Collections

Introduction There are certain stamp collections out there which are hyper-focused in scope and comprehensive in treatment, but which do not contain enough material for a single-owner sale. While leafing through H.R. Harmer catalogues from years past I love seeing how many of these sorts of collections we’ve offered over the years, and I’m very proud for three such collections to be included here. Specific introduction precede the Joe Pryluck Collection of Surcharged Postal Stationery Part II, the Josh Furman Collection of Precancelled Postal Cards, and the David Brookler Collection of Star Cancels.

Amongst the postal history section of this catalogue are a remarkably beautiful cornercard from Pleasant Grove, Maryland postmaster E.S. Zevely (lot 2227), a delightful selection of early-20th Century advertising postcards (lots 22462257), and a strong collection of AEF covers (lots 2275-2285).

And lastly, this catalogue includes a strong showing of collection lots to fit every interest level and budget. Special attention should be paid to the postal stationery lots (some of which are ex-Pryluck) and United States postal history lots, which certainly will prove interesting to dealers or collectors. Images of as many collection lots as possible will be available on our website prior to the sale.

With this catalogue and the first part of the “Bedford” Collection finally completed, we at H.R. Harmer will now turn our attention to June, when we will have a general sale of stamps and covers in addition to the Provera Collection of United States Stamps and Covers Part II, the Dr. Larry C. Parks Collection of Postal Stationery Part I (British Commonwealth), the Don Peterson Collection of Spanish Philippines 1871-1898, and the “Erivan” Collection of United and Confederate States Postal History Part V. While we anticipate those sales will keep us busy enough, there is still time to consign to our June or November sales.

As always we appreciate the support and patronage of our clients around the world, especially during these unusual times.

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.

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.

H.R. Harmer, GPN, Inc. Public Auction No. 3042 Session 1

Joe Pryluck Collection of United States Surcharged Postal Stationery Part II (Lots 2001-2046) The following lots comprise the balance of the Joe Pryluck Collection of United States Surcharged Postal Stationery. For each lot we have done our best to accurately count the number of each UPSS number present, although with such a large volume of material some slight variations are to be expected. We have only identified rare watermarks where we feel it is most important; if two common watermark varieties exist for a certain catalogue number, it is likely that both are present.

Likewise we have only included catalogue-listed errors and varieties, although many lots contain albinos, aberrant surcharges, and other curiosities. Multiplesurcharge errors must feature a portion of each surcharge touching the indicia.

When a second surcharge is located elsewhere on the envelope, we have not included it in our count. The quality of Joe Pryluck’s material is, in general, excellent, but as always when dealing with century-old envelopes some minor toning or creasing will occasionally be encountered.

As anyone who knew Joe Pryluck can appreciate, these lots represent countless hours of dedicated collecting and study, and as such are very nearly impossible to duplicate. For the collector or dealer of 20th Century United States postal stationery they represent an unprecedented opportunity to acquire major portions of a collection which will most likely never be matched.

Josh Furman Collection of Precancelled Postal Cards The following 29 lots (Lots 2051-2079) represent what is almost certainly the most comprehensive offering of precancelled postal cards ever. These cards are deceptively rare—whereas precancelled stamps exist in huge quantities and can be found in just about every beginner stamp collection, precancelled postal cards are only rarely encountered by collectors. Their scarcity can, in large part, be explained by the fact that they were often produced to promote one-time events: meetings, special sales, death of a member, auctions, county fairs, and so forth.

Therefore there was little reason to keep a card once the event had passed, and the overwhelming majority of such cards ever printed were therefore trashed.

The standard reference for these cards is U.S. Precanceled Postal Cards 18741961, published in 2020 by the United Postal Stationery Society and edited by John Furman.

The ranch was the birthplace of the 101 Ranch Wild West Show whose cast, over its history, included Lillian Smith, Bill Pickett, Bessie Herberg, Bee Ho Gray, Tom Mix, Jack Hoxie, Mexican Joe, Ross Hettan, and an elderly Buffalo Bill. It was also one of the early focal points of the oil rush in northeastern Oklahoma (the oil company initially formed went on to become today’s ConocoPhillips). It was the largest diversified farm and ranch in America at the time. Bill Pickett’s grave and the White Eagle Monument are located on the ranch grounds.

THE DAVID BROOKLER COLLECTION

The David Brookler Collection of Star Cancels Including Additional Fancy Cancels On- and Off-Cover

David Brookler’s “A Taxonomy of Star Cancellations” introduced a new methodology of identifying and classifying all United States cancellations which incorporate stars into their designs. Amongst the multitudes of such cancellations are some of the most celebrated American postal markings, such as the 5c and 10c stampless-era markings from Huntsville, Alabama (lots 2115-2117) and the Banknote-era precancel of Glen Allen, Virginia (lots 2114 and 2131). In addition to just star cancels, this collection includes a number of other attractive and desirable fancy cancels, being offered both as single lots and collections. We especially encourage state postal history collectors and dealers to view images of nearly all of the lots on our website.

More information about Brookler’s collection can be found at his website, which we encourage all prospective bidders to visit: starcancels.azurewebsites.net

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.

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.
