THE CHINESE CUSTOMS POST

The essay for the famous Large Dragon stamp is very similar to the design of the final, issued stamp. Here the fine detail of the brushwork design can be fully appreciated

Meiso Mizuhara Meiso Mizuhara had a lifelong passion for philately. He believed that there was no pleasure in collecting stamps by oneself so was ready to share his collection and experiences with fellow collectors. Keen to rekindle stamp collecting in Japan, he was instrumental in the founding of the Japanese Philatelic Society (JPS) in 1946. This is now one of the largest such societies in the world. The scope of Chinese philately is vast and complex. Here is a diverse subject that can be divided into many separate specialist areas and few collectors attempt to cover more than a few of these different aspects. Over the years he built up of the great collections of China, unrivalled in its strength and breadth since the renowned collection of Sir Percival David, which was sold in the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. In some areas, Meisoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection is even stronger than that of Sir Percival David. The desire to share his collection as widely as possible led to him being a prodigious exhibitor and he was often travelling around the world to attend various international exhibitions. From the large collection he was able to compile many different exhibits and entered these successfully in numerous competitive exhibitions for over twenty-five years.

The Philatelic Museum, Tokyo The Philatelic Museum in Mejiro is the culmination of his dedication to the hobby, it is a centre for the encouragement of stamp collecting at all levels and devotes space from new or inexperienced collectors wanting to learn more about the hobby to specialist collectors who use the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities for meetings, study and research, using the philatelic library. Here the special prizes which were awarded at the exhibitions are proudly displayed. The museum is also home to many other agencies, including offices for the JPS, Japan Philatelic Publications and the Japan Philatelic Agency Spink are honoured to be able to present this catalogue as a fitting tribute to a great philatelist. This publication allows a new generation of collectors to explore and appreciate the intricacies of the postal history of Korea and provides some with an opportunity to acquire philatelic treasures from this interesting country.

The Customs Post Exhibit This collection of the customs post is of particular importance because it charts the development of the modern postal service in China and this is clearly demonstrated by the exhibit frames. Opening with some highly significant pre-stamp covers, this exhibit includes some of the first postal marks used in China. For example, there are items of early nineteenth century mail from Macao, the first trading port in China. In 1842 the British military expedition based in Ningpo produced its own postmark, one of the first to be used in mainland China, and this exhibit displays a cover that is one of only three recorded. Robert Hart, a British employee of the Imperial Maritime Customs at Shanghai, was responsible for developing the customs post to extend it to all mail with China. This exhibit presents the first group of essays and proofs for the first postage stamps produced for this service and most of them are unique. Several frames concentrate on the Large Dragon stamps, the design that was selected for the first stamps. Many important sheets and blocks of these stamps demonstrate the several different plate settings that were used in printing. There were few errors on the stamps but the exhibit includes the rare imperforate between variety on the 1ca and 3ca. Britain, France, Japan, Russia, America and Germany all went on to establish their own post offices in Shanghai. This aspect of postal history is also represented by one exhibit frame that focusses on particularly prized covers displaying combinations of Chinese and foreign stamps. Among them, there is the earliest such cover sent from America. In 1897, the Chinese currency was changed to dollars and cents and therefore new stamps were required. When delays at the printers meant that the stamps would not be available in time, as an emergency measure, existing stamps were overprinted with the new currency values. One particular stamp selected for overprinting was an unused 3c. stamp. The final, very important, frame in this exhibit concentrates on these revenue surcharges. Highlights feature an unsurcharged block of four; two examples of the legendary small $1 (which form a pair from the top left corner of the pane); a small 4c. with double surcharge (black and violet); and the small 2c with the rare errors of surcharge double and surcharge double and inverted (represented by a pair). In addition to the stamps, there is also an impressive selection of eleven covers. In summary, this magnificent exhibit includes some of the finest and most important items of Chinese philately and the auction opens up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire such fabulous historically significant rarities.

Lord Napier arrived in Canton in July 1834, sent by the British Government with the brief to extend trade with China and to arrange direct diplomatic relations. However, this caused a direct challenge to the one-sided arrangement when Napier, as instructed by his superiors, sought to communicate directly, by letter, with the imperial representative at Canton, Governor Lu. This resulted in his mission being a failure as direct contact with the Chinese authorities was forbidden to foreigners Lord Napier did organise a British post office in Canton, working without fee or postage in Canton The list of recorded covers 1834 (13 Nov.)

The top of the cover is marked “No.9 - Bocca Tigris”, the Bouge of the Canton River.

1504

Military Post Office China 1842 (20 Apr.) entire soldier’s letter from Ningpo to Scotland, from William Meikle of the 26th Regiment and correctly countersigned by his commanding officer, Lieut Col. Mott. The flap bears a very fine strike of the oval “Military/Post Office/China” handstamp in cursive script in black, and which opens out well for display. Other postal markings are “CALCUTTA/SHIP LETTER/FREE” c.d.s. in red, “INDIA” in oval, London transit (13.10) overstruck by Paisley arrival the following day and the front bears a handstruck “2” in black for postage due. The letter gives a graphic account of the closing part of the campaign, “ ... this city was attacked on the 10th of last month during the night by about 4000 Chinese but they were gallantly repulsed with the loss of one half of their number and not one of ours touched, we then went out about 30 miles on the 16th and met them in the field ...” There is some creasing and age wear to the paper which has been reinforced in places. Nevertheless this is believed to be the finest of only three covers recorded. It is thought that this postmark was used aboard one of H.M. ships which formed part of the expedition.

Lu, February 1985, Opening of China, November 1987 The regiment arrived off Chusan on 4 July, capturing it with little resistance the following day. The 26th was camped on a hill just inside the city, where heavy work, bad terrain and poor provisions soon caused illness to set in. Eventually two hundred and sixty men were evacuated to Manila in November, and by the end of the year two hundred and forty men had died, with a hundred and sixty-three sick in Chusan and a mere hundred and ten able-bodied men All available able-bodied men were moved north to support the attack on the Bogue forts, which fell on 7 January 1841. Whilst resting at Hong Kong, the 26th made an expedition against Amoy in August, before being moved up the coast to Ningpo at the end of December aboard HMS Jupiter, equipped with newly modified percussion muskets They arrived at Ningpo on 7 February 1842, and took up garrison there. The town was attacked on the night of 9-10 March, though the 26th were not involved in the defence, and a few days later participated in an expedition to attack two fortified camps nearby. In early May Ningpo was evacuated, and the 26th moved northwards again to support an attack on Chapu. Here, the 26th saw heavy fighting, with three men killed before the town was taken The other covers are dated 1842 (31 Jan.), a wrapper from Lieut. Mitchell to his sisters in Plymouth.

1878-83 THE LARGE DRAGON ISSUE Design Essays and Proofs

1514

ᔛ E

Two preliminary watercolour designs which were prepared for the approval of the Inspector-General of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs, Sir Robert Hart. The first is on laid paper, 7.2 x 5 cm, the design features a central ying-yang in black and yellow with a depiction of the Night-shining Pearl above; the supporters being a phoenix and dragon on an ground of cycas the scroll beneath containing the motto, “ta ch’ing i t’ung wan nien”. The colours of the supporters are azure, light green and red with highlights in gold. There are vertical creases each side of the design (very light on the left) and some hinge remainders on the reverse as is to be expected. The second design is on a high quality wove paper and is more ambitious in both size and scope. Framed within a double-lined black border with incurved corners, 10.6 x 6 cm, the central ying-yang is in yellow and carmine which shades into a pale colour, the Night-shining Pearl in grey and gold with a more elaborate flames above and below. Both supporters are dragons which are tinted in pale and dark blue with their scales in gold, whiskers in grey and gold and tongues and flames behind their heads in scarlet. The scroll beneath is without content and filled in with a wash of grey and gold. There are some glue marks on the reverse, but these do not show through to the design. These two highly important essays draw on Chinese symbolism and introduce the dragon and Night-shining Pearl which were eventually used in the design of the issued stamps.

Note that these publications feature most of the following essays These designs were submitted to Sir Robert Hart when he was Inspector General of Customs; although they were rejected, he included them in his collection. Philip Ireland suggested that these designs are too large and complex to be made into stamps, however, an artist unfamiliar with the constraints of printing stamps would be concentrating on the design concept, wanting to make his designs as pleasing as possible. The fact that these were kept by Sir Robert Hart in his stamp collection is strong evidence that they were genuine proposals for a design for the new stamps Frame 2 WWW.SPINK.COM

A pair of se-tenant design in fine brush painted on stout wove paper. The first features the dragon guarding the Night-shining Pearl in black (paling to grey) with Chinese characters in black in a brown frame with country and value (mace) also in brown. To the left are the characters for the other values in formal style, for 1m., 2m., 3m. and 4m. Below the dragon the ground is indicated in pencil, plus some additional clouds, showing much of the shape of the finally accepted design. The adjacent design is of a six-storied pagoda (indicating a foreign hand unfamiliar with Buddhist iconography) and with value in candarin. The design and frame is in black whilst the country and value are in brown. Again, to the left, are the characters of the alternative values. There is a small drawing pin hole at the very top of the paper, presumable made by the artist, and a light horizontal crease or bend at the very top. A delightful and highly important pair of essays, the dragon being extremely close to the accepted design HK$800,000-1,000,000 PROVENANCE: Sir Robert Hart, John A. Agnew, Sir Percival David, October 1970 These stamps were designed by a Chinese artist. For a long time it was thought that the designer was Hosea Ballou Morse, an American who served in the Chinese Imperial Maritime Custom Service, though he denied any involvement. It is thought that the pagoda is a representation of the Dragon Flower Temple and Pagoda located about six miles to the south of the old city of Shanghai. Pagodas are built with an odd number of stories.

The Elephant Essay: the third fine brush design in this series with the design and Chinese characters in black with the frame, country and value (cash) in brown. The alternative values are written to the left. The design features a ceremonial elephant carrying a pot of growing cycas and there are two bats flying in the sky. These are auspicious symbols, the elephant signifies great happiness and the Chinese name for a bat is fu, which sounds similar to the word for happiness. The cycas convey the significance of perpetual change. The legs on the elephant in the sketch are rather wrinkly. Here is another unique and desirable example of this charismatic design which was put forward for further refinement and trials PROVENANCE: Sir Robert Hart, John A.

A left margin block of four being from the fourth and fifth rows of the original block of fifty, printed on thin ‘cigarette’ paper. The block has been folded through the horizontal perforations, there is some additional bending or creasing and a small water stain around a hinge remainder. The use of this thin paper was to enhance the printing, however, the ink was not evenly spread and there are variations in the black printing across this block. A very important item from this design as few blocks now remain intact.

Only two examples have been recorded (both at one time in the Sir Percival David collection), however, the other example has been cut down. HK$800,000-1,000,000 PROVENANCE:

John N. Luff, March 1922 E.H. Finegan, October 1937, Sir Percival David, October 1970, Richard Canman, October 1972 When a new seal was sent to an official, it was traditional for him to select and remove a small point in the seal (without damaging the characters). A print of his adopted seal was then filed with the central government in Peking. In this way, any unauthorised use of the seal before it was delivered to the correct person could be identified. It is believed that, following this tradition, the extra circle in the design (in the lower left corner) was placed there as a security device to detect any stamps which may have been fraudulently produced. A circle was removed by the official to whom the dies, or clichĂŠs, were sent. This one official decided which of the circles would be removed.

1885-88 THE SMALL DRAGON ISSUE

The printing plates of the Large Dragon stamps began to wear and needed replacing; here was an opportunity to introduce a more conventional size stamp. The design is very similar to the first issue, though with more detail on the dragon. At the same time, watermarked paper was introduced as an additional security measure. The watermark was the ta-chi symbol, which remained in use until 1902. The Small Dragon stamps were issued in November 1885 The new stamps were printed in sheets of forty, divided into two panes. Similar to the Large Dragon stamps, the sheets were constructed of individual clichés which were fixed together. These printing plates were periodically cleaned and the sheets are found in several different settings, or arrangements of the individual clichés

1894 DOWAGER ISSUE

The 1, 3 and 5 candareen values proved to be inadequate to cope with the increase in the amount of mail being sent through the Customs Post. Additional values were required and Sir Robert Hart, the Inspector General of the Imperial Maritime Customs, suggested a completely new set of stamps. The proposed issue was to consist of nine stamps with values up to 24 candareens. November 7th 1894 was the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager and it seemed appropriate to have the new stamps issued in time to commemorate this event. Mr R.A. de Villard, a French designer working for the Statistical Department of Customs, was appointed to create the designs. He had previously been involved with the design and printing of some of the Shanghai Local Post stamps, so was well qualified for this task The first ever commemorative stamp had been issued in 1891 by Hong Kong, therefore it is tempting to think of this set as a commemorative issue. However, although this set was issued to coincide with the Empress Dowagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday, it is more of a celebration issue

刂

$1 on 3c. red [1] large part original gum, bright colour on white paper; there are a few light perf. tones which are of little consequence and an old hinge mark is apparent on the reverse. There is a thin spot under yu. A good example of this legendary rarity. The basic stamps shows the characteristic weakness near the foot of the left outer frame line, which confirms this as position [6] on the original sheet, or the first stamp of the pane of twenty five. On this example the letter “a” of “dollar” is broken, though it is difficult to be sure if this is a constant positional variety or a local failure of the printing. The break in the character cheng is fairly normal though more pronounced by the white part of the design underneath; there is also a spur or dot towards the foot of the character ta.

I also understand that Spink provides the service of executing bids on behalf of clients for the convenience of clients and that Spink will not be held responsible for failing to execute bids.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERS These conditions set out the terms on which we (Spink China Limited of 4&5/F., Hua Fu Commercial Building, 111 Queen’s Road West, Hong Kong) contract with you (Buyer) either as agent on behalf of the Seller or as principal if we are the Seller.

means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue and which at the date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no Lot shall be capable of being a Forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind (including re-enamelling);

2 SPINK CHINA’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. 3 BEFORE THE SALE 3.1 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 5.10 of these Terms and Conditions. 3.2 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 and web illustrations are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any item. No lot shall be rejected on the grounds of inaccurate reproduction. No lot illustrated in the catalogue and online shall be rejected on the grounds of cancellation, centring, margins, perforation or other characteristics apparent from the illustration. 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 5.8, 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. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgment as to such matters. 3.3 Your Responsibility You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description. 3.4 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 the first session of the auction. 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 5.9 of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.9 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. 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. 3.4.4 We will not 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 China Limited 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. 3.4.7 If you receive any correspondence from the Expert Committee in relation to the Lot, including but not limited to a Certificate of Authenticity, you must provide us with copies of such correspondence no later than 7 days after you receive such correspondence. 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. If you have not bid successfully with Spink in the past, or you are registering with us for the first time, we reserve the right to require a deposit of up to 50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit will be deducted from your invoice should you be successful. If you are unsuccessful at auction, your deposit will be returned by the same means it was paid to Spink.

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 endeavors 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. All commission bids should be sent to 4&5/F, Hua Fu Commercial Building, 111 Queen’s Road West, Hong Kong up till 24 hours prior to the sale. 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 on www.spink.com and Spink Live 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. Buyers who acquire lots on the-saleroom.com will have a fee of 3% on the hammer price added to their invoice for using this facility. 4.6 Telephone Bids If you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavors 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 HSBC 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 Hong Kong dollars for auctions held in Hong Kong. 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 Hong Kong dollar bids. We shall not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.

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. 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 4.14.1 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 5.8, 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. 4.14.2 No lot may be returned on account of condition if the condition was stated by a third party grading company (including, but not limited to PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, PMG, WBG). 5 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, a fee of 3% on the hammer price total for using the-saleroom.com and a fee for paying by credit card. 5.2 Payment 5.2.1 You must provide us with your full name and permanent address and, if so requested, details of the bank from which any payments to us will be made. You must pay the full amount due on your invoice within seven days after the date of the sale. This applies even if you wish to export the Lot and an export license is (or may be) required. 5.2.2 You will not acquire title to the Lot until all amounts due to us have been paid in full. This includes instances where special arrangements were made for release of Lot prior to full settlement. 5.2.3 Payment should be made in Hong Kong Dollars by one of the following methods:

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.

(ii) By cheque or bank draft made payable to Spink China Limited.

(iii) By Visa or Mastercard. A fee of 3% will be applied. By American Express, a fee of 4% will be applied. We are not responsible for any foreign exchange losses or charges that you may incur in connection with such card payments. 5.2.4 Payments should be made by the registered buyer and not by third parties, unless it has been agreed at the time of registration that you are acting as an agent on behalf of a third party. 5.3 Notification We are not able to notify successful bidders by telephone. While Invoices are sent out by mail after the auction we do not accept responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bid. You are requested to contact us by telephone or in person as soon as possible after the auction to obtain details of the outcome of your bids to avoid incurring charges for late payment. 5.4 Collection, Packing and Handling of Purchases

5.4.1 Unless specifically agreed to the contrary, we shall retain lots purchased until all amounts due to us, or to the Spink Group, have been paid in full. Buyers will be required to pay for their lots when they wish to take possession of the same, which must be within 7 days of the date of the sale, unless prior arrangements have been made with Spink. Without prior agreement, lots will not be released until cleared funds are received with regard to payments made by cheque. 5.4.2 Lots may be collected from 4&5/F, Hua Fu Commercial Building, 111 Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Road West, Hong Kong. In the event where a cheque or bank draft payable to Spink China Limited has been presented to us, unless we specifically agree to the contrary, no Lots shall be released before the cheque or bank draft has cleared where such funds have been credited into our bank account. 5.4.3 A purchased Lot shall be at your risk in all respects from the time of collection or the expiry of seven days from the date of sale, whichever is sooner, and neither Spink China Limited nor its employees nor agents shall thereafter be liable for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any Lot is in or under their respective custody or control. 5.4.4 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. 5.4.5 We shall use all reasonable endeavors to take care when handling and packing a purchased Lot but remind you that after seven days or from the time of collection, whichever is sooner, the Lot is entirely at your risk. 5.4.6 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. 5.4.7 If the Buyer requires delivery of the Lot to an address other than the invoice address this will be carried out at the discretion of Spink. 5.5 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases 5.5.1 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: 5.5.1.1 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; 5.5.1.2 to set off against any amounts which the Spink Group may owe you in any other transaction the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by you; 5.5.1.3 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 daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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, and pay any balance to you; 5.5.1.4 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; 5.5.1.5 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. 5.5.2 If you fail to make payment within thirty-five days, we shall in addition be entitled: 5.5.2.1 to cancel the sale of the Lot or any other item sold to you at the same or any other auction; 5.5.2.2 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% sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 5.5.2.3 when reselling the Lot, place a notice in our catalogue stating that you successfully purchased the Lot at auction but have subsequently failed to pay the Hammer Price of the Lot; or

5.5.2.4 take any other appropriate action as we deem fit. 5.6 Failure to collect Where purchases are not collected within fourteen days after the sale, whether or not payment has been made, you will be required to pay a storage charge of HKD30 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. 5.7 Use of Default Information If you fail to make payment for a Lot in accordance with these Terms and Conditions 5.7.1 we reserve the right to refuse you the right to make bids for any future auction irrespective of whether previous defaults have been settled; and 5.7.2 you consent to us disclosing details of such default to other auctioneers and live bidding platforms, which will include your name, address, nature of the default and the date of the default. Auctioneers or live bidding platforms who receive details of the default may rely on such information when deciding whether to enter into a transaction with you in the future. 5.8 Export License 5.8.1 You should always check whether an export licence is required before exporting. 5.8.2 Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that you wish to apply for an export license does not affect your obligation to make payment within seven days nor our right to charge interest on late payment. 5.8.3 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 license is required. 5.9 Refund in the case of Forgery 5.9.1 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: 5.9.1.1 you must notify us in writing, within seven days of the auction date, that in your view the Lot concerned is a forgery; 5.9.1.2 you must then return the item to us within fourteen days, in the same condition as at the auction date; and 5.9.1.3 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. 5.9.1.4 you must provide to us all evidence obtained by you that a Lot is a Forgery no later than 7 days after you receive such evidence. 5.9.2 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. 5.9.3 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. 5.9.4 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 USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

10 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
