*

1863, March 10. Cover from Alexandria to Leghorn (Italy), bearing Sardinia imperforate 1855 20c., six singles, 40c. (bottom right corner with imperfection) and 1858 80c., all with mainly wide margins, tied by “Alessandria d’Egitto” c.d.s.’s in blue, repeated alongside, showing framed “Piroscafi Postali Francesi” marking at right denoting carriage

by French vessels, following disembarkation in Sicily, with corresponding transit and arrival on reverse. Addressee’s panel restored, and some reduced tone spots, of no importance for this key rarity. A unique franking, being the highest known on cover of this early issue used in Egypt, with its desirability being augmented by the fact of representing the earliest recorded date of use of the highest denomination, the 80c., as well as of the 10c. The most significant cover of the Italian post office; it must be considered as one of the most celebrated covers of Egyptian postal-history.

Lettera su pergamena del 21.VIII.1464 del DOGE CRISTOFORO MORO (14621471). Nel 1463 accettù l’invito di Pio II e si mise a capo di una crociata contro i turchi.

In quegli anni infatti i turchi avevano insidiato i possedimenti veneziani e aveva luogo la Guerra Veneto-Turca, tra 1463 e 1479. Interessantissima lettera perché spedita “dalla nostra ducal Triremi nel Porto di Parenzo (Istria)” e diretta all’Illustrissimo Dominio Ducale delle Venezie. La lettera venne scritta qualche giorno dopo la partenza della flotta veneziana da Ancona, porto dal quale, alla presenza di Papa Pio II e al comando del Doge, avrebbe dovuto far vela per l’Oriente verso una nuova Crociata. Il 15.VIII Pio II morì ad Ancona e Cristoforo Moro decise di ritornare a Venezia dando disposizioni per il trattamento delle galere pontificie ed i relativi equipaggi. Bellissimo sigillo in piombo del Doge. Eccezionale documento postale di estrema rarità, perché redatto a bordo di nave e trasmesso via mare a Venezia. Splendida qualità. Regesto. Foto WWW.SPINK.COM

Sicilia 138

P

1858, cartoncino con applicate otto prove del conio originale dei francobolli di Sicilia, stampate su carta bianca, spessa, soffice e porosa. La fila inferiore reca i sette valori dell’emissione con tonalità cromatiche dissimili rispetto alle cromie dell’emissione definitiva; in alto appare una prova del 5 grana in una delle tonalità di colore emesse, vermiglio vivo, sulla quale è impressa, in nero, una prova dell’annullamento a “ferro di cavallo”, apposta con la finalità di non deturpare l’effigie di Ferdinando II. Emilio Diena, nella sua opera sui francobolli di Sicilia, descrive questo insieme e nota che “l’effigie è impressa con grandissima abilità, e mostra una meravigliosa finitura, morbidezza di tocco ed espressione vivace. È facile rendersi conto che si tratta dell’opera di un artista dei più abili”. Illustrata sul catalogo Sassone 2015 a pagine 386, rappresenta una delle più grandi rarità di Sicilia. Le prove sono state realizzate da Tommaso Aloisio Juvara; grazie all’opera di questo grande artista, i francobolli di Sicilia sono giustamente considerati tra i più belli dell’ intera iconografia filatelica mondiale. Lo straordinario stato di conservazione, anche considerando qualche lieve e quasi impercettibile punti di ossidazione di nessuna importanza, avvalora ancora maggiormente l’importanza di questa gemma, che rappresenta un insieme assolutamente unico.

1883, busta dall’ufficio postale italiano ad Assab per Livorno, affrancata con un bollo soprastampato “Estero” , 1878, 20c. (11) annullato in azzurro con timbro lineare “Baia di Assab”; cerchi a data di Brindisi e Livorno al verso, dove giunse il 23 dicembre. In questo periodo di conquista e certa precarietà, la corrispondenza da Assab era consegnata ad una nave stazionaria che più o meno quindicinalmente si recava ad Aden, dove era consegnata al Console italiano, per poi inoltrarla via Brindisi, in una grande busta, tramite l’ufficio dell’India brittanica ad Aden. Busta leggermente ridotta a sinistra, un fatto di assolutamente nessuna importanza per questa grande rarità. Delle cinque lettere note, questa reca, senza dubbio, l’impronta più bella di questo rarissimo annullamento, il più mitico e rappresentante la pietra miliare degli annullamenti delle Colonie Italiane. Cert. Enzo Diena, firmata Em. Diena e F. A. Zanetti. Foto

1846, 10 r. black, greyish paper, intermediate impression, a fresh block of twelve (3x4), sheet margin at left, with re-entries in places and displaying two vertically conjoined transfers at lower right caused by a shifted alignment -a variety scarcely encountered-, slightly cut into at right, otherwise mostly very good margins, tied to 10 June 1849 cover to Rio de Janeiro by red Rio Grande cds on dispatch. Slit through on opening as usual, and subsequently rejoined, not detracting. An unusual franking paying the single maritime rate, being the largest franking and multiple known of this value on cover, of which, to our knowledge, only seven covers are recorded, this possessing the added attraction of being marginal. Cert. Moorhouse. RHM 4. Ex Pracchia and Hubbard.

1844, 60 r. black, type II, late impression, a magnificent large margined vertical strip of six, just touched at bottom, applied on judicial document delivered through the post from João da Barra to the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice, dated July 1st, 1851. The franking paid the special postal rate for a judicial document weighing 48 “oitavas’’ (8 “oitavas’’ per each 60 réis). As described inside, the total costs of the legal proceedings amounted to 3$298 réis, out of which 360 réis were related to postal expenses. Judicial case dossiers could neither be processed nor distributed to the litigants without payment of the mail’s postage. To our knowledge, a unique multiple on document carried through the mails.

1845, 90 r. black, yellowish paper, intermediate impression, type IIa, a remarkable block of six (3x2) with predominantly large margins, just touched at top right of upper right adhesive, together with a block of four, just touched at left, otherwise large margins, in combination with 30 r. black vertical pair, type II, all tied to piece of judicial document carried through the post, dated 18 March 1856 by framed ‘Cidade/De/Nictheroy’ handstamp in a brilliant orangish red colour. Type IIa (sometimes known as type III) introduces one of the most fascinating mysteries in the “Inclinados” issue: the plating of the 90r. value. Until 1973, all multiples, which only exhibited Type IIa characteristics, were believed to have originated from a second 90r. plate made up solely of this type that was only ever printed on the thin paper. However, at the 1973 IBRA exhibition in Munich, a vertical block of twelve (2x6) was discovered that was composed of Types IIa in the left hand row combined with Types II, I, II, I, IIa & IIa in the right hand row. This discovery put into question the previously held belief of a plate composed solely of Type IIa stamps and it also gave rise to a theory that there may, in fact be three different plates. Everaldo N. dos Santos in his article “Inclinados, o Maior Desafio do Filatelia do Brasil” (“Inclinados, the Biggest Challenge of Brazilian Philately”) argues against the three plates scenario and it is his opinion that the second plate consists of Type IIa stamps together with both Types I and Type II stamps. Obviously, any Type IIa multiples are very important building blocks in either attempting to complete the layout of this plate or in trying to prove the possible existence of a third plate. Positional pieces such as these very rare blocks are even more so. The largest franking recorded of the fascinating type IIa, including the second and third largest multiples in existence the 90 r. value type IIa. The blocks being key items in establishing the curious layout on the plate which includes the type IIa. A most desirable, great rarity of Brazilian philately. Cert. Moorhouse. RHM 5, 7D. Ex Hubbard.

A stunning assembly comprising two essays featuring unadopted designs made by the A.B.N., which were presented to the Chilean Government; and a selected group of 11 covers including “Carta Tarjeta” postcard bearing an extremely rare franking with two 1c. values in distinctly different shades, the largest recorded franking of the scarcely used 1c. (on cover front), 1868-75 two 5c. single frankings with a very rare use of a datestamp on this issue prior its usage was permitted in 1877, 5c. multiple frankings including block of four, block of four+pair, strip of six and one large envelope with 11 examples (one single and five pairs), a very rare via Panama Wells Fargo 3c. envelope additionally franked with 5c. (3)+10c. in an extraordinary United States-Chile combination franking, and rare 5c. embossed postal stationery envelope uprated with 5c. (5) & 10c. in a very late period (1880) when, as a result of the shortage of adhesives available during the Pacific War, it was authorized the usage or remainders of this issue. An extraordinary group including several key rarities of this, the first perforated issue of classic Chile; also a unique opportunity for collectors being interested in starting a new collection with some gems, representing a consistent basis to expand.

1914, March 3. 5c. Federal envelope to Sinaloa, readdressed to Torreón. The battle for Torreón began a couple of weeks after this cover was sent, with mail deliveries probably halted by the 25 March, if not earlier; Sinaloa had been in the hands of the Constitutionalists since 5.10.1913, so it was closed to Federal deliveries, therefore with “Clausurada la Oficina de destino” and for its being sent to Mexico City where authorities at the Departamento de Regazos searched the address of the sender which they wrote in red; by that time Torreón had been taken by Villa, and so the second “clausurada” handstamp was applied. Backstamp “Mazatlán” implies transport by ship since this port was closed to approach by land. Scarce and very interesting.

Two vertical creases, one affecting one adhesive, and minor imperfections to few perforations, of no significance for this rarity.

Redatta a Washington nel 1918, la relazione descrive sotto il profilo tecnico l’aeroplano, le sue componenti, i motori e le varie fasi di montaggio. Sono presenti schemi tecnici degli impianti e tabelle di rendimento dei motori e delle prestazioni del velivolo.

Decine le foto di piccolo formato, originali ed ingiallite dal tempo, che descrivono in maniera estremamente dettagliata sia i singoli componenti sia le fasi di costruzione e di montaggio del bombardiere. Foto

Celestino USUELLI (1877-1926). Usuelli fu no dei più importanti aeronauti e progettisti di dirigibili italiani. Effettuò quasi 100 ascensioni in pallone libero, una delle quali si concluse in tragedia con l’annegamento dei suoi due compagni di volo. Partecipò tre volte alla Coppa Gordon Bennett. Fu il primo ad attraversare le Alpi da est a ovest nel 1906, impresa che gli valse la Coppa Regina Margherita. Collaboratore e socio di Crocco, Ricaldoni e Nobile, fu progettista e fabbricante di dirigibili, tra i quali il T 34 “Roma”, di 34.000 metri cubi, il più grande dirigibile semirigido dell’epoca, che fu venduto agli Stati Uniti. Contribuì in modo determinante alla formazione della “scuola dirigibilistica italiana”, del dirigibile semirigido, in contrapposizione con i rigidi Zeppelin. Usuelli fu anche presidente della sezione di Milano della Società Aeronautica Italiana. Questo importante lotto comprende circa 250 documenti, foto originali, lettere, verbali ascensioni, progetti, documenti sul palloni pilotati da Usuelli, due libri con la descrizione di tutte le ascensioni del dirigibile U 3; il libretto originale di carico e scarico del pallone Regina Elena (tragico naufragio di Ancona); un grande album con quasi 100 fotografie originali dei primi dirigibili dal 1911 al 1914 e dei Cantieri Usuelli di Villapizzone; libro cassa e libro paga dei cantieri; tracciati barografici di ascensioni, tra cui la seconda traversata alpina; relazioni di ascensioni con dirigibili, con tracciati barografici e firme autografe dei piloti; cartoline relative ad alcuni voli in pallone; foto di famiglia e corrispondenza autografa con tutti gli aeronauti contemporanei. Insieme assolutamente unico ed eccezionale. Gran parte del materiale proviene dalla famosa collezione Taragni.

Aerostatica Italiana, “antichi” e precursori. L’aerostatica in Italia ebbe lontane origini.

Dopo la Francia, l’Italia fu la seconda nazione a fornire un contributo scientifico e sportivo fondamentale alla attività del più leggero dell’aria. In questo lotto sono rappresentati nel modo migliore tutti gli eventi aerostatici che si verificarono a partire dagli ultimi decenni dell’Ottocento e fino al 1905. Si tratta di uno dei periodi dei quali, paradossalmente, esistono meno documenti, assai meno di quelli del periodo antico. Questo insieme comprende circa 100 pezzi di particolare pregio e rarità, di cui molti, sopratutto cartoline illustrate, ricercati dai collezionisti; particolarmente belle e rare le cartoline relative all’Esposizione di Torino 1898, tra cui un rarissimo esemplare viaggiato. Sono presenti anche tessere di ingresso e manifestini lanciati da bordo dei palloni in volo. Pregevolissimi i documenti su Cirillo Steffanini, tutti autografi, tra i quali spicca un cartoncino che egli lanciava dalla mongolfiera durante le sue esibizioni al trapezio, un pezzo davvero unico, firmato e datato dall’aeronauta. Completano il lotto: le prime cartoline del lancio del pallone di San Marcello Pistoiese, rare cartoline del pallone Gigante e del Centauro a Genova, degli aeronauti Zambianchi e Quaglia, che come Steffanini si esibivano compiendo volteggi al trapezio, appesi al pallone privo di controllo, e un biglietto per assistere a un’ascensione di Francesco Orlandi. Interessante un campione di tessuto del dirigibile Leonardo da Vinci di Forlanini. Tutti i pezzi sono ben documentati e spesso sono accompagnati da ritagli di giornali dell’epoca con la cronaca dell’evento. Inisieme di grande importanza, straordinario e unico, rappresentante uno dei periodi più affascinanti della conquista dell’aria. Gran parte del materiale proviene dalla collezione Taragni. Foto

1895-1926, interessantissima raccolta di oltre 50 pezzi di grande formato, contenuti in un album grande (50x40cm) e due portarotoli: giornali, manifesti, fogli lanciati in occasione di raduni aerostatici, un’azione della teleferica del Monte Matanna (pezzo unico a quanto ci risulta), lettera del 1896 da Steffanini Cirillo Stephenson (della Flottiglia Aeronautica Milanese) annunciando ladunanza per costruire un parco aerostatico, le bandiere per le auto inseguitrici durante i rally-ballon (rarissime), la documentazione del record di durata stabilito da Donner Flori, con tracciato barografico completo del volo.

In due tubi si trovano sei grandi manifesti telati, interessantissimi e alcuni insoliti, molto difficilmente reperibili e la maggior parte fine 800-primi 900, in ottime condizioni grazie alla telatura che ne ha impedito l’altrimenti inevitabile deterioramento. Visione altamente suggerita per la belleza ed importanza dei pezzi. Foto

1906, ESPOSIZIONE DI MILANO. L’Esposizione Internazionale di Milano del 1906 fu una grandissima riunione internazionale, istituita per commemorare la inaugurazione del traforo ferroviario del Sempione, all’epoca la più lunga galleria mondiale; l’esposizione di Milano, pur non raggiungendo il rango di “Universale”, vide la presentazione di tutto ciò che la scienza e la tecnologia dell’epoca considerava all’assoluta avanguardia, soprattutto nel campo dei trasporti terrestri e dei nascenti trasporti aerei. Gli spettatori furono valutati in circa 10 milioni in totale, una cifra enorme per l’epoca. Durante l’evento furono effettuate 16 gare tra aerostati, un cimento sportivo che all’epoca rappresentava un primato mondiale.

Prima del 1906 erano state effettuate solo poche gare, la maggior parte delle quali in Francia. Per ospitare i palloni e i neonati dirigibili fu creato un grande “parco aerostatico” che rappresentava una delle massime attrattive dell’Esposizione. Un pallone vincolato portava gli spettatori fino a oltre 200 metri di altezza. Questo lotto comprende circa 200 documenti, tra cui il noleggio dei palloni della SAI, i verbali pre-esposizione, libri di bordo, cronache e resoconti. Numerose e belle le foto e le cartoline stampate per l’evento, tutte particolarmente rare. Insieme straordinario e unico, da esaminare. Foto

Aerostatica, 1906-anni 20. Lotto di grandissima importanza comprendente circa 300 pezzi, tra cartoline, lettere autografe, tessere, menu in occasione di ritrovi tra aeronauti, statuti, tracciati barografici, relazioni, ecc. Tra le cartoline è presente la “teleferica” del Monte Matanna, unico esperimento mondiale di trasporto passeggeri mediante un pallone ancorato ad una rotaia; la cartolina, a colori, è autografata da tutti i protagonisti e si tratta di un pezzo unico, certamente considerata come la più rara cartolina dell’aerofilia italiana, di cui se ne conoscono una decina di pezzi, ma questo è l’unico conosciuto che porti tutte le firme dei protagonisti, e fu regolarmente spedita all’indirizzo della figlia dell’ingegner Porro Lodi, con Romeo Frassinetti tra i progettisti della ingegnosa e originale teleferica. Completano il lotto documenti fotografici importantissimi, relativi a eventi a Gallarate, a Mantova, in Liguria, a Milano, Padova, Biella, Como, Lecco, Novara, e in numerose altre località, anche all’estero (Vienna, Zurigo e Bruxelles soprattutto), molti autografati dai protagonisti, tutti i grandi personaggi del volo più leggero dell’aria dell’epoca: Da Schio, Usuelli, Moris, Piccoli, Frassinetti, Canovetti, Donner Flori, Mina, Forlanini, Dal Fabbro, Longhi, Minoletti, Borsalino, Prato Previde, Vaccarino, Montezemolo, Cobianchi e altri ancora. Ricca la rassegna degli eventi della Coppa Città di Verona. Un insieme di grande fascino che comprende il “Santo Graal” dei collezionisti di cartoline. Tutti i pezzi sono ben documentati e spesso sono accompagnati da ritagli di giornali dell’epoca con la cronaca dell’evento. Insieme assolutamente fantastico e affascinante, gran parte proveniente dalla collezione Taragni. Foto

THE COLLECTOR’S SERIES Francesco De Pinedo - contd.

This item and those offered in lots 1084, 1085, 1094, 1098, 1099 & 1100 represent a unique assembly of route maps of the famous and glorious flight Rome-Melbourne-Tokyo-Rome of 1925, completed by Francesco De Pinedo in 55,000 kms in his biplane flying boat named “Gennariello”. The maps, with manuscript notations by the pilot, indicate the route followed, coordinates, times, petrol comsumption or other interesting entries. This group comprises, according to our records, all route maps which have been survived to date; these were kept by Francesco De Pinedo after this flight. One may guess the circumstances and conditions under which this aviation pioneer had to deal with; his enthusiasm and heroism, but also his worries and restlessness (we find, on the reverse of one of the maps in this lot, his following note: “I think we are losing some oil drops”). As a matter of fact, unexpected technical problems could be also aspects of such a difficult flight; De Pinedo was then forced to replace one wing and one engine, assisted by his engineer Ernesto Campanelli, who accompanied De Pinedo in this flight. These items undoubtedly represent a unique and extraordinary firsthand testimony of one of the great pioneering achievements in aviation history.

1083 1083

Eccezionale e straordinaria carta di navigazione originale relativa al raid di 55.000 chilometri del 1925 compiuto da De Pinedo e Campanelli sulla rotta Sesto Calende Bombay - Calcutta - Singapore - Perth - Melbourne - Sidney - Formosa - Shanghai Mokpo - Tokio e ritorno. Questa carta, relativa alla tratta KARACHI - BOMBAY MASULIPATAM - CALCUTTA del volo, riporta le annotazioni del pilota nel corso della tratta con orari e tempi di volo, consumi ed altre interessanti annotazioni. Sul retro di un allegato fotografico della carta del fiume Hugli, usato durante il volo, il pilota scrisse “Mi pare che stiamo perdendo qualche goccia di olio” (durante il raid soffrono una lunga serie d’incidenti e di avarie, che costringono ad alcune riparazioni e mettono in dubbio l’esito dell’impresa): un’eccellente dimostrazione riguardante un problema tecnico. Le carte, offerte anche in lotti successivi di questa vendita, sono una testimonianza irripetibile di una delle più note imprese del periodo pionieristico dell’aviazione italiana e mondiale.

Rilegatura originale 14 x 25cm circa. Foto In this route map, between Tavoy and Mergui, the pilot denotes, in pencil: “the wings have been deformed as a result of the rain”. An extraordinary proof of one of the circumstances under which De Pinedo had to fly.

1925, 1° giugno. Telegramma di due pagine con felicitazioni da Benito Mussolini a De Pinedo, inviato durante il suo raid Roma-Melbourne-Tokyo-Roma, nel momento in cui si trovava in Australia, quando la prodezza dell’aviatore raggiunge uno dei momenti più alti della storia aeronautica italiana, che ebbe un grande riconoscimento mondiale. Datato a Pot Hedland il 1° giugno 1925: “Il governo saluta orgoglioso e riconoscente l’eroico tenacissimo aviatore cha ha silenziosamente conquistato una nuova fulgida vittoria dell’ala italiana”. Indubbiamente, Mussolini capì l’importanza di questo successo. Piccolo strappo in alto senza importanza. Uno dei due telegrammi noti indirizzati da Mussolini all’aviatore durante il raid, che furono portati dal pilota con se durante i voli. Straordinario testimone e grande rarità della memorabilia aeronautica italiana. Foto Telegram sent by Benito Mussolini congratulating the Italian aviator Francesco De Pinedo on his splendid and extraordinary achievement after flying from Rome to Australia. One of only two telegrams recorded, sent to De Pinedo by Mussolini, during the flight RomeMelbourne-Tokyo-Rome, which were carried by him to Rome. This item represents an excellent proof of the importance of this achievement, which also had impact in the world.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYERS These conditions set out the terms on which we (Spink Switzerland SA, Via Balestra 7, 6900 Lugano Switzerland) contract with you (Buyer) either as agent on behalf of the Seller or as principal if we are the Seller. You should read these conditions carefully.

1 DEFINITIONS The following definitions in this condition apply in these conditions.

Buyer’s Premium: means the charge payable by you as a percentage of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 5.1 below; Certificate of Authenticity: means a certificate issued by an Expert Committee confirming the authenticity of a Lot; Expert Committee: means a committee of experts to whom a Lot may be sent for an extension in accordance with clause 3.4.3; Forgery: 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; Hammer Price: means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a Lot; Lot: means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in particular, the item or items described against any Lot number in any catalogue; Seller: means the owner of the Lot being sold by us; Spink Group: Spink and Son Limited, our subsidiaries and associated companies; VAT: means the value added tax.

2 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.

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 shall be rejected on the grounds of cancellation, centring, margins, perforation or other characteristics apparent from the illustration. 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 5.10, 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 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 5.10 (Refund in the case of Forgery) of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.10 (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.

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 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.

3.4.8 If the expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity demonstrate the validity of the complaint, all the expenses for the appraisals will be paid by us. If the complaint is invalid, you shall pay for all the appraiser expenses.

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 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.

Sia che agiamo come agenti per conto del Venditore che come conferenti in proprio, possiamo avere un interesse finanziario nel Lotto.

PRIMA DELL’ASTA

3.1 Esame dei beni Vi preghiamo di esaminare personalmente tutti i beni a cui è interessato, prima che l’asta abbia luogo. Reports sullo stato del pezzo sono generalmente disponibili su richiesta. Noi non forniamo alcuna garanzia se non in relazione a Falsi così come stabilito all’articolo 5.10 di queste Condizioni generali di vendita.

3.2 Descrizioni del catalogo 3.2.1 Le affermazioni da noi riportate nel catalogo o nei nostri reports, o fatte verbalmente o per iscritto in altri contesti, riguardanti l’autore, l’origine, la data, l’età, dimensione, materiale, attribuzione, genuinità, provenienza, condizione o prezzo di vendita stimato di ogni Lotto, sono meramente affermazioni di opinione sulle quali non deve essere fatto affidamento come affermazioni derivanti da fatti certi e definitivi. Le illustrazioni del catalogo e sul web fungono solo da guida e su di esse non si dovrebbe fare affidamento per determinare la tonalità od il colore di ogni Lotto.

Nessun Lotto può essere rifiutato per motivi di riproduzione imprecisa. Nessun Lotto illustrato nel catalogo può essere rifiutato per motivi di annullo, centratura, margini, perforazione o altre caratteristiche risultanti dall’illustrazione. Con riferimento alla stima del prezzo di vendita, non si dovrebbe fare affidamento su di essa in quanto affermazione che questo prezzo sarà quello a cui il Lotto sarà venduto o che questo sia il suo effettivo valore per ogni altro scopo.

3.2.2 Molti pezzi sono di un’età o natura tali da pregiudicare che possano essere in perfette condizioni e alcune descrizioni nel catalogo o fornite attraverso i nostri reports, indicano la presenza di danni e/o restauri. Noi forniamo queste informazioni solo come indicazione e la loro assenza non implica che un pezzo sia esente da difetti o restauri, nè l’indicazione di particolari difetti implica l’assenza di taluni altri.

3.2.3 A parte quanto previsto all’articolo 5.10, ed in assenza di frode, nè il Venditore, nè noi, nè alcuno dei nostri impiegati od agenti sono responsabili della correttezza di qualsiasi dichiarazione relativa all’autore, origine, data, età, attribuzione, genuinità o provenienza di ogni Lotto, nè per qualsiasi altro errore di descrizione o per qualsiasi errore o difetto presente in qualsiasi Lotto. Ogni persona interessata è tenuta a esercitare e fare affidamento sul proprio giudizio su tali questioni.

3.3 Vostra responsabilità

3.4 Extensions – solo per i francobolli 3.4.1 Se desiderate ottenere un parere peritale od un Certificato di Autenticità di qualsiasi Lotto (a parte Lotti misti o Lotti contenenti francobolli non descritti), dovete richiederlo per iscritto non più tardi di quarantotto ore prima dell’orario fissato per l’inizio della prima sessione d’asta. Se dai noi accettata, tale richiesta avrà lo stesso effetto di formale notifica dell’intenzione di mettere in discussione la genuinità o la descrizione del Lotto per gli scopi previsti dall’articolo 5.10 (Rimborso in caso di Falso) delle presenti Condizioni generali di vendita e di conseguenza le previsioni dell’articolo 5.10 troveranno applicazione.

3.4.2 La notifica di richiesta di un parere peritale o di un Certificato di Autenticità deve contenere il motivo di tale richiesta e specificare l’indicazione del perito da Voi proposto che sarà soggetto al nostro accordo. Ci riserviamo il diritto, a nostra discrezione, di rifiutare la richiesta di parere peritale o di Certificato di Autenticità, incluso (senza limitazione) il caso in cui l’esperto proposto non sia da noi conosciuto.

3.4.3 Se accettiamo la richiesta di parere peritale o di Certificato di Autenticità, sottoporremo il Lotto al Comitato di esperti. Voi riconoscete ed accettate che il tempo necessario al Comitato di esperti per emettere un parere, varierà in dipendenza delle specifiche circostanze ed in ogni caso sarà fuori dal nostro controllo.

3.4.4 Non accettiamo richieste di extension sulle condizioni del Lotto. Ogni Lotto descritto nel catalogo come avente errori o difetti, non può essere ritornato anche se un parere peritale od un Certificato di Autenticità indichi la presenza di altri errori o difetti non inclusi nella descrizione del catalogo, a parte il caso di Falso.

3.4.5 Se Spink dovesse accettare la richiesta di extension sulla base delle precedenti previsioni di questo paragrafo, questo fatto potrà essere dichiarato dal Banditore durante l’asta prima della vendita del Lotto.

3.4.6 Va considerato che ogni francobollo accompagnato da un Certificato di Autenticità è venduto sulla base solamente di detto certificato e non sulla base di qualsiasi altra descrizione o garanzia relativa all’autenticità. Non saranno accettate richieste di extension su tale francobollo ed il reso del medesimo non sarà accettato.

3.4.7 In caso riceviate qualsiasi comunicazione da parte del Comitato di esperti in relazione al Lotto, sia che riguardi o meno il Certificato di Autenticità, dovrete fornirci copia entro 7 giorni dalla dalla loro ricezione.

3.4.8 Se il parere peritale o del Certificato di Autenticità dovessero dimostrare la fondatezza della richiesta di extension, tutte le spese per ottenere i medesimi saranno a nostro carico. In caso contrario, saranno totalmente a carico vostro.

4.7 Convertitore di valuta

5.1 Commissione di acquisto ed altre spese In aggiunta al prezzo di aggiudicazione, Voi dovrete pagarci la Commissione di acquisto stabilita nella misura del 20% del prezzo di aggiudicazione di ogni lotto. In caso di acquisto attraverso la piattaforma the-saleroom.com, verrà addebitata in fattura una commissione aggiuntiva del 3% del prezzo di aggiudicazione. Una ulteriore commissione verrà addebitata in caso di pagamento con carta di credito.

In alcune aste sarà operativo un convertitore di valute basato sui tassi di cambio a noi quotati da BSI Sa o su qualsiasi altro appropriato tasso da noi determinato all’apertura della giornata di svolgimento dell’asta. Le offerte avverrano nella valuta da noi stabilita. Il convertitore di valuta può non essere sempre affidabile ed errori possono accadere fuori dal nostro controllo sia con riguardo alla correttezza del numero di Lotto che appare sul convertitore che della valuta estera equivalente alla valuta in cui l’asta

5.2 Imposta sul valore aggiunto (IVA) In caso di vendita con merce consegnata in Svizzera e non esportata verrà addebitata in fattura l’IVA pari all’8% (ottopercento) del prezzo di vendita, intendendosi con esso il prezzo di aggiudicazione maggiorato della commissione di cui al punto 5.1 e di eventuali spese di assicurazione e trasporto da addebitare in caso di spedizione del materiale acquistato. Nel caso l’acquirente intenda ritirare la merce e provvedere in

Spink SW1018 pages 2.qxp_Layout 1 19/11/2015 08:46 Page 232

proprio alla pratica doganale di esportazione, l’Iva sarà addebitata e successivamente rimborsata all’acquirente dietro presentazione della documentazione legale di avvenuta esportazione.

5.3 Pagamento 5.3.1 Voi dovete fornirci nome e domicilio e, se richiesto, i dettagli della banca da cui proverranno i pagamenti in nostro favore. Voi dovete pagare l’intero ammontare dovuto (comprensivo del Prezzo di aggiudicazione, della Commissione di acquisto, dei costi di assicurazione e spedizione e, ove applicabile, dell’Iva) entro sette giorni dalla data dell’asta.

5.3.2 Voi non acquisirete alcun diritto sul Lotto fino a che tutte le somme a noi dovute non ci saranno state integralmente pagate, anche nel caso in cui noi vi avessimo già consegnato il Lotto.

5.3.3 Il pagamento deve essere fatto nella valuta della vendita (a meno di accordi particolari) attraverso uno dei seguenti metodi: (i) Bonifico bancario sul nostro conto indicato in fattura. Vi preghiamo di assicurarvi che tutte le spese bancarie siano a vostro carico e che il vostro numero di cliente sia indicato nella causale del bonifico. (ii) Assegno bancario o circolare intestato a Spink Switzerland Sa da inviare al nostro indirizzo di Via Balestra 7, 6900 Lugano Switzerland. Vi preghiamo di assicurarvi che le spese di emissione e di incasso dell’assegno bancario o circolare siano a vostro carico e che il tagliando presente in fondo alla fattura sia inserito insieme al pagamento. (iii) Carta di credito Visa, Mastercard o American Express. Un addebito del 3.00% sarà applicato per pagamenti con Visa e Mastercard e del 3.50% per pagamenti con American Express.

5.8 Rimedi per mancato pagamento o mancato ritiro 5.8.1 Se Voi venite meno al pagamento entro sette gioni dalla data di pagamento indicata in fattura, noi saremo autorizzati ad esercitare uno o più dei seguenti diritti o rimedi: 5.8.1.1 addebitare interessi al tasso composto dell’1% al mese, calcolati su base giornaliera dalla data in cui il pagamento è dovuto, in aggiunta ad una penale del 5% del prezzo di vendita; 5.8.1.2 rivalersi su qualsiasi somma di cui il gruppo Spink può essere creditore nei vostri confronti per qualsiasi altra operazione, fino a concorrenza dell’ammontare da Voi non pagato; 5.8.1.3 trattenere tutti o alcuni Lotti di vostra proprietà o altri beni in possesso del gruppo Spink fino al pagamento da parte vostra di tutte le somme dovute a noi o al gruppo Spink, anche se la somma non pagata non riguarda quei Lotti o quei beni.

Trascorsi quattordici giorni dalla nostra comunicazione di esistenza di una somma non pagata, il gruppo Spink avrà il diritto di organizzare la vendita di tali Lotti o beni.

Noi compenseremo i ricavi rivenienti da detta vendita fino a concorrenza della somma dovuta al gruppo Spink e vi pagheremo l’eventuale saldo; 5.8.1.4 nel caso in cui più somme siano da voi dovute al gruppo Spink con riferimento ad operazioni diverse, compensare qualsiasi ammontare pagato con qualsiasi ammontare da voi dovuto sia o meno riferito direttamente ad una specifica operazione; 5.8.1.5 rifiutare in qualsiasi asta futura qualsiasi offerta fatta da Voi o per vostro conto, od ottenere un deposito da parte vostra prima di accettare qualsiasi offerta.

5.8.2 Se Voi venite meno al pagamento entro trentacinque giorni dalla data di pagamento indicata in fattura, noi saremo inoltre autorizzati a: 5.8.2.1 cancellare la vendita del Lotto o di qualsiasi altro articolo a Voi venduto nella stessa od in qualsiasi altra asta;

5.4 Ritiro degli acquisti 5.4.1 A meno di uno specifico diverso accordo, terremo i Lotti acquistati fino a che gli ammontari a noi dovuti, o dovuti al gruppo Spink, siano stati integralmente pagati. Gli acquirenti saranno tenuti a pagare i loro Lotti nel momento in cui desiderano entrare in possesso dei medesimi, pagamento che dovrà avvenire entro 7 giorni dalla data della vendita, salvo accordi precedenti presi con Spink. Senza previo accordo, i Lotti non saranno rilasciati fino a quando i fondi non saranno effettivamente resi disponibili in relazione a pagamenti effettuati tramite assegno.

5.4.2 In assenza di nostra diversa comunicazione, i pezzi da noi tenuti saranno assicurati in accordo con la nostra polizza, che è disponibile per visione presso i nostri uffici, per un periodo di sette giorni dalla data dell’asta o fino al momento del ritiro se fosse precedente. Dopo sette giorni o dal momento del ritiro, se precedente, il Lotto sarà interamente a vostro rischio.

5.4.3 La nostra polizza non assicurerà e non siamo in grado di accettare alcuna responsabilità per danni causati da tarli, cambiamenti atmosferici o atti di terrorismo.

5.5 Comunicazioni Non siamo in grado di comunicare l’avvenuta aggiudicazione agli aggiudicatari dei Lotti. Le fatture saranno inviate via email dopo l’asta e non accettiamo responsabilità per comunicazioni inerenti alle vostre offerte. Vi preghiamo di contattarci telefonicamente o di persona appena dopo l’asta per conoscere il risultato delle vostre offerte al fine di evitare addebiti per pagamenti in ritardo.

5.6 Imballo e movimentazione 5.6.1 Faremo tutto quanto ragionevolmente possibile per avere cura del Lotto acquistato nel momento dell’imballo e della movimentazione ma ricordate che dopo sette giorni dall’asta o, dalla data del ritiro se precedente, il Lotto è interamente a vostro rischio. In caso di spedizione, i nostri addebiti per le spese postali ed assicurative sono indicati alla fine del catalogo.

5.6.2 È responsabilità dell’acquirente conoscere qualsiasi dazio/tassa all’importazione che potrebbero essere richiesti al momento dell’importazione nel paese di destinazione. Spink non accetterà il reso di qualsiasi collo per evitare il pagamento di tale dazio/tassa. È inoltre onere dell’acquirente conoscere qualsiasi restrizione doganale all’importazione che proibisca l’importazione di certi articoli da collezione. Spink non accetterà il reso di Lotti per questo motivo. Spink non accetterà alcuna responsabilità per Lotti sequestrati o distrutti dalla Dogana.

5.7 Confezionatori e spedizionieri raccomandati Se richiesto, il nostro ufficio spedizioni può organizzare la spedizione come suo agente. Sebbene noi siamo in grado di suggerire spedizionieri, se specificamente richiesto, i nostri suggerimenti sono forniti sulla base della nostra esperienza generale con essi nel passato e non siamo responsabili nei confronti di alcuno al quale abbiamo fatto una raccomandazione per atti od omissioni delle controparti in questione.

5.8.2.2 organizzare una rivendita del Lotto, in asta o a trattativa privata, e se il prezzo realizzato fosse inferiore a quello a suo tempo ottenuto, richiedere il pagamento del saldo da parte vostra unitamente a tutti i ragionevoli costi compreso una commissione del Venditore del 20%, spese varie, rimborso danni, spese legali, commissioni e premi di qualsiasi natura connessi con entrambe le vendite o altrimenti occorsi in conseguenza del mancato pagamento; 5.8.2.3 al momento della rivendita del Lotto, menzionare nel catalogo che il lotto era stato a Voi aggiudicato in asta e ma non successivamente pagato; o 5.8.2.4

intraprendere ogni altra appropriata azione che riterremo adatta.

5.8.3 Nel caso in cui gli acquisti non siano ritirati entro sette giorni dalla data della vendita, sia che sia stato effettuato o meno il pagamento, Voi sarete tenuti al pagamento di un costo di magazzinaggio giornaliero pari a Chf 2.- per articolo oltre a qualsiasi altro costo di movimentazione ove applicabile. Non sarete autorizzati a ritirare il Lotto fino a che tutti gli addebiti in sospeso siano stati onorati unitamente al pagamento di tutte le altre somme a noi dovute.

5.9 In caso di inadempienza Se Voi vi rendete inadempienti nel pagamento di un Lotto secondo quanto stabilito dalle presenti Condizioni di vendita: 5.9.1 ci riserviamo il diritto di inibirla dal poter fare offerte nelle nostre future aste indipendentemente dal fatto che precedenti inadempienze siano state sanate; e 5.9.2 Voi acconsentite che noi comunichiamo i dettagli di tali inadempienze ad altre case d’asta e piattaforme di aste online, incluso il Vostro nome, indirizzo, natura e data dell’inadempienza. Le case d’asta o le piattaforme di aste online che ricevono queste informazioni, possono fare affidamento sulle medesime per decidere se entrare in relazione con Voi. 5.10 Rimborso in caso di Falso 5.10.1 Una vendita sarà cancellata e la somma pagata vi verrà rimborsata se un Lotto (a parte i Lotti misti non descritti nel catalogo), da noi venduto venga provato essere un Falso. Tuttavia non saremo obbligati a rimborsare alcuna somma se (a) la descrizione del catalogo o la comunicazione fatta in sala nel giorno dell’asta corrispondeva all’opinione generalmente accettata da studiosi o esperti in quel momento o correttamente indicava che c’era un conflitto di opinioni, o (b) può essere dimostrato che il Lotto è un Falso solo attraverso, sia un procedimento scientifico non generalmente accettato per l’uso fino a dopo la pubblicazione del catalogo, sia attraverso un procedimento che alla data dell’asta fosse irragionevolmente costoso o impraticabile o che potesse causare danno al Lotto. Inoltre dovreste tenere in considerazione che il rimborso può essere ottenuto solo se sono rispettate le seguenti condizioni:

N.B: - In the case of shipping lots abroad, the Swiss VAT will not be charged. VAT and other charges are subject to the regulation of each country and are on the responsibility of the buyer.

In caso di spedizione di merce all’estero l’IVA svizzera non è addebitata. L’IVA e gli eventuali dazi a cui la merce sarà sottoposta nel paese in cui viene esportata sono invece a totale carico dell’acquirente.

- The above mentioned shipping charges are valid only up to 500 gr. Above 500 gr., for bulky parcels charges will be calculated individually.

In the absence of other instructions of the customer, we will ship the lots by postal mail within Switzerland and abroad with Fedex.

I costi di spedizione sopraindicati sono applicati per un peso fino a 500 gr. Oltre i 500 gr. e per spedizioni voluminose verranno presi accordi particolari. In assenza di diverse istruzioni del cliente, spediremo via Posta all’interno della Svizzera e tramite Fedex all’estero.

- Insurance charges are calculated as a percentage of the hammer price including charges and commissions.

Le spese assicurative sono calcolate in percentuale sul prezzo di aggiudicazione commissioni e spese incluse.

Collecting lots at the sale Purchasers who decide to collect their lots at Spink Switzerland’s office have to pay swiss VAT. VAT will be refunded by sending us the export document cancelled by the Swiss customs.

Ritiro della merce da parte del cliente In caso di ritiro della merce da parte del cliente in asta o presso i nostri uffici, l’IVA svizzera sarà addebitata in fattura e successivamente rimborsata al ricevimento del documento di esportazione timbrato dalla dogana svizzera.
