sally, and his daughter Laurie Hickman. Regardless of where my career takes me, it was the most impactful and emotional day I can recall, and I imagine it will remain so for a very long time. I‘d like to thank the Parks family, especially Sally and Laurie, for their support and assistance in preparing this catalogue. Bill Bergstrom, who flew to California to view Larry’s collection and Library intact, deserves all of the credit for the descriptions contained herein. Additionally, I must mention the collectors who provided aid in the preparation of this catalogue, including Dan Walker and (especially) Wayne Menuz. This catalogue was truly a collaborative effort, and I just hope it does justice to a great collector and an even better person. Charles Epting New York City May 2021

Introduction A Genetic Problem I was born in the depth of the Depression, the first of three boys to a hard-working couple struggling to earn enough to keep us alive. My father did construction when he could find work. Mother had a large garden to can the vegetables, fruits, etc. We lived next door to an egg farm so often got cracked eggs and recently dead hens for food. At about age 7 I got a dollar from a relative for Christmas. It was the most money I had ever seen or owned. A neighbor boy showed me some WWI stuff in their garage and sold me a U.S. WWI gas mask for $1. I was afraid to tell my parents. I still have the mask, the plastic has turned to powder. I hadn‘t realized I had a problem: I was born with a Collector Gene. I loved to read and soon had a library of over 60 Big Little books. Adding to them were the Rover Boys (which I still have) which made me want to emulate them: camping in the woods, fishing, hunting, etc. I collected just about anything that didn’t cost money, which I didn‘t have. Just before WWII started there was suddenly work for my dad building military bases. He worked on Camp San Luis Obispo and lived in a home with a bunch of other workers in Morro Bay. Mother and her two boys lived in our tiny home in Van Nuys, CA. Dad became lonely for his family so they bought a 12 foot trailer that slept four (table folded down where my brother and I slept), small kitchenette and no bathroom. It was very stormy, rainy, flooding day and night. My mother hooked up the trailer and two children, ages about 7 and 5, drove up California Highway 1 to Morro Bay where we parked the trailer in the driveway where Dad was staying. The rain was a continuous downpour. Mother despaired of entertaining her brood but soon decided to buy each of us a small paperbacked stamp album and a packet of stamps which I quickly went through as most were common duplicated stamps. When I would get a nickel or dime I would walk downtown to the “5 and Dime” store where they had a large display of stamps from around the world. Those few seen through the transparent envelope were tantalizing but the majority inside were the same old worthless duplicated common stuff. Later on we moved back to Fallbrook, California where I was born so Dad could work on building Camp Pendleton. A classmate was a collector and gave me his Scott Junior World Wide Album that he had outgrown. The war was raging on, and I continued to collect militaria, especially as GI‘s returned with souvenirs. In 1949 as a senior in high school, at age 16, I lied about my age and joined the Marine Reserves (11th Tank Battalion). Graduating from high school in June 1950 I was soon caught up in the Korean War. Stationed nearby at Camp Del Mar in Oceanside and later Camp Pendleton for Infantry training after a one year extension of my two-year enlistment, I was ready for shipping out to Korea. I was taken off the bus and told by the Captain that since I had slightly less than one year to serve, I couldn‘t go to Korea unless I signed up for another four years. I told him no thank you because I had planned on going to college and becoming a physician. Being released from active duty in January 1952 I promptly signed up for community college where I met my wife to be.

As a medical student freshman at UCLA I would visit used book stores in Westwood at lunch time. There I found Harvey Cushing’s Pulitzer Prize winning biography of William Osler, the father of modern medicine. He was also a book collector of the rare early books of medicine, surgery, etc. I started collecting all of his publications I could afford. In those days there were stores of used medical equipment that had back rooms of old medical books. I could buy several armloads of books for a dollar or less. Our poor house started to fill. In 1964 I started practice in Thousand Oaks, California. A tiny, out of the way place that supplied wild animals to the movie industry. We now had 4 children including a newborn. When looking to keep our son, the oldest, busy I bought him a stamp album and packet of stamps. He quickly lost interest but a reawakening happened to me. The local newspaper had an ad running for several months that they were starting up a stamp club in town. I eventually attended and soon found myself the club president. I was mostly interested in early stamps, primarily India and Indian States, they were cheap, primitive and handmade. Then I had to have the earliest, so I bought Penny Blacks if under $5, leading to all the GB Stamps. This led to the history of the Post. I had to have the stamps on cover, then what about before stamps, thus I had to have Bishop Marks. What was the earliest? I had to have AQ Sheets, Sardinia Cavallini, New South Wales 1838 Sheets, etc. But there was more to it because Rowland Hill thought people would mostly want pre-stamped paper to use which opened the whole collecting area of Postal Stationery. Thus began a search for my first Mulready and then the whole wide world of Postal Stationery. Each of these steps required books that told the story as well as catalogs to sort the story. Thus each digression was a row or more of philatelic literature. Then the books became as important as the stamps and stationery and I wanted the earliest known, the most important, the classics, etc. This was all done on a very limited budget as I was working hard in my office seeing patients for $6 a visit, taking care of a wife and four growing children. I joined the United Postal Stationery Society in 1969 or 1970. After a few years I was asked to run for the Board. The society had no money and was floundering. The President said we need a Treasurer so I volunteered Sally, my wife, unbeknownst to her and before long we were running the whole Society, storing, and shipping publications, etc. During this time, Arthur Lewandowski, a long time dealer in worldwide aerograms died leaving $25,000 to the APS and the rest to the UPSS. My wife negotiated on the phone over the next year with his estate lawyer in New York. The end-result was a “shot in the arm” for the UPSS which has been going strong since. Now at the end of 87 years I have turned to my friend and fellow member of the Collectors Club of Southern California, Charles Epting of H.R. Harmer, to deal with a house filled with philatelic books and phantasies. A short, but fun filled life with a loving patient wife and children (including 6 grandchildren and some spouses). Larry C. Parks, MD October 2020

Terms and conditions BIDDING

TITLE; DEFAULT

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. (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.

PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES 4.

(a) Subject to any extension of credit (which shall be made in accordance with Harmers’ credit policies and requested prior to the commencement of the auction), payment for lots shall be as follows: (i) Floor Bidders. All floor bidders must register prior to the beginning of sale. All invoices to Floor Bidders shall be due on theday of the auction. (ii) Mail Bidders. A successful mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased. Payment is due within ten (10) business days of auction. 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 and delivery shall be added to your invoice. All shipments sent by Harmers are fully insured against loss in transit unless otherwise requested.

Harmers will credit your account with the actual USD s credited to our account net of any fees. (iii) By credit card (MasterCard, Discover or Visa). Payment by credit card is accepted as payment but will be subject to a 3% Convenience 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.

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 Catalog). (b) Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described, based on individual description as modified by any specific notations in this Catalog, 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 discretion of Harmers: (i) lots from purchasers who attended the exhibition of the lots; (ii) lots examined by postal viewers; (iii)lots on account of their appearance, if they are

illustrated in this Catalog; (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. (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. 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 not 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.

EXTENSION OF TIME 8.

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