(The first few lots have been tidied up to nearer their original style just to give you a better impression.)
 

The figure at the end of each description is our estimate, in pounds sterling. Bids are accepted above or below this figure, although bids below about 75% or 80% estimate only have a tiny chance of success.

After the main listings you will find various information and instructions. This is followed by a sample bid form, and a copy of the the notes that appear on the reverse of our bid forms.

This is a public auction, in which written/telephone/fax/e-mail bids are also accepted. If you are bidding with us for the first time, please bid by two of these methods with the same bids (e.g. by post and by fax, or by telephone and by e-mail), or bid in good enough time for us to get back in touch with you with any queries.

 1   Ideal Album with stamps from early to 1914-15. Album in decent used condition, containing
      about 3,500 stamps. Although a remainder collection, there are many useful stamps to be seen
      (it would appear that the collection has been picked and added to). Commonwealth is clearly
      stronger than Foreign, and includes many stamps catalogued in pounds, and some in £10s
      (e.g. Canada 1897 ½c, 5c, 10c u., 2c m.m., Cayman 1935-36 short set to 2/- m.m., Gold Coast,
      New Brunswick, Newfoundland, U.K., etc.) Condition varies, but on the whole good/fine.         ..        ..        £240.

 4     Small box with an accum./stock in packets and on stockcards of many world countries.

OUR CHARGES; We will be revising our auction charges during the summer break. Rather than just an inflation adjustment it is possible that we will step back and look afresh at the whole structure of our charges to buyers and sellers alike. Our current charges are on the whole considerably lower that the average in the auction market, and we know that our service compares well. We intend to maintain competitive rates and at the same time enhance some of our services.
