How to Get the Most from Our Catalogue These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.

1.

Firstly, we have the lot number. Most lots have at least one illustration in the catalogue and on our website many will have multiple illustrations.

2.

The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g.

V Used, Very fine.

F Used, Fine G Used, Good H Used, Heavy U Used,quality unspecified P Proof W Unused, no gum D Piece * Cover, card S Specimen or Stamp (“Postmarks” lots) PS Postal Stationery B Booklets or Booklet Panes R Reprint

3.

The 3rd column contains the general description of the lot and should be self-evident with one exception.

When a catalogue value is extrapolated the value is followed by a ↕, e.g. $2000↕. Typical extrapolations are 40% of the catalogue value for hinged mint when the catalogue only provides values for MUH, 200% for MUH when the catalogue value is for mint hinged.

The following notes apply specifically to postmark description.

Whenever possible postmarks will be described in full, except that the top portion of a postmark is only spelt out when it differs from the post office name or requires some clarification. Bracketed shaded text within a description indicates that these characters cannot be read, while greyed characters are hard to read or are only partly present, as is the case when part of the postmark is on the edge of a stamp.

Very large or small letters are represented by large and small fonts respectively; small fonts are particularly used to indicate the presence of small nylon wheels in the datestamp. The following example illustrates these points: '[POST] OFFICE/21DE86/GARAH'.

After the forscription of the postmark we will indicate the overall quality of the cancel with a bracketed 2 character code. The first character is A-D where A is a fine clear postmark through to D which is barely legible. The second character is a number from 1 to 4 where 1 is complete including all the frame through to 4 where only 25% or less of the cancel is visible. For exceptional strikes we will further qualify the quality code with a ‘+’ and for items which are light etc the code will be qualified with a ‘-’.

For postmark lots the condition of the postmark is the most important aspect of our descriptions. Minor defects in the stamp or cover are mentioned only when the value of the item is significant. Naturally, major defects will always be described.

4.

The symbols in the second column, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.

5.

The last column is the estimate. The reserve is almost always 75% of the estimate and bids below the reserve will not usually be considered.

6.

No GST is added to the hammer price. The vendors have accepted responsibility for any tax payable.

7.

We use the following standardised abbreviations: og original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s) PPC picture postcard impt imprint mtd mounted provl provisional wmk watermark LDL large dateline (postmarks) SDL small dateline (postmarks) TLC,TRC,LLC,LRC Top Left Cnr, Top Right Cnr, Lower Left Cnr, Lower Right Cnr

Session 2 will commence at 3:30pm Dr William Mayo Collection of Worldwide Booklets.

Dr William Mayo was a passionate collector of booklets and keenly scoured dealer stocks and auction house catalogues around the world to track down items of interest. This relatively small but fascinating offering includes several rarities as well as a host of more unassuming items with estimates often belying their true scarcity.

Items of particular note include Lots #1104-05 Australia 1913 2/- BW #B7A x2, one with a cover from the remaindered stock of a previous issue, Lot #1130 Barbados 1938 2/- SG #SB7 in very fine condtion, Lot #1139 Canada 1900 25c SG #SB1 (Dr Mayo’s favourite item), Lot #1144 China 1917 $1 Chan #5 largely complete, Lot #1183 Luxembourg SG #SB1 - the world’s first booklet, Lot #1196 Panama 1912 1b50c Rogers #1 - one of only two known and Lot #1200 Pitcairns 1940 KGVI 4/8d SG #SB1. More modestly estimated items include the gorgeous Belgian Congo 1937 Scenes booklet, a scarce Barwini group, and popular Australian Territories modern issues.

The Mayo Collection presents a wonderful opportunity to indulge in an under-appreciated sector of the market, where truly rare items may be acquired for a relatively modest outlay. We heartily recommend your participation.

Phoenix Auctions - Friday 23 September 2016

Session 3 will commence at 4:30pm ‘Ambassador’ Collection of 1910-25 Issues for UPU Distribution, Part 1 - The ‘Specimens’.

We feel priviliged to present to the market this amazing collection, which is largely complete for British Commonwealth issues of the period including Ceylon and Straits Settlements ultra high value keyplates, British Africa high value bicolours including those from East Africa & Uganda, Kenya & Uganda, Sierra Leone & Zanzibar, unissued stamps including Lots #1451-2 Jamaica 1921 6d Abolition of Slavery for both watermarks, varieties with Lot #1356 Ceylon 1912-25 set to 20r, the top value with a light secondary specimen overprint and Lot #1506 Malta 1914-21 5/- Keyplate flaw; also Gibbons unlisted specimen overprints for shade or paper colour changes comprising Lot #1422 (Grenada 3d), Lot #1430 (Hong Kong 50c), Lot #1448 (Jamaica 1/-) & Lot #1521 (Montserrat 3d).

The British Commonwealth material is interspersed with foreign selections including China & Sinkiang specimen overprints, ‘MUESTRA’ overprints for Spain and Colonies and some Latin American countries, plus handstamped items including Greece 1923 Revolution issue (rare), Persia 1921-27 issues plus Turkey 1913-22 issues handstamped (or perforated) ‘SPECIMEN’.

The Ambassador collection, we believe, represents the best selection of 1910-25 specimens offered to the market for several years, and will appeal to both specimen specialists and to British Commonwealth KEVII/KGV collectors, particularly those looking to acquire elusive high values at modest outlay, as it can prove a very costly exercise purchasing the unoverprinted alternatives!
