Introduction The “Bedford” Collection is one of the most exciting properties we have handled at H.R. Harmer in quite some time. This first catalogue, focusing on the United States and Canada, is a small fraction of what is to come in the next year (this fall we will be offering the second part of the “Bedford” Collection, Great Britain and Commonwealth). In many cases, while assembling this collection, a special emphasis was put on centering, multiples, and plate proofs. From high-denomination classics to modern errors, the “Bedford” Collection includes stamps to fit into very nearly every collection. It has been an absolute pleasure to have a hand in putting together this catalogue. The United States proofs and essays are certainly a highlight of the “Bedford” Collection, with very nearly every 19th Century issue represented. Of particular note are the rare 24c, 30c, and 90c 1860 imperforates (lot 1014), the 1861 24c “First Color (formerly Scott #60; lot 1039), and a beautiful block of four of the 1895 $5 imperforate plate proof (lot 1107)—although numerous other items could easily be mentioned as well. Following the proofs and essays come the issued stamps, and again the “Bedford” Collection includes many eye-catching pieces. Amongst the wonderful highdenomination blocks of four are the 1860 24c (#37, lot 1132), 1861 90c (#72, lot 1157), and 1872 90c (#155, lot 1201). More modern but no less rare are a 13c on bluish paper graded 90 (lot 1277) and a 10c Panama-Pacific in the superlative grade of 100 (lot 1282). The back of the book is also nicely represented with airpost, special delivery, and parcel post issues. I’d be remiss to not also mention the spectacular block of six of the $2 green Pony Express stamp, last sold by H.R. Harmer at the New York-2016 show (lot 1390). It has been a while since H.R. Harmer has offered such a nice selection of Canadian material. From the Pence issues through the semi-official airmails, the “Bedford” Collection nicely covers the country. Again, blocks of four are some of the major highlights (such as the $1 Jubilee, lot 1598), as are the imperforates (with many hailing from the Brigham Collection). This second half of the catalogue is rounded out by the Canadian Provinces, again replete in rarities. As happy as I am to present the first part of the “Bedford” Collection, I am even more excited knowing that there are at least two more catalogues to follow (each of which will be filled with similarly appealing material). This collector certainly had an eye for the attractive, and it is my hope that this catalogue adequately demonstrates that fact. Charles Epting New Rochelle, New York February 2021 3

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.

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. (iii) Where an opinion of a generally recognized authority is desired, payment is still due within ten (10) business days of auction. We will hold the funds while we send the items to the recognized authorities. (b) Payment is accepted in the form of (i) Check in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. If payment is made by check, Harmer’s reserves the right to hold shipment/delivery for up to ten (10) business days while it clears. (ii) By wire transfer. 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. (a) If a lot is certified by a generally recognized authority to be other than as described: (i) the sale (and the invoice with respect thereto, if outstanding) will be cancelled; an (ii) to the extent set forth in Condition of Sale 9, payment of the expense of certification will be made to the purchaser. (iii) in the event any item "not as described,” the buyer will be refunded the purchase price and certification fee up to $500 unless otherwise agreed. (b) Any lot with a P.F. or PSE certificate issued in the last six years is not eligible for extension.
