IMPORTANT; Viewing Arrangements for
              “Not-To-Auction” Lots this 
            This auction has a larger number of lots which
            have the “V” symbol
            in their description, signifying that they will not be taken to the auction venue.
            In the circumstances we are making arrangements so that
            these lots can be viewed at our shop premises on auction
            day, and that purchases can be collected that same evening.
            {a} In addition to the normal viewing arrangements noted
            above, any lots marked “V” can be viewed at our smaller shop at 1A 
            {b} After purchasing and paying for any “V” lots at the auction venue, customers can take
            their receipted invoice to our shop and pick up these lots,
            from 8pm until ten minutes after the last customer
            has been cleared through accounts.
            {c} Customers can still opt to collect their lots from us
            later in the week during shop opening hours.
            {d} There is no parking directly outside 1A, so customers
            will have to park a little
              further along

          The following page is the disposal of bulk stock
          which had been held in storage by a 
                       
          dealer. Most boxes are simply of random cheaper
          material, typically albums, stockbooks, 
                       
          album pages, loose stamps, thematic packets, covers,
          etc., although the mix from lot to lot 
                       
          will vary. This stock has been held in a basement for
          several years and while most is 
                       
          unaffected by this storage, there are some areas where
          material shows some deterioration.

          George VI issues in eleven springback albums.
          Collection has large numbers of complete 
                       
          definitive sets (sometimes both mint and used), and
          other better e.g. Silver Wedding sets 
                       
          (mint and/or used), and extras such as different perfs
          and shades are often present.
                       
          Collection gets off to a strong start with Aden, which
          includes 1937 Dhow set (12) l.m.m.

          S.Wedding m. & u. sets, 1951 surch set (11) both m.
          & u. and various States, but this is 
                       
          the most valuable country in the collection. Generally
          fine, just a small number of faults, 
                       
          mint is mixed u.m./l.m.m./m.m., and used is mainly
          fine.

NORMAL BIDDING STEPS
        We list here our normal bid steps for your
          information. This may be of help to bidders who are unable to

          our normal pattern would usually be taken 
          down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as
          much as possible, but do sometimes 
          change if circumstances make it desirable.)
          Up to £20, bids are in £1 steps.               
          From £20 to £30, bids are in £2 steps.
          From £30 to £50, bids are in £2 or £3 steps (i.e. £30, £32,
          £35, £38, £40, £42, £45, £48, £50).
          From £50 to £100 in £5 steps.                          
          From £100 to £200, bids are in £10 steps.
          Then £220, £240, £260, £280, £300, £320, £350, £380, £400,

          Bids by post.
          Please use the Bid Form supplied, and send first class.
                     
          Telephone bids
          will be accepted at any time before the sale (but the earlier
          the better). These bids       
          should be confirmed in writing, even if the written
          confirmation will not reach us until after the        
          auction. Numbers are 0131 552 1220, or 0131 478 7021.
                     
          A mobile number (07974 962649) can be called on the
            afternoon and evening of sale only. 
                     
          Fax bids; no
          fax facility is available. 
                     
          E-mail bids
          should be sent to us at [email protected] at any time from
          the moment you        
          receive this catalogue until 
                     
          time. Please use the format and wording used on the bid
          form that comes with your auction cat-
                     
          alogue, and include your postal address. (We have a
          back-up email address of  [email protected]
          in case of problems.) We normally confirm receipt of email
          bids within 
                     
          24 hours (not on the Sunday before the auction, and
          usually within one hour on the auction day)
€uro Currency; We are happy to accept Euro cash payments in
            our shop. We normally allow the market rate rounded down to
            the next whole penny. For example, at the time of writing,
            the market rate is 0.8698, so we are allowing 86p per Euro
            (which is probably better than your bank will give you). You
            can also pay for lots in this auction by Euro banknotes
            (postal customers please confirm before sending). We also
            accept payments in our shop in Euros, and we buy the old
            “legacy” currencies, as well as other coins and notes.

FORTHCOMING AUCTIONS; Our next auction is planned for early 26 March
          2018.
          This auction is conducted
            according to the “Philatelic Auctioneers Standard Terms and
            Conditions of Sale” (available if requested), with the
            exception of Clause 6, where “Scottish” should be
            substituted for “English”.
          A Buyer’s Premium of 10% (inclusive of global
            v.a.t.) will be added to the sale price of all lots.
                
          Telephone bids are accepted, but must later be
          confirmed in writing. Alternatives and limits are accepted.
          Material can be accepted
            at any time for inclusion in future sales. Our commission is
            12% of the sale price, plus administration fee of £1.50 per
            lot + £6.50 per vendor (all plus v.a.t.). Full details on
            request.
                  
            We DO NOT charge buyers a handling charge per lot,
            nor is there VAT added to any sale prices.
          Please bid early. In the case of equal bids,
            the lot will be sold to the person whose bid was received
            first (unless free bidding in the room equals the top
            book-bid, although the Auctioneer will try to regulate the
