Welcome!

This is our 26th Public Auction and we are featuring the Richard E. Rustin Collection of British Commonwealth. An ardent student of shades and printings, he assembled his collection over many years with the help of the old Bridger & Kay catalogue and the Potter & Shelton tables. We are also featuring the Richard Maisel Collection of Seychelles. The specialists in this country will be tempted by the amazing range of varieties that Richard has amassed. His depth of knowledge and endless searching has made this quest look easy. It wasn’t. Fans of the Rhodesia Double Head issue will find a fascinating section of beautiful and rare stamps. There is also a strong section of collections at the end which is highlighted by a sizeable holding cataloguing nearly £200,000! Lot buyers take notice.

We are very proud to announce that we have been selected to sell the David L. Herendeen Collection of British Commonwealth Postage Dues in our fall auction. The collection has won two international gold medals and is replete with proofs, essays and rare stamps including the fabled Barbados inverted center, one of only two examples recorded, Grenada tête-bêche pairs and so much more! There will be at least 2 other major collections in the sale. Watch for our advertisements to find out more.

It is not too early to begin thinking about the International in London in May, 2010. We will have a very large and well staffed booth there and we will be happy to speak with you about selling or consigning material to us for that Exhibition.

The Yendall book, The King George VI Large Key Type Revenue and Postage High Value Stamps 1937 - 1953 which we distribute, has been awarded the Crawford Medal by the Royal Philatelic Society London. The award is given for "...the most valuable and original contribution to the study and knowledge of philately in book form..." Congratulations Eric! Well done. If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, you can still do so. Price is $125 shipped in the US, $145 to Canada and $150 anywhere else in the world. Request your copy today.

Now on with the sale!

 

 

Cordially,
