THE PLACING OF A BID SHALL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONDITIONS OF SALE CONDITIONS OF SALE BIDDING 1. All bids are per lot, as numbered in the catalogue. Harmers of New York Inc. (hereinafter " Harmers" ) reserves the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale, to divide a lot or to group two or more lots.

2 . The highest bidder shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders , the decision of the auctioneer as to the successful bidder or the re-offering or resale of the lot in dispute shall rest entirely in the judgment of the auctioneer .

3. The auctioneer shall regulate the bidding and reserves the right to refuse any bid believed by him not to be made in good faith .

PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES Payment for lots, Including those on which opinions are desired under Condition of Sale 8, shall be made as follows : (a) FLOOR BIDDERS. Th~ name and address of the buyer of each lot shall be given to the auctioneer immediately following the sale of such lot. Payment of the entire purchase price, or part thereof , shall be made by the buyer in such manner as Harmers may determine . (b) MAIL BIDDERS.

4.

QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY 7. Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described based on individual description as modified by any specific notations in this catalogue including (but not restricted to) " Key to Cataloguing " . (a) QUALITY. Any lot , description of which is incorrect , is returnable within two weeks of receipt and must be received by Harmers within four weeks from date of the auction . If the opinion of a mutually acceptable authority is desired, this period will be extended as noted in Condition 8. All disputed lots must be returned intact in the condition received . The following lots are not returnable except at the discretion of Harmers : lots from buyers who had the opportunity to examine them before the auction ; stamps on account of appearance when they are illustrated in this catalogue .

MAJOR ABBREVIATIONS SE = Straight Edge; s.l. = straight-line ; c.d.s. = Circular Date Stamp ; c.t.o. = Cancelled to Order ; F.D.C. = First Day Cover CONDITION The various gradings of stamps are , in order : su perb ; extre mely fine ; very fine ; fine; fair A lot described as " fair " is so listed either by reason of general appearance or more often because of a small fault or faults , such as a crease , thin spot , short or missing perf , perforat ed into , cut into , etc.

In the case of sets , large blocks , sheets , etc. , the condition quoted represents the average and quality above and below this standard ca n be expected .

Mixed condition : In large lots, the condition is generally expected to range from fair to at best fine. Serious defects can be expected .

Minor folding and climatic staining are to be expected in many of the covers and are not mentioned unless they are unsightly.

N.H. L.H. O .G. PART O .G. Shaded portion can represent an actual hinge or the area disturbed by a hinge.

Never hinged - unused with original gum in Post Office state and unmounted .

Lightly hinged - unused with full original gum showing some evidence of a previous hinge , which may be present in part or entirely removed .

Original gum - unused with original gum somewhat disturbed by previous hinging which may still be present.

Part original gum.

Unused without gum (unless gum is mentioned).

Unused without gum , as issued.

BLOCKS OR SHEETS AND THEIR GUM Minor separations are the rule , rather than the exception , in the case of blocks or sheets of any size . A few separations-around two perts per row-do not affect the value of a block or sheet and are not grounds for the return of a lot.

Blocks of four that have two stamps o.g . and two stamps n.h. are descr ibed " n.h.(2)/o.g.(2). " PAIRS

All pairs are horizontal , unless otherw ise mentioned .

CATALOGUE NUMBERS The catalogue numbers of the contents of the lots are given in parentheses immediately following the descriptions , but in bulky lots only the range of issue is shown .

CATALOGUE VALUES The final co lumn shows the catalogue value of the lot. This is shown in parentheses where , in the opinion of the auctioneer, the market value exceeds this figure .

ESTIMATED VALUES If an estimated cash value is given , it is shown in the description and always indicated by the abbreviation "Est. Cash Val." It is used where the lot is large or where the actual value has little relation to the catalogue price.

It represents the auctioneer's appraisal of the true MARKET value of the lot and the afigure is invariably close to the actual realization . It is useless for mail bidders to list any bids that are only a low proportion of such estimates.
