FOREWORD

William Morgan and his son Hugh Morgan spent the better part of their adult lives focussed on the collections of Australia issues and through two generations established a collection of outstanding local and international importance. It has now been made available to the philatelic community through the decision to dispose of this collection by way of auction. William Matheson Morgan (1906-1972) was born in Adelaide and studied civil engineering at university there and up to 1940 worked for various mining companies in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, and served in the Royal Australian Air Force in northern Australia, Papua and New Guinea, before being demobilised and returning to S.E.C. to direct coal power projects in the Latrobe Valley. He was invited to join Western Mining Corporation Ltd. in 1956 and was appointed General Manager in 1958. Through the 1950s and 1960s the Company developed a number of ventures, diversifying into a number of different metals, and developing the Japanese market. He was appointed CMG in 1961 and retired in 1971. William Morgan’s passion for stamp collecting probably developed at an early age, but it does not seem to have been taken up as a serious pursuit until the early 1960s, from Hugh Morgan’s recollection. From pages in the collection that at this stage or shortly afterwards he benefitted from the advice of J.R.W. Purves with regard to the development of the collection. He joined The Royal Philatelic Society of Victoria in April 1970. A perusal of a number of the more significant items in the collection, whose history can be traced, indicates a period of sustained buying, both privately and at auction, between 1966 and 1971. His major interest was in the Kangaroo and King George V issues, and both these were specialised to a large degree, especially the former. Following William Morgan’s death on 2 February 1972, it was agreed that the stamp collection should pass to his son, Hugh Morgan, in view of his long-standing interest in philately. Hugh Matheson Morgan (born 1940) followed his father into Western Mining Corporation in 1976 as an Executive Director. In 1986 he became Managing Director, CEO in 1996 and retired in 2003. He was also a Director for 14 years on the board of the Reserve Bank of Australia. Hugh Morgan’s interest in stamp collecting developed in early childhood, but with the inheritance of his father’s collection the direction of specialism in Australian Commonwealth stamps was determined. He chose initially to concentrate on the decimal issues so as to complement the existing collection, but determined 1972 as a cut-off for the collection, this being the date of his father’s death and also a protest against what he saw as unnecessary proliferation of new issues. Hugh joined The Royal Philatelic Society of Victoria in January 1972. Business pressures resulted in little additional development of the collection before the mid 1980s, but from 1989, with the assistance of Mr. Tom Carter, selective acquisitions have been made to the collection. This coincided with a decision to exhibit the collection, which has involved the remounting of a large portion of the collection under Tom Carter’s guidance. 3

THE MORGAN COLLECTION OF AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH STAMPS

Proposed Designs for a Uniform Series of Postage Stamps In the period from late 1900 until 1912 numerous official and unofficial essays of wildly varying artistic merit or suitability were prepared and submitted to the Postmaster General’s Department. Some were entirely unsolicited and submitted with optimistic enthusiasm, while the majority were entriies in official stamp design competitions. They ranged from the crude and amateurish to beautiful examples of the highest quality. Not one of them was ultimately considered appropriate nor did any bear any direct relationship to the finally adopted design of the “Kangaroo & Map”.

Drake, Postmaster-General This “Commonwealth” design originated in Victoria but was issued only in New South Wales and Queensland.

THE MORGAN COLLECTION OF AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH STAMPS

1911 STAMP DESIGN COMPETITION In the absence of any satisfactory designs for the uniform stamps, the Postmaster-General, Josiah Thomas, announced that a public design competition would be held to obtain suitable designs. The official announcement, together with the rules of the competition, was made in the “Commonwealth Gazette” on 21 January, 1911. The most important conditions were: 1) the designs should be submitted under a nom de plume; 2) the designs submitted should not exceed four times the size of the proposed stamp (1.125” x 0.675”) - a stipulation that was frequently ignored, and be accompanied by a stamp-sized photographic reproduction; and 3) the designs should contain features characteristic of Australia, and include the words “Australia” and “Postage”. As of 31 May, 1911, the closing date of the competition, 1,051 designs had been received from 533 entrants. A first prize of £100 and two second prizes of £50 were awarded; two of the prize-winning entries have subsequently been lost. Designs not selected were to be returned to the entrants. A relatively small number of these competition entries are recorded in private collectors’ hands today. Donald Mackay x24

1d. Coat-of-Arms, a pen and ink drawing highlighted with Chinese white on card (94x74mm.) along with the photographic stamp-size reproduction in sepia, touched up with India ink, on card (43x35mm.). BW E42, $30,000. Photo

£20,000-30,000

Note: This design was awarded Equal Second Prize. The other two prize-winning entries Altmann’s (“Minerva”) King George V portrait, and Arnold’s (“Baldy”) Kangaroo - were in the Ron Hyeronimus collection that was stolen in 1984. That collection is believed to have been destroyed, making the Mackay essay the only prize-winning entry available. This essay is widely regarded as one of the most important and significant items of Australian philately in private hands. PROVENANCE:

Important Notice to Prospective Buyer as Communicated by the Australian Heritage Department

A Cultural Heritage Gem The Donald Mackay Essay (the Essay) is listed on the Australian Movable Cultural Heritage Prohibited Export Register as a Class B Australian Protected Object. The Essay is the only surviving prize-winning entry from the 1911 Commonwealth Stamp Design competition and the artwork has historical significance which forms part of Australia’s cultural heritage. As such the Essay cannot be permanently exported or purchased by an overseas buyer with the intention of housing it permanently overseas because its loss would significantly diminish the cultural heritage of Australia. However, the Australian Protection of Movable Cultural Heritage Act 1986 (the Act) provides provisions for the temporary export of the objects, such as the Essay, for display at International exhibitions by way of providing temporary export permits upon application.

A Magnificent Exhibition Item of the Highest Importance

Type 1 x32

ᔛ E

21⁄ 2 d. blue monocoloured essay in a horizontal format showing Kangaroo on map of Australia between draped flags, on ungummed unwatermarked white wove paper with saw-tooth roulette 141⁄ 2 , very minor surface fault at lower left in no way detracts the fine appearance. Unique. A magnificent exhibition item of the highest importance. BW KE2. Photo Note: After rejecting the winning entries in the 1911 competition, Postmaster-General Frazer commissioned Blamire Young of the Victorian Artist’s Association late in that year to prepare alternative designs. It is recorded that Young delivered ten designs to the PostmasterGeneral in January 1912, and recently discovered press announcements indicate that one of these designs showed a Kangaroo superimposed on a map of Australia. There are a total of nine recorded First Essays in seven different denominations based on this design, of which five were acquired (amazingly as one lot in the 1981 Williamson auction in London) by R.T.P. Chapman, whose collection was subsequently acquired intact by the Australia Post. Of the nine known examples of this type, four are monocoloured and five are composite bi-coloured. Only three remain in private hands. The other two are: 1) imperforate 1/- in brownish red and blue; and 2) rouletted 5/- in green and carmine. PROVENANCE:

1d. carmine-rose in a vertical format with a Kangaroo on map of Australia, no Tasmania, with two value circles at top, imperforate on thin white card, very fine. Unique. A superb essay of the highest quality and importance. BW KE11. Photo Note: This vertical format design was determined to be less clustered and better suited to stamp production, but the map of Australia was crudely drawn and the island state of Tasmania was omitted. The Type 2 essay is even rarer than the Type 1, as there were five examples in different denominations recorded, although one (a 4d. denomination) was in a private collection stolen in 1984 and it has never been recovered. Of the remaining four, one (a 6d. denomination) is in the R.T.P. Chapman collection, now part of the Australia Post archival collection. Thus, only three examples are left in private hands. The one offered in the next lot and a rouletted 1⁄ 2d. in green. PROVENANCE:

A spectacular Kangaroo essay rarity. BW KE24Fa. Photo Note: According to the ACSC, “these essays were distributed to the press on 2 April 1912 as examples of the approved design, and this distribution may be the source of most examples extant”. The use of bi-coloured printing for the high value essays suggests that an early decision had been made that these denominations would be bi-coloured for the issued designs. A number of colour combinations were used, but there is no evidence that these sheelets were used for selection of the issued colours. There are only eight intact high value sheetlets recorded, each in different colour combinations, one being in the Australia Post archival collection.

Photo Note: This variety comes from the 1919 indigo printing. It was caused by a temporary ink clog flaw which was quickly corrected. This, and the fact that a portion of the relevant sheets was overprinted N.W. PACIFIC ISLANDS, accounts for its rarity. Three mint and twelve used examples (three perforated OS) are presently recorded. One used example is in the Royal Collection.

Chapman collection, now part of the Australia Post archival collection. A third pair was in a collection stolen in 1984 and has not been seen since. The strip of three (ex Colonel Harrie Evans) has since been divided into a pair (ex Gray) and a single.

SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT 2.1

All sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as principal if we are the owner of the Lot. Please note that even if we are acting as agent on behalf of the Seller rather than as principal, we may have a financial interest in the Lot.

2.2

The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.

the first session of the sale. If accepted by us, such request shall have the same effect as notice of an intention to question the genuineness or description of the Lot for the purposes of clause 5.13 (Refund in the case of Forgery) of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.13 (Refund in the case of Forgery) shall apply accordingly. 3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and specify the identity of your proposed expert which will be subject to agreement by us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to refuse a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity including (without limitation) where the proposed expert is not known to us.

BEFORE THE SALE 3.1

3.2

Examination of goods You are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other than in relation to Forgeries, as set out in clause 5.13 of these Terms and Conditions.

3.4.3 If we accept a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity we will submit the Lot to the Expert Committee. You acknowledge and accept that the length of time taken by an Expert Committee to reach an opinion will vary depending on the circumstances and in any event is beyond our control.

Catalogue descriptions 3.2.1 Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price of any Lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item or to reveal imperfections. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the Lot will sell or its value for any other purpose. 3.2.2 Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. 3.2.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.13, and in the absence of fraud, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors of description or for any faults or defects in any Lot.

3.3

3.4

Your Responsibility You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description. Extensions – Stamps only 3.4.1 If you wish to obtain an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity on any Lot (other than a mixed Lot or Lot containing undescribed stamps) you must notify us in writing not less than forty-eight hours before the time fixed for the commencement of

Spink Uni (07/11) (20)

3.4.4 We will not normally accept a request for an extension on account of condition. Any Lot described in the catalogue as having faults or defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity cites other faults or defects not included in the catalogue description, other than in the case of a Forgery. 3.4.5 Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the Lot. 3.4.6 It should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity. No request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and the return of such a stamp will not be accepted. 4

AT THE SALE 4.1

Refusal of admission Our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.

4.2

Registration before bidding You must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check. Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “Premium Lots”, which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the item for sale. Information will be posted on our website in such an event.

4.3

Bidding as Principal When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.

4.4

Commission Bids If you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on a particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding.

4.5

On-line Bidding We offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or system. Execution of on-line internet bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.

4.6

Telephone Bids If you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.

4.7

Currency Converter At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by Barclays Bank Plc or any other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding will take place in a currency determined by us, which is usually sterling for auctions held in London. The currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of the Lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of sterling bids. We shall not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.

4.8

Video images At some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.

4.9

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in the following order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are: Up to £100 by £5 £100 to £300 by £10 £300 to £600 £320-£350-£380-£400 etc. £600 to £1,000 by £50 £1,000 to £3,000 by £100 £3,000 to £6,000 £3,200-£3,500-£3,800-£4,000 etc. £6,000 to £20,000 by £500 £20,000 and up Auctioneer’s discretion

4.10 Bidding by Spink 4.10.1 We reserve the right to bid on Lots on the Seller’s behalf up to the amount of the Reserve (if any), which will never be above the low estimate printed in the auction catalogue. 4.10.2 The Spink Group reserves the right to bid on and purchase Lots as principal. 4.11 The Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again. Spink Uni (07/11) (20)

4.12 Successful Bid Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid, provided always that such bid is higher than the Reserve (where applicable), and the conclusion of a contract for sale between you and the Seller. 4.13 After Sale Arrangements If you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buyer’s Premium in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the Seller a commission in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s agreement. 4.14 Return of Lot Once your bid has been accepted for a Lot then you are liable to pay for that Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. If there are any problems with a Lot then you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the Lot, specifying the nature of the problem. We may then request that the Lot is returned to us for inspection. Save as set out in clause 5.13, the cancellation of the sale of any Lot and the refund of the corresponding purchase price is entirely at our sole discretion. We will not normally exercise that discretion if the Lot is not received by us in the same condition that it was in at the auction date. AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1 Buyer’s Premium In addition to the Hammer Price, you must pay us the Buyer’s Premium at a rate of 20% of the final Hammer Price of each Lot. 5.2 Value Added Tax Other than in respect of Zero-rated Lots (o) (see VAT Symbols for details), VAT is payable on the Buyer’s Premium and on the Hammer Price, if the Lot has been marked with a sign to that effect in the catalogue (see VAT Symbols for details). 5.3 VAT Refunds General 5.3.1 As we remain liable to account for VAT on all Lots unless they have been exported outside the EU within 3 months of the date of sale, you will generally be asked to deposit all amounts of VAT invoiced. However, if a Spink nominated shipper is instructed, then any refundable VAT will not be collected. In all other cases credits will be made when proof of export is provided. If you export the Lot yourself you must obtain shipping documents from the Shipping Department for which a charge of £50 will be made. 5.3.2 If you export the Lot you must return the valid proof of export certificate to us within 3 months of the date of sale. If you fail to return the proof of export certificate to us within such period and you have not already accounted to us for the VAT, you will be liable to us for the full amount of the VAT due on such Lot and we shall be entitled to invoice you for this sum. 5.3.3 To apply for a refund of any VAT paid, the proof of export certificate must be sent to our Shipping Department clearly marked ‘VAT Refund’ within 3 months of the date of sale. No payment will be made where the total amount of VAT refundable is less than £50 and Spink will charge £50 for each refund processed. VAT Refunds - Buyers from within the EU 5.3.4 VAT refunds are available on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium of Daggered (†) and Investment Gold (g) Lots. You must certify that you are registered for VAT in another EU country and that the Lot is to be removed from the United Kingdom within 3 months of the date of sale. 5.3.5 Where an EU buyer purchases a Lot on which import VAT has been charged, no refund of VAT is available from us. It may be possible to apply directly for a refund on form VAT 65 to HM Revenue & Customs Overeseas Repayment Section, Londonderry. VAT Refunds – Buyers from outside the EU 5.3.6 Where a Lot is included within the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months of the date of sale, the VAT element included within the Buyer’s Premium may be refunded. 5.3.7 Where the Lot is marked as a Daggered (†) or Investment Gold (g) Lot the VAT charged on the Hammer Price may be refunded where evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months of the date of sale. A refund of VAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer. 5.3.8 Where the Lot is marked as an Omega (Ω) Lot or an Import VAT (x) Lot and evidence of export from the EU is produced within 3 months of the date of sale, the VAT charged on both the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium may be refunded. Where required, we can advise you on how to export such Lots as a specific form of export evidence is required. Where we advise you on the export of the Lots, please be aware that the ultimate responsibility in respect of obtaining a valid proof of export certificate will lie with you and we will not be responsible for your failure to obtain such certificate.

Our postage charges are set out at the back of the catalogue. 5.8.2 It is the responsibility of the Buyer to be aware of any Import Duties that may be incurred upon importation to the final destination. Spink will not accept return of any package in order to avoid these duties. The onus is also on the Buyer to be aware of any Customs import restrictions that prohibit the importation of certain collectibles. Spink will not accept return of the Lot(s) under these circumstances. Spink will not accept responsibility for Lot(s) seized or destroyed by Customs. 5.9 Recommended packers and shippers If required our shipping department may arrange shipment as your agent. Although we may suggest carriers if specifically requested, our suggestions are made on the basis of our general experience of such parties in the past and we are not responsible to any person to whom we have made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third parties concerned. 5.10 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases 5.10.1 If you fail to make payment within seven days of your stipulated payment date set out in your invoice, we shall be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies: 5.10.1.1 to charge interest at the rate of 2% per month compound interest, calculated on a daily basis, from the date the full amount is due; 5.10.1.2 to set off against any amounts which the Spink Group may owe you in any other transaction the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by you; 5.4

Spink Uni (07/11) (20)

5.10.1.3 we may keep hold of all or some of your Lots or other property in the possession of the Spink Group until you have paid all the amounts you owe us or the Spink Group, even if the unpaid amounts do not relate to those Lots or other property. Following fourteen days’ notice to you of the amount outstanding and remaining unpaid, the Spink Group shall have the right to arrange the sale of such Lots or other property. We shall apply the proceeds in discharge of the amount outstanding to us or the Spink Group, and pay any balance to you; 5.10.1.4 where several amounts are owed by you to the Spink Group in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not you so direct; 5.10.1.5 to reject at any future auction any bids made by you or on your behalf or obtain a deposit from you before accepting any bids. 5.10.2 If you fail to make payment within thirty-five days, we shall in addition be entitled: 5.10.2.1 to cancel the sale of the Lot or any other item sold to you at the same or any other auction; 5.10.2.2 to arrange a resale of the Lot, publicly or privately, and, if this results in a lower price being obtained, claim the balance from you together with all reasonable costs including a 20% seller’s commission, expenses, damages, legal fees, commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise, incurred in connection with your failure to make payment; or 5.10.2.3 take any other appropriate action as we deem fit. 5.11 Failure to collect Where purchases are not collected within seven days after the sale, whether or not payment has been made, you will be required to pay a storage charge of £2 per item per day plus any additional handling cost that may apply. You will not be entitled to collect the Lot until all outstanding charges are met, together with payment of all other amounts due to us. 5.12 Export Licence 5.12.1 If required we can, at our discretion, advise you on the detailed provisions of the export licensing regulations. Where we advise you in relation to export licensing regulations the ultimate responsibility in respect of any export will lie with you and we will not be responsible for your failure to apply for any necessary licences. 5.12.2 If the Lot is going to be hand carried by you, you may be required to produce a valid export licence to us or sign a waiver document stating that a licence will be applied for. 5.12.3 You should always check whether an export licence is required before exporting. Export licences are usually obtained within two or three weeks but delays can occur. 5.12.4 Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that you wish to apply for an export licence does not affect your obligation to make payment within seven days nor our right to charge interest on late payment. 5.12.5 If you request that we apply for an export licence on your behalf, we shall be entitled to recover from you our disbursements and out of pocket expenses in relation to such application, together with any relevant VAT. 5.12.6 We will not be obliged to rescind a sale nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by you where payment is made by you despite the fact that an export licence is required. 5.13 Refund in the case of Forgery 5.13.1 A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to you if a Lot (other than a miscellaneous item not described in the catalogue) sold by us proves to have been a Forgery. We shall not however be obliged to refund any amounts if either (a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at that time, or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or (b) it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the auction was unreasonably expensive or impracticable or likely to have caused damage to the Lot. Furthermore, you should note that this refund can be obtained only if the following conditions are met: 5.13.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the receipt of the Lot(s), that in your view the Lot concerned is a Forgery; 5.13.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days from receipt of the Lot(s), in the same condition as at the auction date; and

5.13.1.3 as soon as possible following return of the Lot, you must produce evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and that you are able to transfer good title to us, free from any third party claims. 5.13.2 In no circumstances shall we be required to pay you any more than the amount paid by you for the Lot concerned and you shall have no claim for interest. 5.13.3 The benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the original invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot when sold and who, since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party. 5.13.4 We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific or other process to establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not such process was used or in use at the date of the auction. 6 LIABILITY Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits or excludes our liability for: 6.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence; or 6.2 any damage or liability incurred by you as a result of our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. 7 COPYRIGHT 7.1 We shall have the right (on a non-exclusive basis) to photograph, video or otherwise produce an image of the Lot. All rights in such an image will belong to us, and we shall have the right to use it in whatever way we see fit. 7.2 The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material relating to a Lot is and shall remain at all times our property and we shall have the right to use it in whatever way we see fit. You shall not use or allow anyone else to use such images, illustrations or written material without our prior written consent. 8 VAT You shall give us all relevant information about your VAT status and that of the Lot to ensure that the correct information is printed in the catalogues. Once printed, the information cannot be changed. If we incur any unforeseen cost or expense as a result of the information being incorrect, you will reimburse to us on demand the full amount incurred. 9 NOTICES All notices given under these Terms and Conditions may be served personally, sent by 1st class post, or faxed to the address given to the sender by the other party. Any notice sent by post will be deemed to have been received on the second working day after posting or, if the addressee is overseas, on the fifth working day after posting. Any notice sent by fax or served personally will be deemed to be delivered on the first working day following despatch. 10 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS The following provisions of this clause 10 shall apply only if you are acting for the purposes of your business. 10.1 Limitation of Liability Subject to clause 6, we shall not be liable, whether in tort (including for negligence) or breach of statutory duty, contract, misrepresentation or otherwise for any: 10.1.1 loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and/or similar losses, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goods, loss of contract, loss of use, loss of corruption of data or information; or 10.1.2 any special, indirect, consequential or pure economic loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses. 10.2 Severability If any part of these Terms and Condition is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part may be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 10.3 Force majeure We shall have no liability to you if we are prevented from, or delayed in performing, our obligations under these Terms and Conditions or from carrying on our business by acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond our reasonable control, including (without limitation) strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving our workforce or the workforce of any other party), failure of a utility service or transport network, act of God, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, fire, flood, storm or default of suppliers or subcontractors. 10.4 Waiver 10.4.1 A waiver of any right under these Terms and Conditions is only effective if it is in writing and it applies only to the circumstances for which it is given. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms and Conditions or by law shall constitute a waiver of that (or any other) right or remedy, nor preclude or restrict its further exercise. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that (or any other) right or remedy. 10.4.2 Unless specifically provided otherwise, rights arising under these Terms and Conditions are cumulative and do not exclude rights provided by law. Spink Uni (07/11) (20)

Value Added Tax (VAT) Charging of (VAT) at Auction The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends to account for VAT.

Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme 1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of any symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not be subject to VAT on the Hammer Price. 2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to VAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’ Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules for recovering input tax.

ii.

Zero-Rated Lots Limited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT in the United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. In these circumstances no VAT element will be included within the Buyer’s Premium.

iii.

Daggered Lots Lots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20% on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv.

Starred and Omega Lots Lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% on the Hammer Price and 20% on the Buyer’s Premium which is shown as inclusive of VAT. Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lots bear VAT because the Lot is liable for VAT at this rate on importation into the EU.

Investment Gold Lots Lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the Hammer Price and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund of VAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer.

vi.

Imported Lots Lots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium because they have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

S.G. 57; BW 76. Photo Note: This misplaced perforation variety was probably caused by the sheet being left imperforate at base. The fault was detected and the bottom row was then perforated but the sheet was replaced in the machine very much off-centre. It is of interest that the variety “imperforate on three sides” is known in this issue probably originating from the same batch as this item. WWW.SPINK.COM

Note: The forgeries were used in Sydney during March and April 1932 for mailing forged Irish Sweepstake Lottery tickets and circulars. An example was received through the mail by a South Australian collector, Dr. E.C. Black, who noticed differences and asked the post office for information on what he supposed was a new stamp design. The post office took immediate action, and using the return address printed on Dr. Black’s envelope, investigators received in reply Sweepstake tickets enclosed in an envelope franked with a forged 2d. Sydney Harbour Bridge stamp. Police action followed, and eventually a Mr. Charles Jackson was arrested posting covers bearing forged stamps. A search of his premises yielded quantities of both forgeries in sheets, and after questioning, the arrest of a process engraver, Henry Elderfield, followed. Elderfield had produced the plates for both forgeries. Both perpetrators were brought to trial, convicted and sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment.

4d. violet, Plate 2, showing variety line through “FOUR PENCE” [2R12], centred to right, fine used. Very rare. S.G. 64a, £4500; BW 111(2)h, $8000. Photo

£2,000-2,500

Note: The variety must have been retouched very shortly after the beginning of printing in violet. It is unlikely that the whole of the first printing (2,400,000 stamps) was from the pre-retouch state, in view of its rarity, and the existence of the original flaw in violet seems to have gone unreported until 1926. Only 800 sheets were printed from each plate on the first day, and it seems possible this represents the quantity of line through “FOUR PENCE” printed. Five mint and at least 15 used examples have been recorded.

This variety is often described as “value omitted”, but several of the least affected stamps in the upper rows show “4c” present or partially so. The second and third columns of this pane show disturbed olive-green printing. 103
